@seattletimes @bcondotta @mikevorel Don’t mind the streaming but not distributing the games on @YouTubeTV is inconvenient and puts the games a little less front of mind. People need to accept more national exclusive games on Apple TV, Peacock, etc. come with being nationally relevant. It’s a good thing.

Mariners fans' sacred rituals have been disrupted by streaming subscriptions and channel switches. The frustration is warranted, but technology changes will keep coming, columnist @mikevorel writes. ebx.sh/QJoCZH

Your Netflix "4K" stream and a 4K disc put the same number of pixels on your screen. But the disc version of a two-hour movie is about 70 gigabytes. The stream is about 14. Same pixels, roughly five times less data filling them. You see it first in dark scenes. The stream doesn't have enough data to tell dark grey from black, so your TV just mashes it all into chunky blocks. Then you notice sunsets looking like a paint-by-numbers, with visible stripes where smooth color should be. Film grain is probably the biggest casualty. Directors add that slightly textured look on purpose to make movies feel cinematic. Streaming compression reads it as noise and wipes it. That's where the weirdly plastic, waxy look on a good OLED comes from. One comparison I can't stop thinking about. A regular 1080p Blu-ray (the older HD format, not even 4K) pushes about 40 megabits of data per second to fill 2 million pixels. A 4K stream pushes 15-25 to fill 8 million pixels. Four times the pixels. Less data. A plain HD disc from 2008 can look sharper than a brand new 4K stream. Sound is worse. Netflix sends "Dolby Atmos" audio at about 768 kilobits per second, compressed, with parts of the original permanently deleted. A disc sends TrueHD Atmos at up to 18,000, lossless, nothing removed. Up to 23x more sound data. If dialogue sounds flat when you're streaming, that's not your speakers. Netflix is getting better at this. As of late 2025, 30% of their streaming runs on a newer compression method called AV1, the same picture at a third less data. They also strip film grain out before compressing, then rebuild it on your TV during playback. Saves over a third on file size for most content, and up to two-thirds for really grainy movies. The rebuilt grain looks solid. The tradeoff won't go away, though. Netflix has to deliver a file that works over spotty rural Wi-Fi and gigabit fiber, adjusting quality frame by frame to whatever your connection can handle. A disc reads plastic. Same quality every time.

Getting a 4K player and an OLED really opens your eyes to how streaming services just completely butcher movies with compression lol

@Softykjr Apple TV 4K MLB app is perfectly clear and can definitely pause, rewind, fastforward, and jump around by half-inning and there’s also a nice in-app multiview.

Ok, so I'm watching through the MLB app. Can't pause or rewind. All national commercials and MLB promos during the break. Picture quality not great. Same on other platforms?

Watching through the MLB app now. The picture quality is absolute dog meat. Looks like just a regular standard definition feed Anyone else having that issue?

@Softykjr Looks awesome on MLB app via Apple TV. Definitely an improvement compared to Root last year but sooo disappointing it’s not in YouTube TV app - switching between apps often is such a clunky experience & ruins multiviews.
