If there's ever a time people don't want to see the spinning wheel, it's during the Super Bowl.
On Sunday, that's what many subscribers of both Paramount+ and Fubo had to endure. There were multiple reports from subscribers of both sites calling out the two streaming services for issues carrying the matchup between the Chiefs and 49ers.
The issues appeared to be limited to the start of the game, but any issues for the most-watched sporting event of the year are going to be widely panned.

Neither Paramount+ nor Fubo have stated any issues with the streams of their games, but that doesn't mean it wasn't a problem, as several people pointed out.
If you’re gonna be the ONLY app to have the most watched 3 hours of television of the year. Make sure your app can handle it. #ParamountPlus #SuperBowl pic.twitter.com/TRGAPF6VCv

That may do it for me and Fubo. At 14:23 in quarter 1 of super bowl I get the spinning wheel "hang tight" and then video is lost. Done.
