MLB TV.com

Anyone else have this online....MLBTV.com

Had the normal version last 3 years and got the premium this year because I knew I would be doing more fantasy leagues and betting. Got it just to watch Redsox games ( cant have a dish on my high-rise roof) which has been great, but MOSAIC is horrible......keeps shutting off and on and picture quality poor.

anyone else have? Have good or bad experiences?

I havent had any problems today. You have to realize that Mosaic is a BETA Version. They are still developing the program. You can still watch games standardly. This is my 2nd year using MLB online. 2 years ago I never had any troubles. Last year I had Extra Innings on the tube so I never got to use it. This year Im back to online cause I dont have the same roomates I had last year to chip in for Extra Innings.

since there were 4-6 games going on early today I was excited for Mosaic but was disapointed by how many times it kept losing connections....also the score, man on base, out stamp was behind the action unless you watched it on the regular version.

hope it improves over the year but they have been hyping this up so much that I thought all the bugs would be out. Also, tried to load my fantasy players into the system and it didnt let me...

oh well, its only day 1 so Ill keep trying it!

nope....it works best if you have one game on your normal MLBTV.com and then launch the mosaic and watch one game on the larger screen shot (kind of like a split screen)....if you do the 6 game screen shot it constantly stop and re-loads

doing this now with the Angels on one side of my computer and the rockies on the other

Watching it now... only using 1 screen because, when Dice-K is on the mound, that's all you need! Picture quality looks good. So does Dice!

Just wondering, my cable company doesn't have a sports package (which is really gay) and i got this new Big Screen HDTV and i want to watch the baseball games. Is there anyway to order MLB.TV and somehow hook my computer up to the TV like a screen ... that way i dont have to sit in front of this 17" monitor and watch games?

If it works well with just one game at a time .It sounds like it could be your bandwith ..Not that you have a bad or a slow connection my guess would be that you have a to much info coming into your comp at once ..Kind of like a bottle neck .
Have you tried email MLB and asking then if they have any other issues with this?? Sounds like it could be cool to watch with 4 games going on at once .

Hey Pizza yea there is ..I do it all the time ..
The problem is you might need to upgrade your comp
First thing you need to know is what type of Graphics Card you have ??

Just google something like Connect PC to Tv.
There are tons of sites that give you step by step insturction on what you need and how to do it ..
It is actually very simple the problem is that you need to have a good graphics card.

i dont think i have a video card ... let me know what would be good to buy ... looking not to spend that much, but this will come in handy during football season as well ... hopefully i can get this done around $100-$200
