The "We have submitted your feedback..." line is their standard response, but I don't anything actually gets submitted. If it does, no one cares. Every time I go on those forums there's a thread asking for WP8 app, and when the thread closes another one pops up. There's clearly a demand for it, so I don't know what the problem could be, other than an obvious dislike for MS and/or the WP platform.

After content lockdown, MLB expands YouTube partnership | The Verge

Think we could use some sort of a IP mask and this service to get streaming games on our phones? Is there even an IP service for WP8?

It's possible to use a VPN on a PC to watch blacked out games, but the MLB At Bat app on Android seems to notice VPNs and it doesn't work. On a WP it might be possible if you're using the browser, except of course for the little issue of WP not supporting VPNs. Maybe there's another IP masking method usable on a WP; I don't know.

At least they're upfront about screwing their users over. I've complained to Verizon repeatedly about the lack of NHL Gamecenter and the fact that their ads explicitly claim to be on "all 4G lte smartphone and tablets" which they tried to BS their way out of by saying it was only for the upgrade from standard to premium. Even if that was the case it's still horrifically misleading.

Does anyone know if this Tmobile offer gives the same "portable subscription" feature as the regular subscription? (being able to access AtBat on your computer without subscribing again)

If it does, then I'll find a friend with T-Mobile and see if they will help me with that. Since WP support seems to be never coming. (although I still check the forums every day just to check this thread)

This is free access TO THE At Bat APP, not to MLB.tv

You will not get to watch whatever game you want, just the game of the day, but you will get the radio package (and that COULD carry over to the PC, not sure)

Thanks for posting, I was always curious about this when I see those commercials. I actually contemplated switching to Verizon so I could watch games on my Windows Phone!

This is correct. And I'm pretty sure the radio package does NOT get you audio on the PC. But I can't tell you that with 100% certainty.

I wasn't talking about MLB.TV I was talking about the thing where if you buy AtBat on one platform you can access it(and the streaming audio) on the other platform and PC.

I don't think that IS a thing. You can't buy an app on the Apple Store and get it for free on Google Play. However, If you buy the Radio package for $20 on MLB.com, you get access (it Unlocks the full experience) to the Apple store app and the Google Play app.

BUT...while I do not think it is cross PLATFORM, everything should be cross CARRIER. So perhaps you could find a friend with iOS on T-Mobile and you could get the app for your iOS device on AT&T.

MLB.com At Bat | MLB.com: Mobile

Bullet point #1 for both iPhone/iPod and Android is what I am referring to.
