Yeah, I love it.

Some games are blacked out due to the FOX schedule—but I get most games with the package, and I’m so happy with my purchase.

I don't have MLB.TV, but I had the same problem with Gameday Audio

I called them multiple times, then I finally asked to speak to a supervisor. The supervisor escalated my problem to “tier 2 tech support”. After losing my initial e-mail reply, they finally called me back and helped me figure out my problem. (Tier 2 folks really know what they’re talking about.)

In my case, it had to do with some combination of an outdated Java platform and my firewall. Also, she had me disable Silverlight—it seems to do more harm than good.

I had to disable my Windows (XP) firewall and cut my Kaspersky firewall to minimal protection to make it work. Apparently, the new system streams something that some firewalls regard as a threat. She said that firewalls have been one of the biggest problems with the 2008 products.

called em twice

they said not to call anymore. they would call me back. 2 months ago

by BradB311 on Jul 19, 2008 6:32 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Try this.

Uninstall Silverlight, and disable the Windows XP firewall.

In Kaspersky, put the Firewall on “low security”, check “Enable filtration system”, uncheck “Enable Intrusion detection System, uncheck “Enable Popup Blocking”, and uncheck “Enable Anti-Banner”. You might need to restart for that to take effect.

You probably need NextDef—not sure, as I only have Gameday Audio and don’t need it.

If that doesn’t work, call MLB Tech Support and immediately ask to speak with a supervisor. They can elevate problems. If you call during “business hours” they may be able to forward you to tier 2 immediately.

where do i diasble

the windows XP firewall? Internet options then Privacy? On hold with mlb tech support right now

by BradB311 on Jul 19, 2008 6:43 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Don't disable the firewall

It is probably Silverlight. You need to uninstall it and run the older media center interface. Silverlight is still very buggy (it is technically a beta software … which leads me to believe that MLB.com is crazy to put it in as the primary interface.)

Uninstall Silverlight under control panel – add remove programs.
Reboot.
Log back into MLB. It will ask if you want to run the older media center of silverlight interface. Pick media center.

Have fun!
