With simple to access recording of games live and unlimited DVR replay availability should not be an issue with ST. Just watch the recorded game.

I just want you guys to prepare yourselves for challenges. So far with the MLS being streaming only with Apple (besides sports bars) there have been a rocky few weeks. So far eight weeks into the soccer season:

-twice there have been issues with replays. Games worked fine but then if you wanted to watch the matches later that night or the next day they weren't available. Some games weren't available until Monday or Tuesday.
-last night was the worst happening with subscribers unable to watch some matches. Chicago/Philly, St. Louis/Cincinnati and Portland/Seattle were just some of the matches where people were unable to watch some or all of the game. St. Louis/Cinci was finally watchable with like 5 minutes left in the first half: but then it crashed again with 20 minutes left.

One thing people discovered with last night's outage is that it happened on all platforms: Apple app streaming on phones and iPad, Apple TV, Roku, XBox, PS etc. The only ones that had luck was laptop browser. Stick that in your memory banks if this happens with football.

OMG

I don't think you are really older than ME, but GOD DAMN MOTHER FUCK

you act like it.



get over it. streaming is the now. it is the forever future.

Uh. Wow.

All I’m saying is that I’m surprised by the fumbling of soccer at Apple.

I'd humbly ask we clean up the above post - we might have people (yours truly!) who peruse this at work and that is flag city.

No delivery platform is perfect.
-Comcast Cable went out for most of the Philadelphia area during an Eagles playoff game. Might have been an NFC Championship game IIRC.
-those of us with Dish or Direct have lost games during storms.

And streaming will also not be the end-all be-all perfection you think it will be. Just last night Netflix's first live premiere got delayed.

‘Love is Blind’ live reunion delayed as Netflix pleads for patience

New York
CNN
—
Netflix’s highly anticipated live reunion Sunday for the season 4 cast of its reality dating show “Love is Blind” has been delayed after technical issues kept eager fans waiting.

Eventually, Netflix opted to tape the show for streaming, announcing it would be available globally at 3 pm ET Monday.

“To everyone who stayed up late, woke up early, gave up their Sunday afternoon… we are incredibly sorry that the Love is Blind Live Reunion did not turn out as we had planned,” Netflix tweeted in a statement. “We’re filming it now and we’ll have it on Netflix as soon as humanly possible. Again, thank you and sorry.”

The second live show in Netflix’s history was expected to start at 8 p.m. ET Sunday. A couple minutes after its scheduled start time, Netflix tweeted: “Love is … late. #LoveIsBlindLIVE will be on in 15 minutes!”

A few minutes later, the streaming service promised the show “will be worth the wait….” When Netflix subscribers tried to access the stream, they were met with a screen that said, “It’s almost time! The live event will start soon.”

The company isn’t used to airing live events like many of its streaming competitors. The only live show to air on Netflix came on March 4 when it live-streamed “Chris Rock: Selective Outrage,” a standup special from the comedian. That streamed without a hitch.

Netflix’s rivals have found success with live streaming. Amazon Prime started airing Thursday Night Football last year. Apple TV+ partners with Major League Baseball for select games. And other competitors have gotten into the live space, as well.

But Netflix has been notoriously resistant – not because of technological hurdles, but because the company has repeatedly said live broadcast rights, particularly for sports, come at a high cost. Still, Netflix had a rough 2022, losing subscribers as consumer behavior shifted. The company started experimenting with live broadcasts as the media landscape continues to shift....

My two cents, I think the NFL is not going to dork around and allow YT be all "derpy derp be patient with us!" The NFL understands with a vengeance how important it is to make this work properly and at all times. It is just different where you have one day in the week where it ALL needs to work as opposed to MLB and MLS.

I chalk up the DirecTV outages that occurred last year as someone being asleep at the switch knowing that they were going to lose the deal, that is to say, it wasn't a coincidence.
