Apple tv again?

[CRF]

Sure seems like we're on this Apple tv more than we should be. Like every other Friday. Why is that?

I've posted this many times so if it's getting repetitive, this will be the last time.

You can go to BestBuy.com and search for Apple TV. Put the 3 month free trial in your cart and checkout. You will get an email detailing how to get this on your TV. At this point it will get you through the season. If you forget to cancel it is like $7 a month, so not a big deal. 

Since there are 162 games a year, for a change of pace I've enjoyed the unique visual style of these broadcasts if not the commentary as much. 

I just checked and this is still available for new or returning subscribers.

You can do it!!!

Because Apple broadcasts 2-3 games every Friday.

MLB should make it easier to watch games. I have a buddy who is a Dodger fan and pays MLB but gets blacked out once a week, and oddly enough here in Iowa whenever the Twins are on Fox, our Fox always shows the national game. I miss every game on Fox, and every game on Apple. I think tonight will be the 6th game this year I can't watch easily. I am willing to pay, but there is no single one I can pay to watch every game, even MLB. You need Bally, you need to live in the Twin Cities TV market, and you need to pay Apple. There should be one service you can sign up for and get every game.

I'll just listen to Cory and Dazzle. I don't want to get Apple TV, even if it means watching the games. I just was wondering why we seem to be on there so much.

I have not been able to watch any games on Apple TV the last two years, I have an account and don't know my password.  Every time they play on apple I try to get the game and spend an hour getting nowhere, I never receive the password reset email,  F^#$ Apple TV games especially after an off day and before the All Star break, I am going to have a severe case of Twins withdrawal over the next week,

To make me mad.  Its working.

Frankly, I just wish their broadcasts were better. the production values are quality, but the announcing team is mediocre and superficial.

I'm grilling brats tonight and taking advantage of a rare chance to watch the game on TV. If you want to watch the game bring something to share.

You expecting a lunch rush? I’m hungry now and brats sound pretty good!

I’m not sure how, but I seem to get it for free. I don’t subscribe to Apple TV but I’ve been able to watch.

MLB is probably getting to expand the brand and reach a younger demographic. Meanwhile they are angering long time fans. Oh and maybe money. The NFL is all over the place now as well.

I don't know, but Apple is better than Peacock, at least for me.  I saw only 3 innings of the last game on Peacock.  I rebooted many times and did system restarts.  I sure as hell didn't sign up for these networks when I subscribed to a season of MLB.

When I subscribed to MLB.tv, the ad said, 

Stream EVERY out-of-market game LIVE or on demand.

Apparently that was a lie.  A lie so true they decided to capitalize it.

There is the option of buying tickets and attending in person today. Should be a terrific night for a ballgame.

I'll have to settle for the Duluth Huskies

I think this is an interesting topic moving forward as this is very anti-consumer. We have had games this year on Bally, ESPN, Apple, and Peacock. I don't live in MN anymore so I have to purchase MLB.TV, and I've had quite a few games this year where it's blacked out due to Apple and Peacock. I think everyone accepts when they want to watch sports that they need to buy cable to get the channel to watch there team on. Ensuring you have four different channels with two of them being exclusive streamers is very overboard by MLB.

I hope you’re all voicing your dissatisfaction to MLB directly; you’re probably not going to influence much here. Tell them what you want. It’s your best chance for getting it. Which is admittedly pretty slim, but still non-zero.

I did not know this. I did it and it worked in less than 5 min.
Thanks so much.

I live in a blacked out market so I stream through sportsurge.net as it's free and legal. Most stream links work just fine once you get through the pop ups
