Anyone have MLB.TV?

All The Hype · May 18, 2010

I bought it at the beginning of the year, but the Tigers game today is blacked out because they're playing Chicago. Apparently Chicago is supposed to be in my cable viewing range, but the game is not on TV here.

If someone is willing to let me use your account for this afternoon, I'd be happy to send somethin your way to thank you. Obviously the Detroit/Chicago game today can't be blacked out for you too :lol:

PM me if you might be able to help me out. Thanks in advance.

MLB.tv uses your IP to determine blackouts - not the account. You're gonna need to find a different way to watch it.

Yup. When I had MLB.tv last year, it became very obvious how it worked. My firm is based in Chicago, so my internet IP address runs through Chicago, even though I'm in Tampa. I could watch Rays (or any other team) I wanted while I was in the office, but not the Cubs or White Sox. At home, on my wireless internet with a Tampa IP, I could watch Cubs/Chisox/anyone else BUT the Rays.

I'm thinking pretty hard about subscribing, maybe I'll give it a month trial.

It is WELL worth the $$..I can absolutely guarantee that you will not regret purchasing so long as you dont have any weird IP issues as some of the posters above. I would not know what to do with myself during baseball season without MLB.tv.

Watching as I type this!

MLB.tv thru your PS3 works near flawlessly and is piped to your HDTV in high definition!

I can't stop watching.

Archives, dude!

Good news is that the archive delay has been reduced from the next morning to now 90 min after the game ends (assuming MLBAM has no technical issues preparing the archives) so you can watch it not that long after it ends.
