Netflix's Hidden Upgrade Solves a Universal Problem for Millions of Users

Netflix has quietly made a technical change to how it handles high-definition films, resulting in a hidden upgrade for all premium subscribers. The change, called "Dynamically Optimized HD," reduces buffering by encoding videos more efficiently, allowing devices to download less data while maintaining the same video quality. This improvement benefits all device categories and also reduces data usage for mobile and tablet users. The upgrade comes as Netflix faces backlash for price hikes and cracking down on password sharing.

YouTube TV Enhances Sports Viewing Experience with Reduced Broadcast Delay

YouTube TV now allows users to reduce the broadcast delay, enabling them to watch sports events closer to real-time. However, this may result in more buffering due to reduced buffering time for internet delays. Users need to manually turn on this feature, which lasts for 48 hours before reverting to default settings. To enable it, users can update the broadcast delay in the YouTube TV app and choose between "Decrease for 48 hours" for low delay or "Default" for minimal playback interruptions.
