MLB.TV not switching to 2012 spring training games

Just received this email reply from MLB cusotmer support to my inquiry"

The Apple TV will be available early this march. Check web site for Updates. www.mlb.com/devices

We do apologize for any delay and inconvenience this may cause.

It is as if the start of Spring Training caught MLB by surprise. It's the so called "service economy" - "we pay and we serve" . . .

Exactly the same problems I reset the ATV and the same problem I hope somebody can help me with this problem

Thanks Folks

The one and only reason why I bought Apple TV. They better have this problem fixed by tomorrow when the Giants game is on. pretty frustrating.

This is not good! I paid for both an Apple TV and MLB.TV. I don't care who's fault it is but I want to watch the Washington Nationals today.

Everyone is having the same problem. I suspect it's on the MLB side. May I recommend that EVERYONE send a support email to MLB.TV (log in, click contact, select MLB.TV) and Apple to put a fire under them?

I've personally demanded immediate access to the games I've paid for (they've already debited by CC) or a partial refund AND an immediate update with an exact date the service will begin. Many people are like me, and would not fork out the $100+ just to get access on their computer.

This "sometime in March" answer is a joke.

COT, I wish I could be sanguine that your noble demand will receive due respect and attention - before. . . . "sometime in March."

I'm commonly surprised by how far I get with my complaints and "demands". If I don't get the answer I want in email, I'll be following up with a phone call that won't end until I find someone who can give me some sort of answer (HINT: the person who answers the phone will NOT be able to answer my question). I'll charm my way to a manager who can fast track either an answer or a partial refund.

More power to you.

Of course, sometimes it all goes pear-shaped. MLB.TV took my complaint as a request to cancel my account... so instead of getting an answer, I've so far gotten an apology and had my account canceled.

I'm thinking this is on MLB's end. Customer service isn't their strong point.

Bottom line is that we are helpless against what is at bottom a state supported sports carte, their customers matter not at all because they have not any competition and are protected form the Supreme Court (read the baseball antitrust cases) to Congress (read the statues exempting sports league media contracts from the antitrust laws) to the President (who welcomes league champions to the White House every year. Say as it ever was Government produced "bread and circuses" for the masses (including you and me). One either takes it of leaves it. You gripe? Okay, we cancel you account. What's your alternative?

My guess is that Apple has an updated MLB.tv client integrated into the next iteration of iOS but it will not make its debut until Wednesday (3/7) when a new ATV3 is announced alongside the iPad 3. I hope they finally open up the ATV to third party developers in the next iOS.

Icazzi, That's an intelligent guess.

Any new news?

Problem solved, Today when I loggin I could wash all the games no problem.

Thanks all.

It is now working for me today. I did a restore this morning but doubt that had anything to do with it.
