I will definitely report. My experiment so far has been tough to call, because the demo won't let you maximize the screen. Looking at the web page on the TV looked good. Given the bandwidth they are talking about, in theory it should look just like a normal TV broadcast.Jocephus wrote:i think we are gonna find out via jimrobbotis wrote:How's the picture quality when your run it through your TV?
MLB TV Regular or Premium?

From what I can tell, it definitely looks better than last year, but not leaps and bounds better.
The mosaic feature will be nice if you can quickly switch between games, but I've never liked even that Picture in Picture (PIP) feature on television sets. I don't even like all those news tickers you get, unless I"m trying to find out quickly the score of a game.

If you're on a Mac, you can download the Flip4Mac plugin from Microsoft, and there's a preference you set to have it launch the WMV file outside the browser in a Quicktime window. Then you can view it full screen.
I have to say it didn't impress me much full screen. I've downloaded tv shows that were of similar quality and while okay on the computer, they didn't look very good on my TV. I don't know if that's because it's a high def TV or what.

Have they done ANYTHING with the blackout restrictions yet?
I know they were discussing this...but it really bothers me that I live 330 miles from Busch Stadium (actually, the Pine Street Parking Garage...so probably like...330.4 miles or something) and I'm "blacked out" from getting the Cards on MLB.TV...we don't get FSMW, we get Comcast and WGN..
Black me out of the damn Cubs games, thats fine...but I haven't gotten FSMW my whole life...why the crap should I be blacked out?
As you can see I'm really bitter about this..and not only that...but don't they WANT my money? If I wasn't blacked out I would sign up for MLB.TV in a second..

Does that mean you can watch one game at a time, but instantly switch between games?whyhellothere wrote:I used the mosiac thing last year and it was kinda cool as during the Cardinals commericals you could easily go select another game if you want or watch 5 others at the same time. When your in a pennant race down the stretch and want to check up on other games, it comes in handy.

This is truly a matter of life and life barely worth living for any die hard baseball fan like myself. I have resigned myself to buy the MLB.TV Premium package.
My only bone with this is that the Fox Sports Saturday Telecasts will be blacked out due to fox sports. Does anyone remember the old post from Card Talk that someone posted about how to get around the Blackout? I believe it had something to do with changing your server or something
