This is the best summary I could come up with:


When YouTube TV took over NFL Sunday Ticket, the key was ensuring that the experience was as good as it had been on DirecTV for the previous 29 years.

Users across social media reported suffering lag and long, repetitive buffering sessions with the streams throughout the day.

As per The Athletic, YouTube TV even added "better video quality" and a multiview feature with "minimal streaming delays."

In May, the conclusion of an NBA playoff game was replaced with a repeating ad for the live-action The Little Mermaid movie due to a glitch.

Despite frustrating hiccups and demands for refunds, it's inevitable that sports, like every other sort of media that used to be constrained to linear TV, find their way to streaming services.

And other streaming services, like Amazon Prime Video with Thursday Night Football, have implemented live sports without major glitches.
