The MLBTV website says "end of March."Does anyone know when mlbtv will work for the Roku? Mine continues to says "Coming soon." I even uninstalled and reinstalled the app.

Somebody said they found it recently in Blackberry App World. It was apparently released in the past couple of days. I haven't tried it yet. It does show on there but it's the $14.99 version.At Bat for the ipad is included with a premium MLBTV membership.
Why not the blackberry? Anyone know?
Same for me, nothing like the last momentLooks like Roku App went live today, but none of this afternoons ST games have video just audio broadcasts
I had to start playing a live/archived game to get it to ask for my username/password. Seems to work pretty well once you get it up and running.How do you access your mlb.tv subscription from the xbox app? I'm signed in to Live and all I see are the free features, no live games. I go to account management, nothing.
Ah, thanks.I had to start playing a live/archived game to get it to ask for my username/password. Seems to work pretty well once you get it up and running.
Depends on what you're hoping to see. If you want to see the PawSox, you're golden, but there's not a lot outside of AAA (check their list of participating teams). From a quick scan of the PawSox schedule it looks as though all their games will be covered. Quality depends on the home ballpark; generally it's at least OK but there's somewhere the PawSox play on the road where I swear they only have two cameras mounted on the roof. Maybe a few more freeze-ups with milb.tv than mlb.tv last year, and the sound often seemed really low--sometimes I'd mute the milb.tv sound and pull up the PawSox radio stream via WHJJ online. I do think it's a good deal, though.Could anyone share thoughts on milbtv? Is it worth it? Do they show most of the games? It seems like a good deal for $40, but I'd like to hear some testimonials from folks with firsthand experiences before going through with buying it.
Its really a personal preference. If you don't mind spending the extra $50 for the HD Roku then get the HD oneI'm going to be moving to Texas in a couple of weeks, so I'll definitely be getting MLB.tv.
I have the 720p Roku, but I have a 1080p television. Is it worth upgrading to the 1080p Roku, or will I not really notice the difference?
Any issues streaming MLB.tv to older Roku models (I have the original Roku HD)?

Edit: don't most sports broadcast NOT broadcast in 1080P, as its not the standard in HD yet?
I don't have a Roku, so I can't answer your second question. On the first question, I would say no. 'm far from an expert, so I'm just going from what I've read. But I've seen quite a few articles like this, where the author claims there is little noticeable difference between 1080p and 720p unless you either have a really big TV or sit really, really close to the TV while you watch. Not to mention that most of the content you would be viewing on a Roku won't be streamed in 1080p anyways.I'm going to be moving to Texas in a couple of weeks, so I'll definitely be getting MLB.tv.

Update: although they aren't listed right now, Ed Jenson reports over on SoxProspects that the Greenville Drive home games will be on milb.tv as well. (The Drive schedule does show the video icon, so I don't know why MiLB doesn't have them on the main page.)Depends on what you're hoping to see.

They have been doing this for years. I don't like it either. They went from showing real commercials, to a slide of bobble head dolls while ukelele music played to the commercial break in process screen. They played the local radio commercials so I don't know what the difference is.Nitpicking here, but they really need to go back to showing their own commercials instead of "Commercial break in progress". Why did they start doing this? I usually run the game through ps3, so the awkward 2-3 minute silence sucks at times.
Thanks for your thoughts on the service. It seems like a reasonably good price for what it offers, but I think it's a few years away from being a product with mass appeal. It's awesome that two Sox affiliates are signed up.Update: although they aren't listed right now, Ed Jenson reports over on SoxProspects that the Greenville Drive home games will be on milb.tv as well.

Seriously. You guys want to be advertised to?I can't believe people are complaining about not getting commercials. I enjoy the 3 minutes of peaceful silence. In related news, the ballpark audio feed (no announcers) is pretty cool too.
Cool, thanks. Do things like HideMyIP or witopia work w/ the Roku app? If so, then Roku seems the way to go for me - but if not, I'll spring for a good big monitor and just watch on my PC.If your TV has the Red/White/Yellow AV ports then yes it will work fine. That's what mine it attached to now and it works fine.
If you go into Network settings on in the list of settings on the far left in the XMB, and do everything manually, at some point it should ask if you want to setup a proxy after you get the basic network stuff setup.Does anyone here know how to mask your IP or use a proxy on the PS3? I can only find guides on how to do it for a PC on google. I want to be able to get around the blackout restrictions when watching with the PS3 app. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
All season.Anyone know generally how long they keep archive games up for during the season?
Stunning is the right word. I couldn't get over how good it looked yesterday on the TV through my blu-ray player. It's noticeably improved since just the other day when I was watching spring training games.Just in case anyone else is playing the "do I have the bandwidth?" game in their head, my PS3 tested as just barely getting a high enough download speed through my home wireless network to enable HD streaming. It was completely stunning, and I couldn't tell I was watching an internet stream over a wireless connection as opposed to watching regular cable TV. It is glorious.
I assume the tv is connected to your network and other built in web apps are working? If so than you may need to update the TV somehow, either the app itself or in the web app settings, or perhaps the TV's firmware.Anyone have a Samsung Smart TV? We recently received one as a gift and I was looking forward to running the MLBtv app on it but it doesn't workt. According to the MLB website it says it supports Samsung but when I run the app on the actual television I keep on getting an error.
I take back my ST rant. MLB.tv is an incredible product that seems to be widely underpriced but sshhhh don't tell them that. And I haven't even tried the XBOX version.Absolutely awful. I barely got a feed on Sunday and I can't get anything now. Oh but I can watch archived games. Yippeee. That's why I got this steaming pile of shit to watch archived games.
Do you have AdBlock? I haven't seen one ad this season.I love MLB.tv and couldn't survive the season without it. It has progressed an unbelievable amount in the five or so years I've had it. However, there is one new feature for this year that is decidedly less than excellent:
Super-loud and unmutable commercials between innings. I was just assaulted with some ad for a James Cameron special that was far louder than the game I was watching, and there was no option to adjust the ad's volume. I had to mute my laptop and unmute it when the game came back on. Last night I had muted the game that I was watching, but when the commercial came on the MLB.com Media Player ignored my muting and blared their commercial. I thought that my $130 would be enough to avoid these type of commercials.
Yup, I've tried it on some pretty high speed connections but it still cuts in and out a fair bit.Has anyone else used the at bat radio app from their phone yet this year? So far I've tried it both in the car on my phones 4g, and at home through my wireless, and both times its cut in and out a lot, and when it worked it was really slow so all the announcers had baritone extended voices. Anyone else have this problem?
