DODGERS The TWC/SPECTRUM NIGHTMARE Thread

I use an AppleTV. It works like a champ with unblock-us and mlb.TV.

The AppleTV setup was actually really easy, you just change the DNS settings on the AppleTV and you are good to go. I have a Roku on another TV, and the Roku I have doesn't let you change DNS settings, so I had to change the settings on my router for the Roku to work. Either way, those types of devices work.

 

AppleTV just runs apps which typically require their own logins (like Hulu, Netflix, mlb.TV, HBOGo, etc...). I don't use it for broadcast TV. For broadcast TV I have the most basic basic cable package that Cox gave me for free when I cancelled my cable service, but you might be able to just use an antenna. If an antenna doesn't work, your cable provider usually has a package for about $10/mo with the basic channels.

As far as mlb.TV goes, when you use unblock-us it sets your location as another country (which you can change). As long as your location isn't in the US or Canada, nothing is blacked out. So if the game is on ESPN, FOX, TNT, etc... it doesn't matter. You can watch all the games.

 

To stream the TBS FS1 MLBN and FOX games in the post season I think your account has to be authenticated by providing the username and password for your television provider.

 

You mean, you have to provide your cable username and password if using the TBS, FS1, MLBN, or FOX apps? Isn't that the case anytime you use those apps?

If you use the mlb.TV app as a non-US user, you shouldn't need a cable provider.

 

You are 100 percent right on the first part. Those free apps are a great alternative to those who don't have MLB.TV and want to watch the postseason on their mobile devices. All they need is their TV provider username and password (or someone else's if they're willing).

As for the second part...You don't need to put TV provider info for MLB.TV during the regular season but in the post season you might:
"Major League Baseball Advanced Media announced that it will stream select postseason games blackout-free, so you can watch live online or on your mobile device. You'll just need to complete a one-time authentication with your participating TV provider."

 

Can't believe this matter still hasn't been resolved. This would never happen if it were the Yankees, Red Sox or Cardinals networks. The fans wouldn't allow it.

 

Jail broken fire sticks work too

 

70 percent of LA can't see Seager either.

 

Because we need reminded once again that they are 1st class dickheads?




well why not? They have proven over the course of yet another year that they CARE NOTHING about Los Angeles or it's premier baseball team

 

MLB.TV and unlocator worked great for me, might have to get the adaptor so I can hook my laptop up to my TV though.

 

Before I got TWC, this worked great for me too.

But this is ridiculous.

Can't even see the Dodgers in a restaurant when you go out for dinner. It's like the Dodgers don't exist anymore.

Casual fans and potential new fans are blacked out because they aren't going to be able to tune in while channel surfing.

This is horrible.

Eff TWC and, honestly, the Dodgers.

 

[insert THIS! smiley here]

 

Yeah I think it's about time the blame shifts to the Dodgers. I defended them for awhile because TWC made an awful deal, but this shit has gone on for way too long.

 

They are a business and they took advantage of a stupid deal, just like they did themselves when they overpaid and let FUCKFACE keep half of the parking lots...and their high-priced nerd team now does with players... I switched to TWC and have had to endure their HORRIBLE service ever since but hey, what can I do?

It's a complete clusterfuck for all parties involved, except for the commies and Muslims who don't watch baseball and WGAF about them?
