Computers If I bought MLB.TV... - Page 2

Hootie · 04-13-2009, 05:19 PM

Could I stream it from my computer to my TV by using a PS3?

Or do they even get blacked out? I know FSN has blacked out 3 of the 5 games so far this year in Des Moines.

I didn't know if mlb.tv would have blackouts as frequently.

And apparently not, as I said, since the Des Moines district of Mediacom has been blacked out 3 times this week. Apparently the "local" area is 6 hours away...

I am blacked out of the Brewers game and I live in Central Illinois...so watch out for blackouts...

Blargh... So this service is useless to me. If they're blacked out on FSN, I still won't be able to watch them. Unless there is a way to fudge my zip code? Or does it go by your billing address?

That is all.

I honestly think it is worth the $19.95 a month.

MLB. TV can suck on my balls as far as I'm concerned. Bastards black out the Royals here in Scottsbluff. I'm fucking 630 miles away and living in the Rockies TV area. Yet the Royals are blacked out. I can choose to watch every other team BUT the Royals.

Pretty sure it goes by your IP location. I have tried logging onto a friends account who lives in LA and the local games are still blacked out.

What output do you have from your computer? If you don't mind getting not-amazing-quality-sound, I just use my DVI-HDMI cable that I bought from Monoprice.com and connect my PC to my TV. Then, I just bring my PC speakers and put them on by the TV.

Hey Hootie.

Try something called PS3MediaServer

Its pretty awesome.

Not sure if you can stream mlb.tv, you'd have to check. But this is free and well worth it.

http://code.google.com/p/ps3mediaserver/

This is one of the things it supports "Internet TV / Web Radio support with VLC, MEncoder or MPlayer "

So, someone, not me, but some random person could stream porn in HD through their PS3 onto their Plasma television? How would said pervert go about getting this on their PS3? Like, with a data card? Or could said pervert take this link and go to it on the web browser for the PS3?

Actually, someone that I know, not me, has done exactly that.

All I, err....he had to do was have the Computer and PS3 connected to the same Router.

That really sucks. My piece of shit HP laptop just had it's wireless adapter go bad and it needs to go in for service. 3rd time in less than 2 years due to shitty manufacturing. I wish those bastards would just ship me a new one already. I guess I'll have to wait.

So basically with that patch you can surf the web on your ps3 to the same capacity as a pc? I could watch the Chiefs streams this year on my Plasma?

Not necessarily.

I havent been able to do that.

You can play any videos or music or view any pictures that you have on your PC hard-drive on your TV.

If it were in a mp4 or avi format I hear you can just drop the file on a usb drive.

I know nothing about PS3, but mlb.tv is just a flash page loaded in a browser. So, if you can show a browser and view flash on the PS3, no reason it wouldn't work.
