There is also satellite radio, which really just rebroadcasts the local radio coverage. However it can be had for a pretty good price and you get other programming as well as NHL hockey. Reply
I love baseball. I grew up in the Boston area but now live out of the local NESN market. MLB.TV has allowed me to not onky watch my beloved Red Sox, but the Cubs. Although MLB.TV worked well on my LG UF7600 TV in 2016 and 2017, it has failed to work at the beginning of the season (opening day!). It took about three weeks to resolve the issue. MLB.TV had me on the phone several times during this time. On opening day, I spent three hours on the telephone with MLB.TV customer support. I had to do shut off the television and turn it back on; shut off the Wi-Fi and turn it back on; chanhe DNS several times; delete and reinstall the MLB.TV app several times, etc. Nothing worked! I emailed MLB.TV about the problem and a rep called me back within a week. She explained that LG devices were not working with MLB.TV this season (2018) due to a communication error. It was explained to me as “an LG problem.” The streaming service was finally working. I asked for a credit and was told MLBT.V does not credit customer accounts for such technical issues. On July 12, 2018, MLB.TV updated its software again and I am now shut out of all baseball. Again. Several phone calls to MLB.TV result in frustration. Nothing can be done. It’s my LG television set, not MLB.TV. Again, no credit to the customer’s account. Has anyone else experienced this issue? I just want the streaming service to work. Reply
Hi Ninamary, I am a die-hard Cubs fan and I have had the same problems trying to watch from my vacation home in the White Mountains of AZ. We have a LG TV also. We were able to stream on the MLB.TV app using the Amazon Fire Stick with no trouble at all in 2017. It has never worked in 2018. I worked around the issue by connecting my laptop to the TV with an HDMI cable. However, this is not ideal. I have found other forums where the users complained about Fire Stick, but I haven’t heard anything about the LG TV being a problem. I don’t really understand how that could be. It is very frustrating. Reply
I am a DISH customer and cannot watch FOX Sports North and the Minnesota Twins because of a contract dispute that’s been going on since mid-season last year. Trying to figure out an alternative method to watch games? Reply
I am also looking, to watch St. Louis Cardinals on Fox Sports Midwest, because Dish no longer has this channel… Anyone??? Reply
If you have Amazon Prime MLB TV has 2 options; 1) all team pass $24.99/month or 2) ONE team pass $49.99/year Reply
I wish someone would come out with a website where I could go and click on what teams I am interested in. Brewers, Cubs, Whitesox, click click click. Then what networks I have access Fox, TBS, Youtube game of the week. Click, click, click. Now show me a monthly calendar of what is available, what time and who are they playing. I love baseball but realistically only have time to watch a few games a month and as a cord cutter it is like looking for a needle in a haystack to find what games are out there for free. Reply
