Talk about shows at the right time. Keep sessions smooth with StreamDVR.
StreamBuddies helps you avoid spoilers by tracking what your friends have watched—so you know who’s safe to message. Add StreamDVR when you want DVR-style session tools (bookmarks, break cues, and smarter recs) without changing or copying protected content.
This is a static demo UI—your extension runs in Chrome and syncs your friend-safe context.
