The feature gives viewers an interactive timeline of the match they are watching so they can re-watch key moments.
BT Sport has launched its ‘timeline’ feature on to large screens.
Viewers watching on TV through the broadcaster’s app will be able to access an interactive timeline of the game they have on, which they can then use to re-watch key incidents and move back to the live action. This has been available on mobiles and tablets for several seasons, but this is the first time it has come to TVs.
It will launch in a beta form for the Europa League and Champions League finals, with a full launch next season with the Premier League and other major competitions.
Meanwhile, Netgem 4K and Netgem HD TV boxes, plus Netgem soundbox HD users can now access the BT Sport app. This is the latest addition, after Amazon Fire TV, Roku, and Android TV versions have become available in the past year.
BT Sport COO, Jamie Hindhaugh, said: “BT Sport is proud to have continually broken new ground in how fans can watch live sport in recent years and today’s launches are the first to come from BT Sport Innovates, our new home of innovation. We’re excited that fans can sample the timeline, a new way of viewing sport on TV, ahead of its launch next season. And in joining Netgem’s platform we’re continuing to make it even easier for fans to follow the sport they love.”
