NFT: YouTube TV adds MLB TV to its lineup

YouTube TV has added MLB.TV to its Live TV lineup, just in time for opening day April 1. Now, YouTube TV subscribers can choose the MLB.TV add-on to get Live streaming access to all regular season out-of-market games.

Subscribers can stream every game, with the exception of ESPN, FOX, and MLB Network telecasts. All spring training games will also be available with the package.

I guess the question is, since I already subscribe to MLB TV separately, is there a way to transfer it over to my YouTube TV account?

The crappy thing about YouTube TV

Is the fact that you can’t get MSG. Can get NBA league pass, but won’t see the Knicks locally. Can’t get MSG go since I’m not a cable subscriber.

Yep the crap that is going with the regional networks sucks.

Can't get Yanks via YTTV, and can't watch Sixers when they play the Knicks or Nets.

you're better off living out of region with some of these services!

I can't understand why i just can't go to a screen and order those shows i want to see. I want to have MSG, Yes, and i want to watch the Giants play. Now i have to jump through rings to watch what i want. No packages at all just ala carte menu so i pay for what i want.

I have Extra Ticket through

MLB. Great for out of towners and I can watch on the big TV or my computer if away.

Just saw the answer to my question

I cannot transfer over my MLB TV account to YTTV. I would have to cancel with MLBTV and then re-order it with YTTV.

I'll just keep my access with MLB TV.

Fortunately

a lot of yankees games seem to be broadcast out of market on either MLB network, TBS, Fox, or ESPN

this will likely get sorted out in the net few years

but in the interim sports streaming is a huge hassle, especially in-market.

Regional sports networks and local blackouts are the most

It really is. So many examples of its absurdity.

Here in SoCal, I have a friend that likes the Dodgers. He has cable literally so he can watch LAD. The cable box stays on that channel. And there's no other logical and legal way for him to watch. It's a ridiculous situation.

So stupid that it's for out of market only

especially with more people cutting the cord.
