When the heck is the new player going to be availible anyone know? I cant find a schedule for the spring training games anywhere (link anyone?). Are they going to have any of the Cubs spring training games? I signed up for premium for the upcoming season. I have a 20mbps cable connection and a beefy desktop so I'm really looking forward to trying the new player. New monitor gets here tomorrow.

what do you need to actually run a smooth HD stream off of MlbTV?

 

i am looking forward to the dvr option, for when i have to pee during the bottom of the ninth

 

 

You need a program from mlb.com called nexdev but its not even availible yet. They arent making it availible untill they release the new player I guess. You can find system reqs here: http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/help/faq_system_requirements.jsp

The links to the dowload center will just refresh the page though untill they release the new stuff.

The new player is available, but only for "select" spring training games so I can't see what it's all about yet. Apparently, last nights China-Japan WBC game was on the new player and people were raving about the picture quality. If it's really close to HD as advertised, I'll be ecstatic.

How does this work? Can I watch games on multiple computers if I subscribe (one at a time I mean)?

Yes. The other computers are subject to the blackout restrictions of the area, but all you need's your username and password to watch.

So I have a Mac and I just subscribed for the year on MLBTV Premium, what do I all need to download to be able to get the new player/see the games in the highest quality?

I think just go to the "download center" on mlb.com. Download the latest version of flash player and the "nex def" plugin. I believe that's all that's needed.

Oh, I have it still from last year so I don't know. I'll probably need to download the new one too since they've apparently modified it.

The US vs Canada game is using the new player if anyone wants to check it out. Im running at full quality and it looks great, the camera shots that show large portions of the field at once can get a little blurry, but for the most part the quality is great, can actually run it in full screen and it looks good. I have a very beefy connection and computer though so your results may vary. I went through a rough patch earlier in the game where quality was droping to like 2 bars and it looked like crap but the last couple innings have been good.

I have a patchy high speed connection (2000-3000 kb/s) and still had amazing picture quality compared to last year. Stunning picture quality... though I've watched games almost exclusively on MLB.TV for the past 3 years and I'm not used to regular television let alone HDTV!

When watched on windowed mode if you had the highest quality it was an HD quality picture. Pretty kool really. Im looking forward to the season and being able to watch multiple games at once on the same screen.

Since the new player isn't out yet, you will need flip-4-mac I believe to view the ST games on the old player. I think there is also a way to watch it using Quicktime (that used to be the only way to watch it on mac) but I'm not sure how to do that.

The picture at full quality is amazing. It will stream at full quality for about 10 min. for me, then it gets worse until it eventually freezes up. After I open it in a new window, it returns to full quality then does the same thing after another 10. I'm not sure if it's a problem on my end or theirs.
