> The big problem is spoilers. If you are not very careful, if you go to the Peacock site you will get spoilers. For example, if the medal games are in your list, they change the title of the entry to be the names of the people playing -- spoiling the semi-finals for you. I love sports but hate watching them delayed online because of design like this. I don’t know who created these designs but it’s terrible. The author is right, a local “dumb” DVR is the way to go for watching sports. The UX for online sports is terrible. One example is soccer matches on ESPN, they will display highlight bars on the timeline when something exciting happens, like a goal or a penalty. It’s destroys the suspense for me because I see the markers and know something is going to happens. They also show a progress bar with the length, which makes it easy to know if the game went into extra time. Eg. One team goes up 2 goals early but the recording time is longer then you know the other team comes back to force extra time.
