The impending death of Bally Sports

I came back from a walk and put the game in.  Find the icon. Scroll to it. Hit enter. Wait for the spinning thing to finish.  Get to the menu. Click on the Comerica park picture.  Go to the bathroom.  Come back and it’s the “pregame”. It started from the beginning. Maybe I missed a question. Go back. Try again. Same thing. Try a third time and find an icon finally to “go live”. 
 

Hit the down arrow on your remote and you can pick any inning to start the game at. So if it's in the middle of the 3rd inning, you can start it at the beginning of the inning.

So, they have no app yet?   So I can only watch through a computer?       Someone help me with this.      They don't have a deal with Fire stick or anything like that yet?    I'll pay monthly because I really don't know what I'll be getting yet.

The MLB app works for the Tigers. Does the Fire Stick have that?

Yes. I watch on Fire Stick.

Is Fire Stick a proper brand or just a casual name for a Roku type service ?  I have a Roku on my office TV and for my outdoor setup when I use that.

I was able to watch the game today.

That’s one of the things I like about being a dinosaur with DirecTV satellite: it has never logged me out for god knows what reason and forced me to painfully input one character of my very long password at a time through a TV remote to get back in.

I’m the same way. I feel claustrophobic when I use an app to watch sports. Like I am trapped. Movies and such don’t bother me because I’m watching the movie. Sports is more casual. Especially baseball.  I’ve had mlb.tv for years and rarely used it because going in and out was just enough hassle to not be worth it. around playoff time I would watch some games.  I hope they come up with a resolution for the providers.

I have to watch with a DVR. Big difference.

There's an MLB app for both. The Fire Stick is an Amazon product, similar to the Roku.

We have two Samsung tvs and they both have the MLB app.  Currently we have ATT air and it does a fine job of streaming while we’re on devices. It’s a little glitchy with the MLB app (it evens out after a bit usually). However, because I think this will be a historic season, I ordered starlink which purportedly has speeds three times faster.

I'm the biggest TV dinosaur here. I remember when you could just press a button and start watching TV.  It is so much harder today and I don't know what you guys are talking about half the time.  I did get roku/youtube last year.  I barely know how to use it, but I don't watch tv enough now to justify the cost of DTV or cable.
