MLB.TV

We signed up for the premium subscription last weekend and have been watching the Red Sox for the past few nights by plugging a computer into the TV.  So far, so good.  The picture's a little jumpy sometimes, and it's a pain not to be able to use a remote, and the game seems to quit on us at least once each night and needs to be started over.   All the same, the HD feed is pretty darned good on the whole, and it's great to be able to choose between NESN or the other team's broadcast (you know which one Dad likes better) or even the radio, and we were able to watch the archived version of a blacked-out game the other night.  Also, the Red Sox are considerably more gratifying to watch than I would have suspected after all of last fall's mayhem.  So, I guess it's another season of hope and frustration and aggravation and gratification and who knows what else.  To solve the remote problem, we have ordered a Roku 3, which should get here in a week or so.  Slowly but surely, the Murphies are dragged into the 21st century . . .

The Roku is the best! We are watching the baseball game right now on MLB.tv on the Roku.

Prepare yourself for a few minor disappointments with the mlbtv Roku app. You can still choose the home or away feed but cannot listen to the radio feed or to just crowd noise. There are a few other small things but its still a very pleasant experience.

Oh, you can listen to the radio broadcast of the game, just not overlay it with the video feeds.
