I've been getting the authorization error as well, hopefully it works itself out tomorrow for opening day. As far as paying $60 or so more for Extra Innings, it might sound weird but I like the convenience of just turning on the TV and changing channels as opposed to booting up Apple TV or the FireStick and tuning in. I also like the commercials being there instead of a "we'll be right back screen", insane I know. If Extra Innings didn't come with MLB.TV though, which I use on my laptop when I travel I likely wouldn't bother with it, but I like it having it in the old school guide for the $60 premium. I also pay the premium to have Center Ice, albeit I think this is the last time I do that, the lack of HD games on Dish for Canadian matchups or the Canadian feed (which is always better than i.e. Fox Sports Arizona), is becoming a deal breaker. I've noticed even some of the HNIC feeds on Saturday night are not in HD. In this day and age that doesn't make a lot of sense to me when DirectTV always, for the most part as I like to compare, has both feeds in HD.

I'll take that 21mbs, I am 20 miles straight east of Colorado Springs and count myself lucky to get 10/1 DSL from CenturyLink, LTE or cable are non-existent here. That 10/1 is a pipe dream in the evening when everyone gets home and fires up streaming. Still that 10/1 is enough to watch a single stream of MLB.TV or NHL.TV.
And a reminder of why Satellite TV needs to remain an option. (Among other reasons)
You might want to try the activation for MLB.TV again this morning. I signed up for EI through Spectrum so I could watch/record on my TiVo (and get MLB.TV to boot). The activation had been giving me the same error until this morning, but this morning it worked. Hopefully Dish will do the same today for you?
That only works with things like the Apple TV/Roku, correct? It won't work on tablets or mobile devices anymore because of GPS?
Correct. It can also work on a PC if location settings are adjusted. On a rooted or jailbroken phone or tablet, a GPS spoofer app can be installed as well. I have a rooted Android phone with GPS spoof for this reason.

Does extra innings still include the internet version for free?
Sent from my SM-G950U using the SatelliteGuys app!
It does not look like there is a free preview...not listed on the free preview page, nor the free preview channel, and when I try and watch one of the games I get the option to buy.
I tried to tune in the Mets-Nats game to see if the free preview was up, but all I got was the option to order the package.
Same for me. Dish and their greed just keeps getting worse and worse each year. Continue raising prices and giving people less to watch. Pitiful.
So you don't get something for free and you immediately want to call Dish greedy. SMH. Is it possible that MLB decided no free preview this year?
Hey guys I want to order the MLB Extra Innings but I have a question.....The Mets are my team....about how many games will I be able to see? Thanks....Oh and they are all in HD?
This raises a question I've had: since Dish doesn't carry SNY as an RSN, do they air the Mets games from SNY as part of EI?
Thanks for the info....but according to that it is not available to me.......If I spend spend $178 I want to see as many Met games as possible so I am curious to see about how many games will be shown on MLB Extra Innings
Sometimes. They also sometimes have the YES Yankees feed and NBC Sports Philadelphia Phillies feed. But they look to be feeds from MLB when they do.
So, Evil Z06 it sounds like your best bet is to get MLB.tv (if you have a good broadband connection). You can get the single team package for $91.99, or the whole-team package for $118.99. This way you will get to see all Mets games, except any that are nationally televised on ESPN.
