I had problems with it too

But it wasn't the video feed, it was the audio (with Silverlight and the new plug-in). There was major static-- it was so loud and irritating, I couldn't stand to listen to it. Anyone else have the same problem?

And the new sites suck ass and they are VERY SLOW

I hate trying to scroll through the news on the new MLB sites.

Put Kendry Morales at 1B, and move Sean Rodriguez to 3B......NOW LETS GO WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i couldn't get video or audio

i downloaded silverlight and still got nothing. if today was supposed to be the day to get me to try it out for free in hopes that i'd shell out 90 bucks for the season, they've done a pretty lousy job...

Boycot MLB.TV

Until we can see all 162 games.

I couldn't get the 1.2mb feed to work

for the Braves Indians game yesterday, although the 800mb feed did work. I kept getting a silverlight error on the 1.2mb feed. Boycotting mlb.tv isn't an option for me as it's the only way I get to see games, plus I think it's good value, especially as for the same price as last year we're getting a better quality feed (if it works that is)

I couldn't get this feed to work for the final spring game on Saturday

The 800mb came in fine, but not this Next-Def stuff which is kinda disappointing. I ordered MLB.TV premium because I'd rather be able to watch games from where ever I am, not just from at home. I was so excited that I could hook up my laptop to my HDTV for an "HD" experience, but was pissed when I couldn't get that feed. Hopefully this is all just first week bugs and it is all fixed for Opening Day.

You guys in California really do live in heaven, the Angels are in town for more than just six games and there is Jack in the Box within 200 miles.

Suggestions

Silverlight is not really compatible with Flash, which causes all kinds of problems. (Do a google search on people bitching about that.) I had your problem, plus the sound didn't work. My wife, a computer whiz, took an hour to clean it up. Her various tips:

* Make sure the sound goes through the default Microsoft sound, and not Total Recorder.
* Uninstall & reinstall whatever latest version of Flash you have, making sure you have no other windows open at the time.
* Perform a "clean up registry" function, just to get the computer working.

FWIW, I use the 400 mb feed for best results.
