Again you apparently dont have a DirectTv box. The simple sports app to get scores takes over a minute to load sometimes. They are really unusable.  What we have seen with the Xbox One is that the fantasy app loads in moments. So minutes to miliseconds.  Not a few miliseconds compared to a few more milliseconds like you claim.  My boasting was based in my success being in a business that requires logic to be successful and thats all. 

Many of us are looking for more than a video game console. We have grown up and are looking for a total entertainment system. I see no reason to waste all the power in todays systems when we arent playing games.  Yes I could track my Fantasy team with a phone/tablet/laptop beside my, but why should i have to so I can spare the precious console from doing anything more than playing games. Love my video games, but not everyone in the family does.  My wife for instance couldnt care less (Yes anecdotal forgive me), but she loves the media apps of the Xbox 360, yet finds navigating between DirectTv box, Blu Ray player, Xbox 360 more than cumbersome.  Dont even ask me what it is like when my parents visit and watch our children.  

NFL Sunday Ticket offerings include player tracker with real-time scores and stats. The only leap from this point to fantasy league is your brain. 

The NFL fantasy football app is different from my understanding and not directly involved. To which are you referring? 

"Many of us" - another logical fallacy is attempting to speak for others. While I understand your personal appeal to the device, this in no way provides any logical argument that it's anything other than atypical. Most people know how to press the input button on their remote to switch between devices, I'm sorry your wife is completely incapable of rather simple tasks. 

You know you can have a mature discussion or you can continue to go down and insult people. There is no need for that sort of crap.  Maybe you should mature a little.  

Maybe you have never seen a home theater system, but they are a bit more complex then that.  There is a whole consumer electronics category dedicated to high end universal remotes that try to make things easier. Is that category simply useless? Do they have no customers?  I think not.  When you multiple input devices, TV with multiple inputs, AV Receiver, etc. all from different manufacturers it can be complex.  Sure it has gotten easier with products like harmony remotes.  Still things are complicated and when they go wrong and unfortunately they do it isnt always a simple task.

So got home to give you some concrete evidence. Fired up the DirectTv box and it took 1 minute and 28 seconds to bring up the NFL Fantasy Sports app sign in screen.  Then shut it down and did it a couple of times again to see if any data/code us cached and yes it is so subsequent times it only took 40 seconds.  Still painfully slow.
