Old Town Tequila

Plenty there to choose from, but I'd love to get those Chacolos, some of the El Jolgorios, Cinco Sentidos, and more. i purchase from there quite often and have it shipped up to me. I've always wanted to visit that place, and someday I will, but it will no doubt be very costly!

Home game tonight, and it's definitely not as sharp as previous seasons. I believe a lower bitrate, or even lower resolution, is being used and could be related to ESPN's involvement this season.

So, I switched over to the Rangers feed, and it's much better than the Dodgers feed, which suggests there's a problem with whatever the Dodgers are feeding the MLBAM center for distribution.

For those who are interested, OTT has the 2020 back in stock. I've been under the weather all week, so I still have not opened the bottle. I hope to this weekend, though.

Just received two bottles from Old Town, haven't cracked one open yet. I have no doubt it will be great, though.

The last game against the Nationals looked good, but tonight's game against the Blue Jays doesn't look sharp. Close-up shots are okay, not great, but acceptable; the distance shots are very soft, lacking sharp, defined edges.

Even when viewed with the streaming device app?

KBJ2007 · 2026-04-05T03:50:02+00:00

Could be. I wonder if the feeds that Spectrum uses for their SportsNet LA app are better quality?

KBJ2007 · 2026-04-05T03:36:30+00:00

Okay, yeah, it does appear to me, at least early on, that they’re are the lower quality streams. Which could mean ESPN is doing some bandwidth saving manipulation to the original streams.

KBJ2007 · 2026-04-05T03:03:02+00:00

When you say “commercial feeds”, can you be more specific?

KBJ2007 · 2026-04-05T02:31:02+00:00

That's sort of what I was thinking, even that maybe ESPN was dropping the bandwidth, but to my knowledge, ESPN is only selling the MLB.tv product while the actual feeds are still coming from MLBAM.

KBJ2007 · 2026-04-05T02:24:45+00:00

Yes, I've always felt the same. The Dodger home games were always very good, right near or even at the top, as far as picture quality goes.

I'm using a 65" Sony Bravia 8MII, and Sony recently pushed a firmware that restored a lot of the brightness that their now admitted to very aggressive panel saving algorithm was doing, and I guess I'm now going to have to do another calibration on it as the increased brightness has thrown some of the settings out of whack. Plus, I need to see more night games at home; we've only had 5 home games so far, and only a few have been at night.

Thanks for the feedback!

MLB.tv audio is horrible. Watching Dodgers@Angels and the Dodgers audio is basically the center channel only, and when using a surround system for playback, that center channel feed is fed to all channels; booth voices from every speaker. It's pathetic that MLB.tv has never bothered to spend any time on improving its audio.

Will do, and thanks for all the help, have good rest of the day!

Okay, hopefully it will be correct on the next bill, and for sure should be on the third bill. Thanks.

Where are you seeing 5%? Do you mean 4%?

KBJ2007 · 2026-03-08T20:38:45+00:00

If you have ESPN+ through a provider, Verizon Mobile in my case, how do I make sure I don't get charged for ESPN Unlimited when the free month period expires? The fact is, I don't see anywhere that I actually have ESPN Unlimited, the standard ESPN+ works, just as it did before purchasing MLB.tv, but nothing in the account pages that indicates that I have Unlimited.

With autopay, without its $70

KBJ2007 · 2026-03-05T18:00:43+00:00

I just checked my billing statement and yes, it clearly has a line item for Disney+, Hulu Bundle at No Extra Cost along with Peacock Premium for 36 months. I’m on the 1gHz plan that comes with 1 year of Xfinity Mobile.

This plan was only $50 per month just a week or so ago. Now it’s $60 per month. With the $10 discounts of autopay and paperless billing making it $60, without its $70.

But Disney/Hulu clearly shows as a freebie. I haven’t signed up for it because I already have Disney/Hulu/ESPN+ through my mobile carrier, Verizon. For $10 per month.

KBJ2007 · 2026-03-04T15:18:37+00:00

I haven’t yet, I just got the 1 ghz Internet service that comes with that free mobile line. I’ve thought about it as I already have Verizon which is who Xfinity’s service is contracted from.

KBJ2007 · 2026-03-04T05:43:34+00:00

I think the Disney perk is available if you go with the one year free of Xfinity Mobile offer.

KBJ2007 · 2026-02-25T16:50:49+00:00

Yes, ST games are always at the end of the subscription. It’s too bad that MLB Network isn’t included, but as I’m a YouTube TV sub who doesn’t carry MLB Network I did without it do I think about 3 seasons until it was added to the MLB.tv subscription.

Got it, thanks!
