Good news that it's getting away from DirecTV...but very bad news for the ~50% of Smart phone users who have Android OS phones..
The Mets broadcast was an absolute debacle from a technical perspective. No ability to pause or rewind, constant buffering and crashing. Hope they figure out some sort of Android app solution if this deal goes through.
Would have preferred Amazon or Youtube...

You can’t play upscaled 4K content on a non 4K display and native 4K is flat out better than that and it’s what I like. Enjoy your HD, I’ll enjoy 4K when I can get it and looking forward to more sporting options in 4k.
I have a 4K TV as well as a few 1080p sets. And I have two 5K (I think or 6K) monitors, as well as several 1080p monitors. I sample it all.

you can pause, rewind and fast forward (to catch up) live games, what's the worry here? And they also archive most games after they are over (blackout still applies I think which is standard) which is cloud stored games (cloud DVR). Its a weird concern, cloud DVR has existed for years.
Im not watching games on my computer, Im watching on my TV. And, again, I want to walk in during the 2nd quarter and start watching - not wait till the game is over
Also, only aficionados care about 4K. The fact is the digital picture on Directv HD is fantastic. You sound like my audiophile friend who will nitpick every sound when to the rest of us it sounds great
You'll most likely be able to do exactly that. My understanding is that there will be a "watch live" button and a "watch from start" button. And you'll have full REV/FF functionality.
But keep crying.
"your understanding"? From what source is this "understanding"?

You've only been here for a little while (under this handle, anyway), so I don't blame you for questioning my bona fides. But between the shield and the apple, strictly in terms of biz dev, I'm not disconnected on either side.
You know that your registration date is in your profile, right?
Those were a good 8 years. Let's go back to that.
