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.
I agree, but typically, when you record an Xfinity show to DVR, you can fast forward through the commercials, but when you watch the On-Demand recording, you cannot. Apparently, the Netflix games will have ads, but it remains to be seen if you will be able to fast forward through the commercials.
