MLB.TV not switching to 2012 spring training games

MLB.TV is starting to cover some spring training games today, and I'm able to pull them up on my computer, but on ATV it's seems to be stuck in last season (offering only replays of last season's games). According to MBL.TV's website, for ATV specifically:

Watch every-out-of-market game LIVE in HD quality with MLB.TV Premium on your Apple TV. Don't have time watch the live game? Easily navigate to archived games. Spring Training games available early March.

Does this mean specifically that Spring Training games will only be available as archived games? I seem to read it as Spring Training games should be able to be watched live.

I just did an update on my ATV, also, to see if that would "kickstart it", but no good. Have logged out and back in a number of times, to no avail.

I have tried that game about 10 times.

No games from yesterday.

None from Tuesday.

None from last week.

None.

Only thing I can suggest not is at the bottom of Today's Game is a Tag called Settings. Click on it and then select Restore Subscription. If that does not work I'm lost.

That's the first thing I did.

This problem happening for me this evening..l watched games with no problem last night, watched recaps no problem this morning, but getting the spinning ball for all three games currently running.

Interestingly... No problem watching games on the iPad, but when I AirPlay to the apple.tv, same deal, a spinning ball on screen, and no baseball until I switch AirPlay off and watch on the iPad again.

Pretty frustrating, had a big night in planned.

Anyone got any fresh ideas?

I had the oppsite problem yeasterday. I got the spinning wheel on my laptop computer but was able to watch the game on Apple TV. I would guess I had an wifi problem between my laptop and my wireless router.

Just did full restore on the apple tv and it's working. Pain in the nuts having to re enter passwords and stuff, but who cares, it's working.
