mlbtv premium question

jim · Post by **jim** » March 18 07, 9:22 am

I just signed up for mlbtv premium and noticed all of the games today are 350K. Is that because it's ST? Will all the games be 700K during the regular season?

edit - another question. When I login it and go to the video/audio, it's still trying to sell me the package. I can click and go to current subscribers and it's fine, but is that the way they have this thing designed so that you have to do that?

The 350K video feed is just so-so. I wouldn't want to project that on a big screen TV. I'm hoping the quality of the 700 is good enough.

Hi Jim,
It does seem that all of the ST games are all in 350K. The 750K should be good on your Big Screen depending on the video card in your PC.

If you use this URL http://mlb.mlb.com/mediacenter/index.jsp you should be able to go directly to the Media Guide.
hope this helps

Thanks russ. I'm wondering about the brightness, it seems dark and I can't find a way to turn it up. I could fool around with my monitor, but then everything else would be off.

I don't have the premium service, but it is darker than last year.

I admit that I am impatient with things, especially software. But this interface stinks. Here are the following things that either you can't do and should be able to for $120, or I couldn't find them. Maybe I'm just an idiot, or to impatient, but it should be more obvious.

1. Pause/rewind a game in progress. Like Tevo.
2. Be able to find the game and replay it when it's over. I know it will eventually be there, I know I can look at yesterdays game, but I want to see TODAY's game right NOW.
3. They link you to the press pass and tell you it's free once you have registered. Haven't I registered? What's with that?
4. The picture is too dark. I hope that is corrected.

Maybe I'll figure these things out, or maybe someone can enlighten me, or maybe that's just the way it is in which case it's not worth $120.

I haven't even SEEN a Cards game on the tv option so far. All I've seen is the radio. Is that right?

Just click on the Spring Training tab. There have been about five televised on MLBtv so far.

Let us know how the picture is through the TV at the full speed. I am interested in the quality.

I'll let you know if I still have it. I'll tell you that the MLB audio that comes with the package is a piece of junk too. Breaks in and out constantly, and it's not my network.

I'm THIS close to cancelling the thing.

Another question....

I don't see how to do this mosaic thing. Should I keep looking or is it not available until the season starts?
