Xfinity is live television with the capability to record. When you record them you say they are on your DVR. When Xfinity records them you say they are On-Demand. Both are recordings.

Neftlix doesn't normally have the concept of "live" anything. Your record button doesn't work because it doesn't make sense; all Netflix content has already been recorded and is played back on-demand.

The question is, will the operational mode change for the games today? Will Netflix provide a real time feed during the game and then after the game provide it as on-demand? Or, will Netflix provide the game on-demand from the start but with fast-forward working only until you reach the current time? (clearly, you can't FF to the end of the game before it has happened)

From what Tal is reporting, Neflix is able to use the on-demand mode for this show as well.
