What’s happened? On October 24, 2025, NBA fans streaming with Amazon Prime Video will get access to new features for a better user experience. These features will improve areas like personalization, engagement, streaming quality, and AI integration. The new features are:

  • FanDuel integration for tracking bets and odds in real-time.
  • Fully customizable Multiview, which gives you the ability to simultaneously watch different NBA games on one screen, or across various screens.
  • Key Moments will show you short clips of the major highlights of the game.
  • Rapid recap, which uses AI to curate short videos of all key moments in the game.
  • Accessible in-game stats for any player on the court or the various teams playing.
  • HDR video and proprietary ultra-low latency tech.

Why is this important? The new features are part of a landmark 11-year streaming deal between the NBA and Amazon. It aims to make streaming the game more enjoyable for fans using the service. With the season preparing to officially start later this month, fans can expect a better viewing experience.

  • These new features will help you access more information on the game from their device’s screen.
  • Helps ensure you don’t miss any part of the game.
  • Gives you full control over which games they view.
  • All controls are built into the Amazon Prime Video viewing interface for accessibility.

Why should I care? These new features are game-changing for fans who stream NBA games on Amazon Prime Video. If you use Prime Video, you’ll be able to enjoy the new features during the 2025/2026 season.

  • The new features are available on an Amazon Prime Video subscription for $14.99 a month.
  • Users of other membership plans can also access these features.
  • Amazon is making these new features available on the web, mobile app, or smart TV.
  • All NBA games will be available in native 1080p High Dynamic Range (HDR) video and 5.1 surround sound.

Okay, what’s next? The 11-year streaming deal that led to the birth of these features also includes the WNBA league. So, by next year, when the WNBA league is back on screens, you’ll also be able to enjoy these features while streaming.

Apple HomeView has a screen, an A18 chip, and a streaming problem
Apple built HomeView, but your iPhone still has to do the heavy lifting
Apple HomeView

Apple’s new HomeView smart display is meant to merge entertainment and smart home controls, but it has a surprising limitation: it can’t natively run several of Apple’s own apps. Users will need to connect an iPhone to access services including Apple TV, Apple Books audiobooks, Apple Music Classical and Apple News Plus, according to the Apple CarPlay Developer Guide.

That restriction begs the question of how useful HomeView will be as an entertainment device, especially when rival smart displays already have native access to popular streaming services. Apple has billed HomeView as a hub for the connected home, but the reliance on an iPhone might make the experience less convenient than advertised.
