WTF MLB.TV??

Now they show an advertisement before they start the stream. And I even have to watch it when I want to change the stream to an other quality? Are they out of their mind? I mean we pay for that. (although it seems there are a lot of ways to get it cheaper now, ways nobody told us before the season of course...)
This really pisses me off, if this continues and the Mariners don't show much improvement, I probably won't renew my postscription.
Not to talk about the mlb.tv ads during the mlb.tv stream. Just stupid...

This comes and goes, and it sucks
for us that want to paste the game in to WMP because it can give the address for the commercial rather than the game.

Slingbox
Get one.
Granted it’s useless unless you have someone who lives in Seattle who lets you hook up to their TV.
Northeastern University Huskies: Mediocre hockey, guaranteed.

I have one (A's fan in Chicago) and it works awesome
I got it hooked up to my home cable and its great.

They did this for a bit last year,
where every game switch meant a new ad. It didn’t last long. Hopefully they abandon it soon again.
In the meantime, I’d recommend using Mosaic.

On a tangentially related note
I haven’t had any problems with MLB.tv, but the Flash based “Multimedia Video Playback Page” where you view the highlights has ceased functioning in any browser on my Mac. I think it might be related to installing the full version of Flash (not Flash Player, which is also installed, maybe it’s a conflict).
I can still watch the highlights on my work machine (which is a PC). Really, MLB just has a hard on for Microsoft.

It's like a PC running Vista.
Just as annoying to use, but more stable.
I like using semi-colons; they make me feel smart.

Wrong.
OS X is superior to anything Microsoft has ever produced.

OS X is a glamorous toy.
I maintain that Windows XP is the most stable and useful OS on the market.

Correction
I maintain that Windows XP is the most stable and useful OS on the market since Windows 2000 Pro’s Support was terminated.

I did say it was more stable than Vista.
Vista annoys me because it tries too hard to guess what it is I want it to do, and I hate that. Macs have been doing that for years.
Like file associations. Why does the computer think it knows which application to use to open a given file? It’s just guessing, and it’s wrong a lot.
I want DOS back. Or at least OS/2. OS/2 I liked.
