Oh really? Netflix is far ahead of the competition when it comes to device support. And the streaming technology plays a lot bigger role than you might imagine, especially when it comes to live content. Contrary to popular belief, this is not a solved problem. Like I mentioned above in another comment, just try watching a streaming NBA game.
- travem 13y agoI don't think Netflix would have any special insight as to streaming live action such as sports. Streaming and caching content from a movie or TV episode enables additional options compared to live content.
- kodablah 13y agoYes really. Can you elaborate on "far ahead" on device support compared to the TWC TV, HBO Go, and MLB.TV? Being able to control a DVR (like in the TWC TV app) or watching live television and easily perusing a guide and switching between streams (like in the TWC TV app or the MLB.TV app) are pluses over Netflix's offering. I have watched live streaming sports without issue over ESPN's offerings or individual league offerings and I find they work well and provide a lot of alternative content, things which Netflix isn't even in the business of having much less having the features for.
