I have been blacked out on the same 2 channels all week. The channels correspond to games 7 and 8 on the Extra Innings schedule. None of the games blacked out involved my in market teams. (The in market teams games are also blacked out.) I've called MLB 3 nights in a row and they have not fixed the issue. This 3rd night they are now blaming my cable provider. Obviously, the cable company has no control over the content being transmitted by MLB, not to mention that the blackout notice is coming in quite clearly on these 2 channels. My guess is that my local market teams were on these channels sometime back and MLB has a glitch in their system that did not remove the blackout on these channels the next day. The problem is that MLB is denying the issue exists or is blaming cable; so I will spend the rest of the season not able to view games 7 and 8 regardless of who is playing on those channels. I have been a customer of MLB for double digit years and am surprised by their complete lack of caring for the devoted fan who is clearly getting screwed by this tech issue and their refusal to correct it. If you're thinking of buying any of their packages, think twice or plan on spending hours on the phone with someone from India or Pakistan who has been given no tools with which to help you.

Games keep getting disrupted from coming back from commercial breaks late. This had been a sporadic problem in the past, and is getting worse. Additionally, you PAY for this app, and have this happen is disappointing. BTW, the commentary could be a little less personal. I know that there needs to be filler, but honestly, got really tired of hearing what a great time Tom McCarthy is going to have in London, while the rest of us have to work, or can't afford the luxury of flying to London. Kruk also gets way too personal, which is ashame, since he knows the game well, and could do a good job but chooses not to. After many, many seasons of watching MLB, and being a loyal Phillies fan, I'm thinking this just isn't worth it, and getting my Phillies fix elsewhere (unfortunately, I don't live in Philadelphia).

Hands down the worst app on my TV. I love baseball and follow two teams closely, and not a day — or game — goes by that this app doesn’t freeze, usually more then once. It is then impossible to get out of unless I literally unplug my television, wait 60 seconds, then plug it back in and restart the app. I am thrilled when one of my teams is on literally any other streaming service (Apple TV), Fox, or ESPN. They rarely if ever have this problem.

For me I have several issues. The app does not play nice with airplay from an iPhone and will cut out at random times during the games. Not just cut out on the Smart TV but an entire overhaul on the app as well. You cannot skip commercials even on archived or delayed games. On the browser the game will be live, delayed, or archived and just randomly start from the beginning. Even if you are not in the blackout broadcasting area it will blackout games. At the end of a local commercial break watching live, to fill dead space they will play their own add that then plays over the game. I sometimes miss an entire at bat because of this. Just absolutely terrible.

This is my second season with this service, and what a drop off it is from last year! Gone is the true freedom of choosing which feed to watch (between home and away). Because MLBTV now inserts horrendous (and easy to spot) CGI ads on away feeds, it's as if the service is trying to force people to "always watch the home team" and not the teams they actually want to see! I follow multiple teams (in addition to my main), and these fake ads do rob you of the full experience of watching your teams play. Don't know why MLB is screwing over their fans and actually devaluing their own package with these garbage overlays. Just let the real ads run! I like that you do get to watch games on archives, but the fake stuff really needs to go.

I paid $149 for MLB extra innings. I am a Red Sox fan who lives in Delaware. All the games against the Orioles, Nationals and Phillies are blacked out. MASN, who provides Orioles and Nationals games charges for their services, when they were free last year. That means I miss over 20 games a year. Also, MLB extra innings puts games on other networks when they feel like it, which would also cost me extra. They are a monopoly that charges full price and refuses to offer adequate services. At the very least, they should stop making subscribers pay to watch non blackout games on other stations and making them pay more money. They do not provide adequate service for the money and should not be allowed to farm out non blackout games to services like apple plus TV. t

About all orioles games are blocked now. I read that my area only bucs games are blocked and I'm ok with that. But I'm an orioles fan that lives an hour and a half away from Baltimore w t f

The game itself is fine, most of the time (though it’s annoying when they arbitrarily cut out the 7th inning stretch), but the same ads and highlights (there must be more available than the same 6 players) every day is very tiresome!
