getting the GameDay audio but not the TV
― Literal Facepalms (Dr Morbius), Saturday, 10 March 2012 20:30 (twelve years ago) link
I think I got auto-renewed for Gameday Audio -- I fucking hate opt-outs that should be opt-ins.

same thing today, the video doesn't come on, not even the archives I was able to watch (w/ constant freezing) a few days ago.
― Literal Facepalms (Dr Morbius), Sunday, 11 March 2012 18:14 (twelve years ago) link
so i finally called into DirecTV to see if i can get a discount on MLB Extra Innings for this year. they gave me $10 off per month for six months again this year. i will be paying $150 for it this year.
happy happy joy joy

both this and NBA League Pass are the most incredible things. if I was born fifteen years later and recieved this for my birthday I'd probably cry

after all the warnings everyone gave me last year about mlb.tv being sneaky about auto-renewing you without asking...it didn't auto-renew me. which means i missed out on the $20 discount so maybe it's even sneakier than i thought.

was thinking about holding off this year but the ability to watch games on my phone is pretty enticing

Wow, that's great!
What is it?
― improvised explosive advice (WmC), Thursday, 5 April 2012 02:44 (eleven years ago) link
Strike Zone existed years ago, but not during the last couple seasons...right?
― Andy K, Thursday, 5 April 2012 02:49 (eleven years ago) link
seems like nfl redzone right?
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 5 April 2012 02:50 (eleven years ago) link
it's MLB version of the Red Zone Channel, live look into games where there is something happening. DirecTV had this back in 2007 and 2008 (iirc) and was dropped when MLB Network came on the air.
there is a rumor that DirecTV will add it this year as well.
― Bee OK, Thursday, 5 April 2012 02:51 (eleven years ago) link
I looked for Strike Zone but didn't find it, but did find this:
http://www.federalbaseball.com/2012/4/5/2927330/introducing-full-count-from-yahoo-sports-and-mlb-com
Did anyone use this yesterday?
― polyphonic, Monday, 9 April 2012 17:17 (eleven years ago) link
Strike Zone, when it existed a few years ago, seemed redundant. You can already see most/all of the games on the EI home channel and click into them -- you don't need an anchor or whatever to tell you what is happening.
― Andy K, Monday, 9 April 2012 17:22 (eleven years ago) link
What is the EI home channel?
― polyphonic, Monday, 9 April 2012 17:32 (eleven years ago) link
Extra Innings has a "home channel" where the screen is split into eight telecasts. The default audio comes from the top-left telecast, but you can move around to hear the other telecasts and select a channel/game from there.
― Andy K, Monday, 9 April 2012 17:57 (eleven years ago) link
Apologies for the confusion -- didn't realize that THIS new Strike Zone is the work of MLB Network, not Extra Innings.
― Andy K, Monday, 9 April 2012 17:59 (eleven years ago) link
Oh right. That's pretty nice. But I don't have Extra Innings, so a cheaper RedZone -alike would be great, even if it's only a few days a week.
― polyphonic, Monday, 9 April 2012 18:03 (eleven years ago) link
So this has to differ from MLB Tonight, right? It would be great it was similar to their daily anchor/analyst-free highlight segments.
― Andy K, Monday, 9 April 2012 18:06 (eleven years ago) link
YEAH, Strike Zone it has just been added to DirecTV, commercial free:
Per Channel 719. "MLB Network Strike Zone HD. Tuesday & Friday nights. Available with MLB Extra Innings and/or Sports Pack."
― Bee OK, Tuesday, 10 April 2012 02:15 (eleven years ago) link
so i just got home from work, turning on the Strike Zone channel now.
anyone watch this yet today, how is it?
― Bee OK, Wednesday, 11 April 2012 01:54 (eleven years ago) link
so i have been watching a bit of this. they seem to go away from games a little too fast for my liking. maybe i just like watching innings and how they build instead of this instant stuff.
― Bee OK, Wednesday, 11 April 2012 02:51 (eleven years ago) link

so i was looking forward to the Phillies vs Giants game tonight as it was Lee vs Cain.
--------------i see right now in the 10th 0-0.--playing the Lakers game instead because i can't watch.
i wrote this on someplace else:
i looked in the on air guide and saw that tomorrows game (which is now today) is going to be broadcast on MLB Extra Innings channel 747. i get home from work and see that "Phillies vs. Giants" is gone on channel 747 and only "To Be Announced" is displayed instead. so i'm pissed and i call in. spent over a half an hour on the phone they transferred me to the technical dept and they told me yes it is suppose to be on. the tech tries a bunch of different things tell me that he has escalated this and to keep watching and it will be on shortly. i'm so mad, this was Lee vs. Cain tonight.

i just got my renewal notice from DirecTV for the 2013 season:
You are all set to enjoy another exciting season of MLB EXTRA INNINGS. We are renewing you at the lowest price of 6 payments of $33.33/month...
total price for this year is $199.98, so it actually went down $ this year.
i will tell you how it goes when i call DirecTV and try to get a discount again this year.
― Bee OK, Tuesday, 5 February 2013 03:07 (eleven years ago) link
it went down 9.96 this year, number lock became unlocked.
Split mlb.tv with my father, this is pretty awesome. The stream to my Roku looks every bit as good as via cable.Comes with the Extra Innings app - that means I can stream all the radio broadcasts (except for local), right?
― Kiarostami bag (milo z), Wednesday, 27 March 2013 05:54 (eleven years ago) link
er, At Bat app
― Kiarostami bag (milo z), Wednesday, 27 March 2013 05:55 (eleven years ago) link
I think you can even stream local audio. Blackouts only apply for TV broadcasts, iirc? Pretty sure I listened to a Jays game or two last year via that app.
― Samsung Galaxy SB (Will M.), Wednesday, 27 March 2013 13:46 (eleven years ago) link
Yeah, local audio isn't blocked, just tv. I listened to a lot of Braves games when my cable co couldn't figure how to flip a switch on Peachtree TV days.
― The Complete Afterbirth of the Cool (WilliamC), Wednesday, 27 March 2013 13:50 (eleven years ago) link
just got off the phone with DirecTV, they gave me $5 off per month for a year. so getting a discount of $60 off again this year, which means i'm paying around $140 for Extra Innings this year.

vpn for $7/month or $40/year is getting me around blackouts on mlb.tv (and nhl games) -- though only on my computer, i think, because the mlb ipad app demands that you allow it location access
― mookieproof, Thursday, 4 April 2013 01:23 (ten years ago) link
You can set some routers to run through PIA's servers, which would let you get around blackouts on TV and on your iPad. The modem/router I have to have for my Time Warner Cable plan won't let me monkey with IP addresses, unfortunately. I don't lose too much - I'm more interested in Giants/Red Sox games than the Rangers or lolAstros.

just got a Genie, repost for myself:
If you do a smart search and key in AALL HDTV GIANTS CCHAN 696 then press the red button to do the keyword search and choose Show Types and then Events, it should catch only the Giants live games on CSN BAY AREA. If you do an autorecord, you can specify extra time to add to the end of the recording.
