Postseason.tv will be offering the whole postseason again for $9.99 via the MLB at bat app this year. Can we get this on Roku or are we stuck with the smaller screen or watching live via pc/Mac again this year?

Bump

That is a reasonable value. Has anyone used this before ? Does it work well ? I see they have no blackout dates. I would not mind watching the phillies play a few times.

It sucks if you are wanting to see it like a normal broadcast. You will get no graphics and a bunch of different views. You do get the audio from the broadcast but without the actual video, you lose a lot.

PostSeason.TV on the pc or mac is the most awesome experience ever. Multiple camera angles, (sometimes even the Blimp cam) instant replay, picture-in-picture or up to four angles at once, all games, no blackouts, no commercials (but you get to see what happens on the field during commercial breaks, just no sound, unlike MLB regular season where you see NOTHING... you don't usually get to hear the National Anthem or Take me Out To the Ball Game tho)

$9 for the whole thing. MLB is $27 or so per month for the regular season)

Are you saying that the audio and the video do not match? What do you hear then? Is it a radio broadcast? Could someone that knows please explain this a bit further. Also can I watch any of the four screens in full screen mode?

You get the tv broadcast audio but get a preset number of camera angles. IMHO it is very difficult to watch a game like this. It's great as a companion to the broadcast because you can see stuff you don't normally see. But as a way to watch an entire game, I don't think postseason.tv cuts it.

Watch for the special offers next year if you are interested in the package. It ended up costing me about $79 for the entire year after discount. I agree $27 a month would be a tad high.

Watching Postseason.TV on my ipad right now... the games show up on Roku as blacked out!

It works on iPhone too...interesting rules.

Ya. MLB is treating the playoff games just like your in market team. No live TV. Evidently the games will be available a couple of hours after they are finished. Mite work for a late nite game after bed time but for live coverage I will be watching on the computer over various sites as I am now.

Yeah, I don't like this. MLB was one of the main reasons I purchased my Roku.. now I can't wait MLB games any more (even after I purchased the PostSeason.tv junk?). Fail.

Bump! Can someone from ROKU address this issue, can we get an official comment on this? Posteason.tv is working on other devices, but Roku claims we are blacked out. Interestingly, if you click on the wrong link in AT BAT for ipad, it will tell you you are blacked out also, you have to click one of the 8 the US/Canada camera angles. Seems like it should be pretty easy to modify the Roku app to support postseason.tv, it uses the same account as mlb.tv

As much as I payed for the regular season, I should be getting this included.
