MLB.TV to Offer Portable Option in 2010 | 
MLB.TV, a subscription service available through MLB.com which allows fans to watch most Major League games on their computers, announced its 2010 features and availability today.
According to the MLB.TV press release, fans will be able to “take a complete season of 2,430 games on MLB.TV wherever they go through a variety of interactive media platforms, including the newly unveiled Apple iPad and the MLB.com At Bat 2010 app for iPhone and iPod touch mobile devices. Additional platform offerings for live streaming are expected to be announced and available to subscribers for Opening Day.”
The league’s sometimes quixotic blackout restrictions prevent just about everyone from actually having all 2,430 games available, at least on video. Fans in Las Vegas, for example, are blacked out from Padres, Athletics, Angels, Diamondbacks, Dodgers and Giants games. None of those teams are actually located in Las Vegas.
But the service is very effective for fans of (most) out-of-market teams, Fantasy players tracking their team and the many who can’t get enough Vin Scully. At $120 for the year for the premium service and $100 for standard, it’s a less expensive option than the TV package ($199 last year) and though there were some bugs in the Adobe Flash player last year, it was generally well regarded.
Some of the features for 2010 include:
- HD Quality Picture
- Home and Away Feeds
- Live Game DVR Functionality
- Clickable Linescores
- Multi-Game Viewing Options
- Picture-in-Picture
- Live Game Highlights
- Player Tracker
- Spring Training
