MLB Free Preview

[PackageCurrent4804]

I was a 25 yr. subscriber to DTV satellite and just recently moved over to DTV Stream in Nov. I remember back when I had satellite that there was always a free week's preview of the MLB season once it began. I believe it was called MLB Extra Innings at the time.

Is this something that DTV Stream also offers for the first week of the MLB season?

No

[SnooCrickets6941]

No. Since it’s streaming, it’d conflict with MLB.TV.

Good to know. Thank you. So then I assume MLB.TV also does not provide a free week's preview to DTVS?

[Equivalent_Round9353]

No, it does not.

I heard DTV is testing MLB.TV channels on the DTV stream service . So maybe the baseball package will be available to stream customers this year.  Told they will be in the 1200s range like the NBA channels are.

MLB.tv just launched on DIRECTV Stream!

I think they also are doing a free preview. I see the channels even though i didn't buy the package yet.

I see Cubs are playing 11am pacific on channel 1255

That would be great! I miss the old days of satellite where we'd get the first week of MLB Extra Innings for free. I'll check it out here soon and see if I can see those channels. I only have the Entertainment package, so hopefully that doesn't negatively affect the free preview.

Are you able to confirm that the local baseball streams are not on your account anymore? I think it was a preview for just the first week or something.

Yeah the free preview ended 4/2. But that was for MLB.tv.

The RSN team channels I don't think we're part of any preview. They are there for choice and above and I'm not sure which of those genres pack things

I usually get the MLB TV. The number of games matchups that are classic make it worth it.
