#12I'm using iptv and its stuck with a spinner.
Unrelated but what IPTV provider are you using? I've been searching for a good one

#13Your engineer comment is unwarranted. I’ll say though … Live streaming is a radically different tech challenge than serving static content. And this fight was the first live streaming event Netflix has ever done. Let’s not trash our HN friends, since many Netflix engineers are active on HN.
It’s not unwarranted IMHO: you’re paying a premium for what is assumed to be top-tier talent and engineering rigor. It is reasonable to expect a higher return for that investment.
Netflix has a stellar tech track-record.
One bad night and people talk crap. Now that’s not right.

Your participation in the multiple threads about this tonight is extremely suspicious if you're not someone who has a vested interest in preserving the integrity of Netflix's brand, as both a product and an employer.

I agree but this is what tech companies have made us into with their instant gratification expectation.

For the people who care about it (personally, I do not in this case, but there is others where I do), this is not just 'one bad night'; it is exactly the sort of event which justifies the premium.
I see we are fully into the post-accountability world.
At the very least, the customers deserve an explanation of what highly-improbable circumstance led to the unfortunate outcome, if the claim that "it's not right" is to be considered justified.

This is more so a business error than a technical one. They needed to take more baby steps up to an event of this magnitude.
