The Super Bowl XLVI event was streamed officially via NBCSports.com and NFL.com for the first time and has become the “most-watched single-game sports event ever online,” as well as the most-watched television event in US TV history, says NBC.
The live streaming didn't go without a hitch though as many users reported that the footage shown wasn’t live but lagged up to 10-15 minutes behind the action of the pitch, while some complained that the picture quality was poor and not "HD-quality" as the channel had promised.
NBC didn’t confirm whether the data included users streaming the game over Verizon, who was the exclusive mobile phone partner of this year’s Super Bowl event.
