While the launch of Paramount+ got all the attention—perhaps undeservedly, given that it’s just a rebranded CBS All Access—the bigger news slipped under the radar.

By letting people bet on the games they’re watching, TV providers may have found a new audience to help pay for live sports.

While inconsistent sound levels are hardly a new issue in the audio/video world, streaming services seem to have exacerbated the problem by putting so many different companies in charge of the experience.

If you have a Fire TV streaming player, your home screen could look a lot different next month as Amazon rolls out its biggest interface overhaul in more than four years.
