If you have an Android phone or tablet, Chromecast works really well for MLB.tv and is only $40. If not, a streaming box like a Roku or Apple TV will do the trick. All of those devices use HDMI.

 

Yeah Roku seems the best bet but $99 is a stretch. If I could get stuff for like $40, I'd be all over it, but at that price its only USB stuff.

Why can't you just use a computer/laptop?

f*** it I'll just buy a new TV.

 

All those devices listed need a USB port or some wireless connection. I was hoping there would be an affordable device out there that could use HDMI cables. And there really is something up with the PS3/router, I've been trying to hook it up for awhile and its problematic.

 

Oh you mean to get the internet to it. Ethernet cable or wireless connection would needed to the device you are hooking up by HDMI to your TV.

I don't use laptops anymore and my workstation is far from the TV.

 

I just looked over that Roku stick and I assumed its USB. Its an HDMI stick.

 

guess Ill buy that.

Think we still need one more:

I think you agree to pay $9.99 but if everyone signs up you get it for $2.50.

And when you cancel you have to wait atleast five days or it will cancel your whole subscription and refund you for this year.

So wait a week and cancel so you don't get charged for next year.

Is $10 that expensive for you that you would go through all this extra trouble to save $2.50 for each person you get up to a max of $7.50?

 

I paid the full $129.99 US at beginning of season. I guess I'm a sucker

Why would we want to pay 75% more if we don't have to? That's a pretty stupid question. I just bought a new house. I was thinking of paying an extra $50k just because I can afford it, but thought what the heck, I'll just keep that money.

I love that I can pick Houston's feed instead of being stuck with the Yankees'. Michael Kay's voice is like nails on a chalkboard to me.

Most of us sign up anyway when the price drops down this low at the end of summer. Might as well hold hands while we do it and save a decent chunk of money, collectively. If 12 people sign up together the community saves $90. That's almost enough to send one guy to one playoff game, and then the other 11 can live vicariously through him.

 

Or, we could all have a pizza party (no suckers allowed).

Good deal. I just bought it for $10, running very nicely on my Samsung smart tv. Woot.

 

Just got a Samsung Smart TV a couple months ago myself. I originally bought a a 60" SHARP Aquos, but it had a lot of weird kinks and issues with it, so they replaced it with a Samsung. Quality is ridiculous, and I like the compatibility with apps like Netflix and MLB.TV.

 

My only major complaint is that the delay on MLB.TV is more pronounced when watching it on the TV. It drops from about 30 seconds on the PC, to about 2 minutes on the TV. That might have more to do with my wireless internet modem, but I don't know for sure.

Definitely the best TV I've ever owned, can do just about everything with it. Since I only just got MLB.tv, I haven't done enough tinkering around yet to really see about delays. I'll likely still just watch the Jays on Sportsnet since I don't mind Buck, so when I'm checking out message boards there won't be any worry about spoilers. I won't mind as much about the delay with other games, though. I'm just pumped about being able to watch any game I want. lol Especially at this point in the season.

Personally I love listening to them. Hearing the hope in their voice vanish as the game goes on is just too awesome to miss.

There's probably no limit on the group, he just needs at least 3 friends to get the deal. Maybe.

I'm trying "finish creating my group" and all it does is bring me to the same signup form as the link I posted and adds me to the group as a new user. Maybe if enough people buy I can just do it this way and be a new user. Who knows.

Try a different browser? I know some browsers have hiccups on weird f***ing sites. Firefox works better for me than Chrome on MLB's site.

Just got the MLB.tv app for my iphone... won't let me watch either of the games going on right now due to "Location error".

Do you have location services enabled on your phone?
