SilverBullet Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Weird that they didnt do that quirky thing where they don't televise the games against the Rays but we get to watch the Rays broadcast instead. That was always a way to add a couple extra games to the schedule while not saying we aired them. Also does that Clubhouse show mean Billy's Bunch is gone? Not that I care but its what came to mind when I read about the new youth oriented show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossInfoMan Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Almost all of the games not being televised are weekday afternoon games, some of which could be shown on MLB Network if the opponent is televising. Also, the July 3rd game against the Cubs will be shown nationally on ESPN2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AeroFishOne Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 I've had it since 2009. Last year was god awful. This year I'm just getting extra innings on direct tv and getting MLB TV for free with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverBullet Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Thought this was of note, from the Herald... "In all, 154 of 162 Marlins games will be televised. Of the eight that aren’t on TV, all are on weekday afternoons except a Thursday night 10 p.m. game in San Diego on July 23." Good to hear because I hate working a long day, coming home and thinking "Man I need to watch the game tonight" just to find that it isn't televised.

JackRubysDog Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 MLB.TV works fine if you have decent bandwidth, but is shit if you can only manage 2-3Mbs, which is standard here in the UK. The main problem was that the shitting Flash-based player always tried to connect to the best stream possible. It did this by downloading the stream and then playing it at the max rate ... and then freezing and restarting because it couldn't maintain the stream. It would loop over and over and over and over again ... sometimes as long as 20 minutes before connecting at the correct stream. I think it was June before I saw one of Henderson's first pitches. Then, when the ads came on, the stream would disconnect and you'd have to go through the whole looping thing again. A group of us did some digging and found that the ad stream came down in a different, Hi-res stream separate from the game stream - which carried on underneath the ad stream. So, you'd be watching the 1.8Mb stream, and then a 1.8Mb ad stream would start, so suddenly your internet was streaming 3.6Mb, which you wouldn't have the bandwidth for, so the stream would disconnect. Then some guy found the solution - install ad-block which blocked the ad stream! It worked!! We went on the MLB.TV forum and told everyone who was having problems the great news ... and MLB.TV banned us all from the forums. I'm still banned, ten months later. They say they've rolled out a "new" player. It better be HTML5 based and not Flash. Who the fuck uses Flash these days? Gonna have a peep at Yankees v Phils but I bet it's as shit as ever.

canada-marlin24 Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Irrelevant with mlb.tv what do you live in Canada or something? Watch your mouth! lol I had the same thing in Montreal so the blackouts really didn't apply. But I think you can add the two Rays telecasts which should bring the number to 156. The only incredibly annoying thing is having to watch SNY Mets broadcasts for games agains the Mets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was the program you used Ad Block plus? If so that is a great program and it blocks out a ton of ads along with those coming in from youtube.

What issues did u have last year? Mine was perfect Yeah I'm curious too. I had maybe 1-2 hours total downtime, and I watch over 200 games a season. Whenever I had an issue, it was either because I had downloads going, comcast fucking me, or my kid would punch the router. The buffering was terrible, short but frequent.I was getting 17 download speed all year, same as previous years. I was streaming from Xbox one instead of 360 so unless that had something to do with it I don't know. But with that said the ipad wasn't that much better. i remember quite a few times guys in game day forum said they were having problems too. I didn't think it was just me.
