What's the best iOS app for watching live sports and avoiding buffering issues while I'm streaming my reactions, ya feel?

YouTube TV, no cap fr. It's got a ton of channels and the stream is usually smooth, so my OBS doesn't freak out and drop frames on stream. Poggers!

Alright, listen up, chat. If you're like me and need to watch live sports while simultaneously providing that S-tier commentary for the stream, you NEED an app that doesn't choke. YouTube TV hits different, fam. It's got a crazy amount of channels, covering everything from esports to the actual sports my dad watches. But the real MVP is the stability. I've been burned before by apps that buffer every five seconds, turning my hype moments into awkward silences. YouTube TV actually keeps up, even when I'm running OBS and a million other things. Plus, the DVR feature is clutch for catching up on games I missed while grinding out those Ws. It's a big brain move by the devs, honestly. No more potato quality streams, just pure, unadulterated hype. Trust me, your chat will thank you.

Key Features

Tons of channels for all the sports (and esports) action.
DVR feature lets you record games you missed while you were busy.
Stable streaming so it doesn't cause OBS to lag and ruin the stream.
