YouTube TV scores a touchdown with custom multiview setups and a way to monitor fantasy rosters

Web Hosting & Remote IT Support

The next NFL season officially kicks off on September 5, 2024, and ahead of the start date, YouTube TV has revealed multiple new features catering primarily to the American Football audience. 

Subscribers to NFL Sunday Ticket will be given the ability to create their own multiview setup, meaning you won't be forced to choose a pre-made combination.

YouTube states that users can pull together two, three, or four Sunday Ticket games at once. Subscribers can also enjoy their multiview setup “on mobile devices and tablets, in addition to TVs,” so they’ll never have to worry about missing out on a killer play. Base Plan members will instead have to settle for looking up multiview streams of NFL games airing on locally selected stations, though.

Next, fantasy football players can connect their Yahoo Fantasy account to YouTube TV through the platform’s Fantasy View feature. The announcement says to connect their account, users need to go to the “Sports” tab within the app’s account settings menu on their smartphone. 

Once everything is set up, a new “Fantasy” tab appears on YouTube TV's Scores & Stats page. This tab will show your team’s players, scores, and opponent’s roster, among other things. 

Additionally, several improvements are scheduled to be released to Fantasy View. Sunday Ticket subscribers will receive even more love as they’ll gain unique access to the feature on tablets and web browsers later in the season. 

Plus, fantasy football players will begin to see “key plays and multiview combinations tailored to their… lineups” at a future update.

New design

Back in March, YouTube rolled out a new two-column layout to its video player. Viewers can watch a video on the left and check out the comment section or the channel’s description on the right. This same design is now being introduced to sports content. However, instead of comments, you’ll see live stats, scores from other games, key plays, and info on your fantasy football team lineup.

Other notable features in the patch include a spoiler mode to hide final scores, “advanced playback controls” like Broadcast Delay to “reduce live spoilers,” and a shortcut called Jump to Last Channel. This lets you hop between channels so you don’t miss the action.

It’s unknown exactly when the update will launch other than it’ll come out sometime in the autumn. We reached out for more information on this, and we'll update this story if we hear back.

AI tools are making social engineering attacks even more convincing, and I fear that this is only the beginning

Web Hosting & Remote IT Support Nick Park’s Wallace and Gromit were brought crashing into the 21st century in December 2024 with their latest adventure, Vengeance Most Fowl . The film challenges our growing dependence on smart technology in the form of a robotic garden gnome, built by Wallace to support his gardening business, which is then hacked by the Kubrick-esque Feathers McGraw for his own nefarious purposes. One of the more interesting but less commented on parts of the film shows Gromit cautiously entering his house and being greeted by what he thinks is Wallace’s reassuring voice, only to be confronted with Feathers and the robotic gnome. Technology’s ability to mimic linguistic patterns, to clone a person’s voice and understand and respond to questions has developed dramatically in the last few years. This has not gone unnoticed by the world’s criminals and scammers, with the result that social engineering attacks are not only on the rise but are more sophisticated a...

The Apple Watch ban is lifted, on appeal – but the reprieve might only be temporary

Web Hosting & Remote IT Support The Apple Watch ban story has developed quickly over the last week and a bit, and there's now a new twist: the US Court of Appeals is putting a pause on the US sales and import ban while it reviews the case, which means the Apple Watch 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2 can go back on sale for the time being. "We are thrilled to return the full Apple Watch lineup to customers in time for the new year," an Apple spokesperson told TechRadar. "We are pleased the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit has stayed the exclusion order while it considers our request to stay the order pending our full appeal." The watches in question are now once again available from "select" Apple Stores, and will also be going on sale from the Apple website from 12pm PT / 3pm ET on Thursday, December 28 (that's 8pm in the UK, and early on December 29 in Australia). All Apple Stores should have stock by the weekend. As for how long t...
