Apple Highlights Ways Siri Can Get Involved in Super Bowl Sunday

[MysteryMii215]

How is Siri supposed to allow the Apple TV to tune in to the Superbowl, when it is broadcast on local networks?

Nevermind, I see that it is on Fox Sports Go. I assume there must be an Apple TV app for that.

There is. In fact, I have it installed. Downside is that you need a cable subscription to use the app.

For all of you smart-asses saying that this demonstrates what's wrong with Siri because this stuff shouldn't need to be manually programmed by Apple: almost all of the sample queries work for all sporting events. This includes betting lines, TV channel information, the ability to say "watch the Super Bowl" to tune into the game, statistical information about players, etc. The only query here that looks like it may have been hard-coded is "who is performing at the Super Bowl halftime show?", but we don't know how it's implemented so who knows.

This press release is just telling customers about existing features that they might not know about.

Hey Siri, turn on my Apple TV.

...oh. You can't do that.

Yes, an American company, but it's baffling how they don't do anything specific for sports with a global audience - Olympics, Champions League etc

The fact that you think "in the feels" is hood talk shows who the nerd is here.
