Earlier this year, Walt Disney’s ESPN, Fox, and Warner Bros. Discovery announced a new streaming bundle that will offer 16 live sports channels and zero non-sports-related channels. For sports fans, this may be “the” dream service, letting them watch sports without paying for the Disney Channel or MTV.
Now the service will e launching next month so lets take a look at everything we know about this new service.
DVR & Multi-View Streaming
Now, thanks to a leak spotted by Lowpass, we have learned a lot about the new streaming service, including that it will offer Multi-View, DVR, and more. You will also be able to disable current scores for games or have them set to be publicly available.
The leak happened because the developers apparently left a copy of the app that Lowpass spotted publicly available online.
As Lowpass’s Janko Roettgers says, this is an early beta app, and things could change as the service gets closer to launch ahead of this year’s fall sports. You can find screenshots of the app online HERE. Venu Sports has not officially announced details on its DVR and Multi-View support.
