Fox, etc. own national broadcast rights, so the games are all blacked out on MLB.tv in the postseason.

 

IIRC there is some functionality still. You can watch the games live from various cameras of your choice, but there is no commentary and there are no graphics. It's just a video feed, no replays, mediocre quality. Not a terrible option if you can somehow get radio in your ears and synced up to the feed...

 

Should be easy enough to get around that since there are no blackouts outside Canada and the US.

I was under the impression that because of the blackout, MLB.tv just doesn't even carry playoff games. But you might be right, if we all ride our bikes to o2's house in Sveden we can probably log in and watch Kansas City sweep Toronto with lots of buntz and hitnruns.

I watched the playoffs live last year on MLB.TV and had no idea there was a blackout at all.

Nice.

 

Speaking of blackouts, did mlb.tv change their policy? I've been getting Jays games just fine and not having to bother with a VPN

Not according to the FAQ I just read. Should be blacked out here, not sure what's up. Maybe Rogers is being benevolent.

Just wondering why some of you guys just don't stream. I've streamed about 10-15 jays game this season through the MLBstreams subreddit and I've always found a HD link.

I think I read somewhere that Beeston asked MLB not to blackout any games. Not sure if that's the actual reason or not.

MLB.tv is great, every game all season, don't ever have to worry about finding a stream and you can watch on the go.

Yea the multiple devices anywhere quickly is just great. The best feature though is getting to watch the game using the alternate Fan590 audio feed (or opposing team's feeds). Watching the game with Jerry calling it is really awesome, that is until Wilner shows up for a couple innings.

 

 

FYI - Called MLB Support, they are complete tools and don't know anything. He assumes we get up to 30% off, 10% each. Not that I care about a couple bucks, it's the principal at this point, they will call me with a follow up later.

It's not MLB it's jointv.me.

I'm sure it will get fixed up.

Posted

They got back to me and said they are working with MLB to fix the issue. Said it will be a few days.

 

join.me and jointv.me are two different companies. Just saying.

 

Well they're going to get a nice email.

Just a reminder to those who signed up for this and don't want it auto renewed

 

Go to mlb.com, log-in, go to audio/video subscriptions and cancel auto-renewal subscription

 

(you can still watch the WS.)

Posted
Thanks for the reminder. As much as I enjoy it, I'll need to see if it's still blackout free next season before signing up again.

I signed up in May using a targeted offer for around 50 something for the whole season. Right now i'm not seeing the cancel auto renewal button. Here's what my audio/video subscriptions page says

 

Subscription Status
Your 2015 MLB.TV Premium Yearly subscription is active
Your MLB.TV Premium Yearly subscription will not automatically renew prior to the beginning of LIVE Spring Training games, on or about February 28, 2016 at the previous year's regular full yearly price
The regular full yearly price of 2015 MLB.TV Premium Yearly is $129.99
If you wish to cancel your subscription, click below

 

but i don't see a button

 

Anyone else having the same problem? Maybe i'll email CS and make sure that my subscription won't be renewing automatically, i've been burned before with MLB.TV for not remembering to cancel before the deadline

I won't have it for the first time since MLB.tv came on air. I have said I will only pay a certain amount for the year and it's now gone way past that. with the current exchange rate and the 25% tax EU put on all sports subscription packages from the states, it's just way past what I'm going to pay. a 26 percent swing in currency exchange and a 25% tax on top of it.... I'll have to hope there are good free streams all next year too.

 

It went from 839:- Crowns to 1580:- Crowns

 

from 129 dollars to 161.... that's what I paid for my trip to Rome.

If you really like the service is $40 really that much of a difference? Thats less than a 1 coffee a week at a coffee shop.

$40 for the tax added and then a 26% increase for currency difference on the whole amount. at the old currency exchange 1580:- would be $243 and I was paying $129. so for my pocketbook that's an 88% increase

 

so it's not just $40 and I really can't stand coffee. lol

I've been a subscriber since about 2005 I think and next year will be my first year without it at least from the start. I have another grey market subscription service where I get all sports for $10 a month and run it through a kodi add-on. Some things are in HD like NFL and EPL but most baseball games are in SD (which is still better than cable/satellite sd). I think I can live with that until at least May/June when they start adding rest of year packages for $50.
