peelpub94 143 Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 (edited) Just got off the phone with MLB.tv.. If you're an MLB EI subscriber you'll be able to link your cable/satellite account to MLB.TV on Sunday and not have to pay for MLB.TV separately.

GrapeJuice 605 Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 This is my first year with it and, I've got to say, I'm pretty impressed so far. Got it to link with my Rokus after I dropped Directv and am impressed with everything so far. Was out at the Cactus League last week and got the MLB At Bat app for my Droid and we were able to watch crystal clear live games on my phone without WiFi, couldn't believe it. Expected the radio portion to work over cell network but not the TV portion. Assuming I setup my Unblock-us account properly I'm going to be a very happy camper this season. Oh, and I've got a buddy who's using the account in an entirely different market and hasn't had a problem either. Well done, MLB. Link to post Share on other sites
TribeFoo 1,489 Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 I saw MLB post on Twitter this morning that MLB.tv will be FREE all day today. Link to post Share on other sites
NoClownQuestionsBro 1,992 Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 I'm going to sit here patiently and wait for a coupon. It comes every year. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
mingusamongus 10 Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Just make sure you disable auto renew, and double check next January. I jumped on a $50 promo for mlb.tv premium around May/June last year, and got slapped with a $130 auto-renew this February. Link to post Share on other sites
vmo1059 516 Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 I'm going to sit here patiently and wait for a coupon. It comes every year. I wish I would have done the same. It's lame, they don't even offer $5 off anymore for returning auto-renew customers. Link to post Share on other sites
countseth 276 Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 I'm going to sit here patiently and wait for a coupon. It comes every year. How do you find it? I checked a bunch last year and never saw one. Do you just check every day or are you on their email list and wait for a coupon to be emailed to you? Link to post Share on other sites
strahanfan92 151 Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Any updates for the extra innings deal? Link to post Share on other sites
mjb03003 1,974 Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Why oh why can't MLB develop an app that is compatible with Chromecast. THAT would be the best. And does anyone know of how to get around blackouts? My buddy told me about a third party service that costs about $5/mo. that will help you get around it but he didn't have a lot of details and I haven't been able to find out more info.

amcsoldier 759 Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Lag is about 60 seconds for me today. Let's hope it's just opening day bugs. Link to post Share on other sites
An Old Hippie 466 Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 I'm getting blacked out to everything cause they say they can't verify my location... getting really pissed. This is why I left online MLBTV. I always was getting blacked out of games and having to spend time getting my IP address corrected. Got to be on a first name basis with customer help.

JFS179 3,772 Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Problem is apparently a known issue with all mobile devices -- on Opening Day. Thanks a bunch, MLB. Link to post Share on other sites

MiggyRunsTings 1,307 Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Lag is about 60 seconds for me today. Let's hope it's just opening day bugs. yeah this will become very annoying if this persists all year. i basically can't look at box scores as i'm watching b/c mlb.tv is well behind real time.

Choo on Wieters 129 Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 What I've found annoying is that it doesn't have a bar showing the progress of the game. Sometimes I've opened another game that I have watched earlier and it won't be live, but at the point I left at. On the nhl game enter app you can click live or scroll to a specific point in the game. Not available here. Link to post Share on other sites
parrothead 2,143 Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Any updates for the extra innings deal? I was looking today, looks to be about the same $180ish somewhere in that range through directTV includes the mlb.tv on any device, etc.Right now it always seems good but often times seems so many nights just not in front of TV at baseball times: 4:00PM for East Coast games, 5:00 for Central.

JFS179 3,772 Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Any ideas how to circumvent blackouts on a mobile device? Somehow they're blacking out the Braves game in Austin, yet I can watch the Rangers. Link to post Share on other sites
midlip 493 Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 It's not just mobile - I can't get access to ANY game on either ipad or laptop Link to post Share on other sites
Stickfig13 1,337 Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 I couldn't connect anywhere, but went to the forum and it said to use the "old" version. It works. Total crap by MLB.TV. Down for Opening Day on PS3 is bush league. Luckily I got in on my computer. Watching MadBum spin a gem on a laptop screen Link to post Share on other sites
vmo1059 516 Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 MLB.tv for xbox box one was junk about an hour ago. Video glitches galore and the app would also crash. Getting much better performance in the last 30 minutes. Speed not an issue as I can watch mlb.tv fine on my computer. Link to post Share on other sites
tucker26 2,390 Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 MLB.tv would be cool with its own chromecast app. However, you can cast it from the chrome browser on a PC and get 720p (depends on connection) on your TV. Chrome has a free extension called Stealthy that you can toogle on and off. Someone mentioned this earlier works well to hide your location. A blackout soloution. So there you go, $35 for a Chromecast and whatever your cost for MLB.tv and you get all the games. In all the markets. Link to post Share on other sites
