@Sportsanon95 @SunnyLipton12 @xpattirae You have to select the mariners broadcast (SEAM). If you select the other teams feed as you start the stream it will be blacked out.

@SunnyLipton12 @xpattirae Wait I did pay 100$ and mines still blacked out?

hate that i can’t watch the Mariners on tv omfg

@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

@IcyVert I liked it 🎺 🔥

Trumpet lady needs to be sent down to AAA to work on her stuff

@anishmoonka Great explanation

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.

@Treadztv2 @Xfinity @XfinitySupport @RyanDivish @sanjaromin @MarinersONTap You pay extra for the premium package with Mariners.tv PLUS a regional sports fee. Meanwhile Mariners.tv is available in the MLB app for $20 per month and I PROMISE the picture clarity is much better in app. Comcast does not provide value anymore.

$306 is ridiculous from @Xfinity @XfinitySupport They purposely stuck the mariners in the $125 plan which is the most expensive when you could have it $79 last year and watch them. @RyanDivish @sanjaromin @MarinersONTap

@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?

@Softykjr You may need to power cycle your modem and WiFi 🤷

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.

The storm is not gathering. It is here.

Paying for @espn TWICE with @YouTubeTV and ESPN Select & still being locked out of key @AustralianOpen matches is outrageous. #AusOpen

@YouTubeTV Good! Glad that’s settled. Now could we move on to sorting things out with @MLBNetwork?

We’re happy to share that we’ve reached a deal with Disney to bring their content back to YouTube TV. Subscribers should see channels including ABC, ESPN, and FX returning to their service over the course of the day. Thanks for your patience and for being a valued member.

@NickAtNews @CAMcGrady chicagocrusader.com/lynching-by-su… “According to activists working with the family of Trey Reed, a second, independent autopsy revealed the DSU student had blunt force trauma to the back of the head possibly indicating a homicide, in direct conflict of the initial suicide ruling.”

The death of Trey Reed, found hanging from a tree in Mississippi in what has been ruled a suicide, struck the nation's raw nerves. @CAMcGrady reports: nytimes.com/2025/09/29/us/…

What has happened to the White House? It looks like a cheap gold plated toilet.

@GUnit_81 @VSiNLive Congrats on a great record! This motivated me to load in your picks today 💰

The @vsinlive MLB write ups record stands at 431-413-15, +14.86 units since March 29. Last day before the All-Star Break, I’m going to look to make it a big one! vsin.com/mlb/mlb-picks-…

@RpsAgainstTrump It’s deranged and demonstrates the sycophantic culture of the administration and today’s @GOP.

Perhaps it’s time for the 25th Amendment?

@MajigX @PNSN1 Me too (Easton Cove)

@PNSN1 Felt it in Monroe! Big shudder
