I do use the Flo app on my tv and it does take a lot of clicks.  Generally, if I'm double-screening, I put any Flo games on my laptop, because it's much easier (although not simple) to navigate via browser.

To be fair, though - I don't find many of the streamers super easy to navigate when it comes to sports.

A number of issues with the camera not following the play down field on the Hendrix broadcast. It seems like it was more in the second half so I wonder if they swapped camera operators at half time. Also one of the announcers wasn't very pleasant to listen to. That wasn't as bad in the second half as it seemed like the volume was turned down somewhat on that announcer.

Maybe I'll go back and watch some of the highlights, oh never mind, technical difficulties...

My two biggest issues with Flo navigation are:

(1) you might see recommended content with something like "WashU vs. Ohio Wesleyan" and have no idea if it's football, soccer, or volleyball (etc.).

(2) if you go to a category like College Football you see D3, D2, NAIA, FCS all together. I would like to see preference filters for each division.

Similarly, if you go to Flo's schedule of events for the day, everything is listed in order of start time. With so many games at this time of year, and lots starting at the same time, it can be hard to find a specific game. So, preference filters are a good idea. Or perhaps segregating games by affiliation (D2, D3, NAIA, etc). Having said that, I don't want to see them add more steps to the process.

These are good ideas, though Flo Sports should only tackle those after they have matched the standards set by Hudl.

Hudl is annoying because they minimize the game every so often to blast commercials. That may be fine in football or basketball where there are natural breaks in the action, but it's disruptive in soccer.

I have watched many games on the Hudl platform and cannot remember seeing a commercial that interrupted the stream, but that would suck.

If you don't see it for other games, it must have been the host school that added the commercials.  They had no announcers, so there was no sound, and then all of a sudden the video would minimize and a commercial would come up with blaring audio.  Not cool.  That's what I get for picking a random game to watch I guess!
