The new app seems to have a new approach where games will be available for a week and there is a guide for each sport about which actual games (from previous week) are available on which of the channels for that sport.

So far so good.

The problems is that once you select a replay game to watch you are not getting an on demand viewing of the game like a movie or a series episode, or like the replay event service in previous years. What you are getting is access to the requested game that is being shown on a loop like the WEB TV channel loops. This makes the service almost unwatchable. If I want to watch the Chelsea game from last weekend I may drop into the channel at minute 5 of the game or minute 85, or anywhere in between. At best I would need to figure out where in the loop the current showing is and then how much time i would need add in order to catch a full game on the next loop around.

This is a real reduction in functionality.
