How to Download and Use the CBS Sports App for Live Games
I remember the first time I tried to stream a live basketball game on my phone - what should have been a simple process turned into a frustrating hunt for the right app. That's when I discovered the CBS Sports App, which has completely transformed how I follow games like the recent PBA finals where Castro made his inspiring appearance at Tropang Giga practice just before Game 6. Having used this app for over two seasons now, I can confidently say it's become my go-to solution for catching live sports action when I'm away from my television.
Downloading the CBS Sports App takes less than two minutes - I timed it during my last installation. Simply visit your device's app store, search for "CBS Sports," and tap download. The app requires approximately 158MB of storage space on iOS devices and about 142MB on Android, which is quite reasonable considering the features it packs. What I particularly appreciate is that the basic version is completely free, though there is a premium tier that removes ads and offers some additional features for $4.99 monthly. I've stuck with the free version and found it perfectly adequate for my needs.
Once installed, the setup process is remarkably intuitive. The app guides you through selecting your favorite teams and sports, which I found crucial for getting personalized updates. During the recent PBA finals, this feature meant I received immediate notifications about Castro's surprise practice appearance, keeping me connected to developments beyond just the game itself. The interface uses a clean blue and white color scheme that's easy on the eyes, with live games prominently featured on the main screen. Navigation feels natural - swipe left for scores, right for news, and tap any game to access streaming options.
The true magic happens when you start watching live games. I've found the streaming quality consistently excellent, provided you have a stable internet connection of at least 5Mbps. During peak viewing times, I did experience occasional buffering, but switching to a lower quality setting usually resolves this. What sets this app apart from others I've tried is the integration of live stats and play-by-play commentary alongside the video feed. You can toggle between different viewing modes depending on whether you want full-screen video or a split-screen experience with real-time statistics. Personally, I prefer the split-screen view as it gives me both the visual action and detailed analytics simultaneously.
Another feature I've come to rely on is the ability to set reminders for upcoming games. The app automatically syncs with your device's calendar and sends push notifications 30 minutes before games begin. This proved incredibly useful during the PBA finals when I nearly forgot about Game 6 due to work commitments. The notification system also alerts you to key moments - when a game goes into overtime or when there are significant player developments, like Castro's inspiring return to practice despite his recent recovery milestone.
While the app excels in many areas, it's not without minor flaws. I've noticed that battery consumption can be significant during extended viewing sessions - approximately 15-20% per hour on my smartphone. The app also occasionally logs users out unexpectedly, requiring reauthentication. However, these are relatively small inconveniences compared to the overall value. The developers seem to regularly address such issues through updates, having released 12 version improvements in the past year alone.
Having used numerous sports apps over the years, the CBS Sports App stands out for its reliability and comprehensive coverage. It successfully bridges the gap between being a simple streaming service and a complete sports information hub. Whether you're following major leagues or specialized competitions like the PBA, this app delivers both the games and the stories behind them. For any sports enthusiast looking to stay connected to live action and related developments - like Castro's determined practice session before a crucial finals game - this application has become, in my professional opinion, an essential digital companion.
We are shifting fundamentally from historically being a take, make and dispose organisation to an avoid, reduce, reuse, and recycle organisation whilst regenerating to reduce our environmental impact. We see significant potential in this space for our operations and for our industry, not only to reduce waste and improve resource use efficiency, but to transform our view of the finite resources in our care.
Looking to the Future
By 2022, we will establish a pilot for circularity at our Goonoo feedlot that builds on our current initiatives in water, manure and local sourcing. We will extend these initiatives to reach our full circularity potential at Goonoo feedlot and then draw on this pilot to light a pathway to integrating circularity across our supply chain.
The quality of our product and ongoing health of our business is intrinsically linked to healthy and functioning ecosystems. We recognise our potential to play our part in reversing the decline in biodiversity, building soil health and protecting key ecosystems in our care. This theme extends on the core initiatives and practices already embedded in our business including our sustainable stocking strategy and our long-standing best practice Rangelands Management program, to a more a holistic approach to our landscape.
We are the custodians of a significant natural asset that extends across 6.4 million hectares in some of the most remote parts of Australia. Building a strong foundation of condition assessment will be fundamental to mapping out a successful pathway to improving the health of the landscape and to drive growth in the value of our Natural Capital.
Our Commitment
We will work with Accounting for Nature to develop a scientifically robust and certifiable framework to measure and report on the condition of natural capital, including biodiversity, across AACo’s assets by 2023. We will apply that framework to baseline priority assets by 2024.
Looking to the Future
By 2030 we will improve landscape and soil health by increasing the percentage of our estate achieving greater than 50% persistent groundcover with regional targets of:
– Savannah and Tropics – 90% of land achieving >50% cover
– Sub-tropics – 80% of land achieving >50% perennial cover
– Grasslands – 80% of land achieving >50% cover
– Desert country – 60% of land achieving >50% cover
