Still canât believe the other bvod services havenât added a âstart overâ button to the live streams of their broadcast channels. I think itâs underrated!

Itâs useful but it is missing in my view a required feature the ability to seek to a particular point in the show. For example if there is a issue and your connection drops out about say 20 minutes into Nineâs Sydney news with Peter Overton and the program overall hasnt finished yet you canât seek to where you were watching you have to start over again from the beginning. It should work like on YouTube Live Stream whereby you can seek to any point. Obviously block seeking for ads when they appear and possibly have a pre roll. I havenât used the function for a few months but I donât think it has changed much.

I think the idea is Nine would prefer you to watch the whole program and its ads, essentially âas-liveâ. Itâs still a live stream, rather than âon-demandâ. But yes, I know what you mean and agree, it is annoying.

I was wondering why BBC Earth went missing over a week ago. Fetch still carries the proper subscription version of it, so it wouldnât surprise me if it was deemed unnecessary to have both available in the same market. Weird thereâs no mention of it though.
CBeebies would surely be next in line to pop up.
Nine also seems to be positioning 9Now more like a pay TV-style offering these days⌠almost as if theyâre compensating for a certain missed opportunity to acquire a particular providerâbut who really knows?
