This isn’t going to make fans happy about the idea of watching live sports on YouTube TV.
On Wednesday night, during the Miami Heat’s Game 1 Eastern Conference playoff win over the Boston Celtics, YouTube TV suffered an outage, with fans having trouble accessing TNT’s feed.
They either got an error message or, for some, the Little Mermaid trailer played over and over. Not great! And with Sunday NFL Ticket coming to the streamer this fall, there were a lot of concerns from NFL fans about what that could mean later this year.
Here’s a roundup of the complaints and worries on Twitter:
YouTube TV stopped working country-wide during the final minutes of Heat/Celtics tonight.
With the NFL moving Sunday Ticket exclusively to YouTube TV, they're banking this won't happen come September. pic.twitter.com/uXuGyIEC7w
