    MLB.TV online ****** sucks!
    80% of the time the game wont even come up, when it does its fukin choppy and shit

    Paid 20 bucks to try it out for a month and after less than a week I am already ready to cancel, hard to believe they have any customers longer than a month with this trash

      Yeah, I rarely have trouble with it. Check your connection and computer out before trashing the feed.

        Most likely you have something lagging your computer. Not enough RAM, to many programs running, virus, etc etc etc.

                For you it probably is

                Its also 20 bucks A MONTH, not a one-time fee (although for me its one-time since Im cancelling), one-time fee for the season I would expect it to be complete garbage but 20 bucks for every month of the season and its complete garbage is a fukin joke

                    Maybe you need some "superfast internet" or something who knows, I just buy the bottom package of high-speed, maybe you guys buy the upper tiers, still pretty unreal that it cant even stream the low resolution games when Im able to watch youtube in good resolution without problems but oh well

                    I also agree with you that they "blackout" the games in your area which are in all likelihood the games you want to watch, makes no sense

                      What did you upgrade to? Premier (that is what I have) from Preferred? Or are you emptying your pockets on the Ultimate?

                        I agree they suck. I have a year contract and not going to renew next year. MLBtv sucks, must of the time games get frozen and even on the tv i'ts worst and I have a good internet speed.

                              I got no idea what your talking about, either your computer is slow, your internet is slow, or you are trying to run so many programs. I get it in HD quality, and actually it comes through 5 seconds faster then my cable.
                              Its great for me.

                                I love it. Been using it for years, including the last 2 watching on my PS3. I have never had issues. Something is wrong on your end.

                                          Or maybe if you are using wireless, plug your pc or laptop right into the router. That could help.
                                          Yeah i get that blackout in your area but since when is San Francisco near Vegas.

                                                        mlb.tv is actually decent but $20 a month for an online service like that is a lot. Should be like $12.99 tops a month

                                                          The only problems I've experienced are when I stream thru the PS3. It's glitchy at times. Streams perfectly on my iPad and computer though.

                                                          Sounds to me like it's your internet connection. Go to speedtest.net and test your download speed.

                                                            My two cents- That's why I paid a bit more for the on demand extra innings package for my HDTV. You can DVR the whole game, or pause it and come back later, or watch 4 games at once.

                                                              They automatically upgraded me in February w/o me knowing.
                                                              They sent an e-mail, but since I barely checked that, I got it renewed.

                                                              I didn't find out till late March when I checked my CC statement that it happened.
                                                              At that point, I decided to cancel my cable with Comcast and watch baseball on the internet.
                                                              My cable bill went from $110 to $180 because they added a few HD channels to the basic service.

                                                              On the internet, it can get choppy.
                                                              The DVR function doesn't work until after the game is over.

                                                              Worst thing is the blackouts.
                                                              In New Mexico, Rockies and Diamondbacks are blacked-out.

                                                              Next year, I might go back to cable.
