DStv: 34,490 — Netflix: 1

Of Netflix's three attempts to stream events live, only one has succeeded. In contrast, DStv streams thousands of live sporting events and other content every year across dozens of channels with minimal disruptions.

Netflix's foray into live-streamed events began with Chris Rock's comedy special Selective Outrage in March last year, which went off with no major technical issues.
 
I believe the number represents the successful streams. 108 million watched.
Where did they live stream to 108 million people without their services dropping like a ten ton truck?
 
Why you struggling.............is it just buffering like the recent boxing match?
 
You know I love how you guys always moan about the 720p resolution. Whereas actually it's up to 1080p on the apps, what they need to fix is their audio. That is terrible, most decent TVs can fix 720p to look decent on a 4k screen, but they cannot fix audio.
You have a decent 5.1 surround sound system and it sounds like kak
Just watch the first few minutes of this, Linus does a demo of sound vs picture.

Isn't it 1080p interlaced so basically upscaled 720p ? And you can't compare upscaled content to native resolution.
Nope that is for the satellites for bandwidth reasons
