ESPN adds personalized recommendations and offline viewing

ESPN is making some welcome (and arguably overdue) improvements to its ESPN service that could change how and where you watch. Its updated app now includes personalized recommendations for ESPN, starting with on-demand videos. You'll probably see more highlight clips from the latest NHL matches. Recommendations will "soon" spread to live and future events, so you might spot big matches you would otherwise miss. The company is also borrowing a page from Netflix and other services by introducing offline viewing.
