Live sports ticker on recorded games??? Don’t read if you haven’t watched game 6 of the World Series.

SpoilerSports

So I recorded the World Series game 6 last night to watch in the morning because you know… I like sports and I wanted to see what happened.

So I’m in line the 7th inning, it’s 3-1 LA over TOR, and what comes popping up at the bottom of the screen? AN AD FOR GAME 7 TONIGHT AT 7 PM!!! And I’m like what???? I’m literally watching game 6 with no clue what happens and it’s ruined by some stupid ad! Is this a YouTube TV feature??? Or did my YouTube TV start recording a replay from like 2AM or something and they played the ad during the replay? I feel like I can’t trust YTTV to watch recorded sports anymore because they’re just going to broadcast what happened at the bottom of the screen.

I feel stupid for not understanding what happened here, but this is baffling to me. It’s like you’re at the movies watching a mystery and halfway through the movie an ad pops up saying “come see the sequel where the main character comes back from the dead and gets his revenge on John the murderer!” No point in watching the movie anymore…

Sorry… I’m angry.
