Fox Sports Go - WTF?

[Otto von Ballpark]

Oh yeah -- I tried to start a new thread on the Sling development a few days ago, if you want to show it some love.

MLB.TV, baby!  You'd get everything but Twins-KC games.  Historically they drop by the price by 50% in May, if you can wait a month or so.

I was gonna get it but I found it hard to stomach $85 for a single team (we don't make very much $), I might wait until they drop it

A lot of people got free MLB.TV subscriptions through T-Mobile recently, and while that deal is expired, some have made their way into the resale market.  Here is a listing at eBay for $35, if you don't want to wait for the official price drop:

Interesting, is that legal?

I would bet not.

 

It seems unlikely that T-Mobile would buy the subscription for you.  I would think they would keep it in their own name to prevent that.

I will be experimenting with Sling TV.  Me and my wife currently watch Netflix on our Xbox One and Sling is also available, so I figure I can give it a try.  Will update when more is known. First glance seems promising though.

Transferring an account is possible, but also probably a violation of MLB's terms of service. I'd probably pass on buying one secondhand and wait for the official price drop, simply because I don't support a third party reselling a presumably free subscription for profit, but I thought I'd mention it in case you wanted it earlier/cheaper and had different ethical boundaries than me.

Do let us know how Sling works for you!  Feel free to use my other thread:

It certainly seems like Sling (and the more expensive Vue) might be the first major step in in-market baseball streaming...

Well so far it seems great. The Wild are on FSN tonight but it has the alternates so I can still watch the game. Will update.

Another update:

 

DISH Network has finally come to an agreement with Fox Sports, apparently.  They now appear among the supported providers on both the web site and app, so you can log in with DISH credentials and stream the Twins.

 

Also the Fox Sports Go site/app appears to have undergone a bit of a facelift.  Not sure if it added any features, but was a bit less clunky in my brief testing.

 

Comcast customer are still out of luck, however.

After the upgrade to the site last night, I got the Indians broadcast for some reason. Must have just been a glitch of some sort.

Some might consider a Dick & Bert alternative as an upgrade by itself.
