sf_soxfan Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Yep. Really choppy -- went to audio yesterday. Hopefully just early season kinks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chimpy2121 Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 I don't know if it's really an answer or not, but mlbtv Mosaic ran perfectly today for me as opposed to the normal mlbtv window. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hi8is Posted April 4, 2008 Author Share Posted April 4, 2008 im just gonna cancel my subscription and get it on my timewarner cable. 52 inches of hdtv sounds much better then streaming crapola from mlb at work. dvr + extra innings = the sex.

Do you have to pay for the whole year w/ timewarner (I'm too lazy to look)? I'm moving back to Chicago in late May so it really doesn't make sense for me to pay for the whole year. Also, does MLB.tv work internationally? In late July I'm going to China to work and I want to be able to at least catch a couple games.

BobDylan Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 MLB.tv hasn't worked for a single day for me yet. I've called them several times and all they've told me so far is that "it's a problem on our end," and, "e-mail our technicians, they'll get back to you within the day," (still waiting 2 days later) and "give me your phone number and we'll have a techinician call you back today," (and it's tomorrow). If I don't get any answers today when I call, I'm cancelling the service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamrock4Life Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 I would imagine it works overseas unless the Chinese government blocks it. Usually extra innings is billed in four cycles, so you should be able to get it then cancel it. but don't hold me to that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tuffers Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 There are a lot of problems this side of the pond, with many people also cancelling subscriptions. However mine still works. They keep adding and changing it every year, the product was fine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those you have to be in the market or your screwed I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 Xtra innings typically has every game with the exception to games you would be blacked out to (ie teams in your region and than any Fox National Games). There are ocassional exceptions but I'd say you get 90% or so of the Sox games. WCIU games are not carried (so you have to hope the road teams feed gets carried).

Chisoxfn Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 Season long is your only option. God damn it, I had mlb.tv last year and It auto renewed so I'm trying to cancel and I've been on hold for like a freaking hour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mac9001 Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 (edited) QUOTE(BamaDoc @ Apr 4, 2008 -> 01:58 PM) What does the pFX symbol on MLB gameday stand for? "The "Pitch-f/x" value is the measurement of the distance between the location of the actual pitch thrown over the plate, and the calculated location of a ball thrown by the pitcher in the same way, with no spin; this is the value MLB.com provided in Enhanced Gameday last season as "Break." Essentially it's the amount of vertical movement opposed to a ball with no spin. I believe a standard no spin pitch has about 30 inches of vertical fall. Thus when you get a pFX number of 10 it means 10 inches of rise opposed to a standard no spin pitch. Thus, the smaller the number the greater the sink. That's why curveballs have low pFX numbers, because they sink faster than a ball without spin. At least that's my understanding of the whole system.

hi8is Posted April 7, 2008 Author Share Posted April 7, 2008 (edited) still not able to watch games - anyone else having an error message today too - this is the error: " we are currently preforming maintenance operations. during this time, sections of the site will not be available. we apologize for any inconvenience this may cause." same thing ive been getting since day 2 of the season.
