Maybe in the movies.
The military guys operate predator, they don't design it. It was probably designed back in the early 90's and uses poorly compressed unencrypted video feeds. Video feeds in the early 90's sucked.

The military usually has a hand in the design, but they aren't the prime maker of the UAV. The predator UAVs is made by general atomics... I guess that didn't cross their minds when they designed the electronics.... The global hawk is much more robust.
