Funny. The Roku MLB.tv app blows every other platform out of the water.
- exhilaration 7y agoMLB has a world-class engineering team [1] so that's not a surprise. You might even say they're in a different league than other content providers.

- organsnyder 7y agoHa. Their Roku app is the best non-live viewing experience I've ever experienced for any sporting event: during live games you can jump to specific innings/plays, change audio feeds between TV announcers, radio announcers, and stadium-only... really impressive.
- taurath 7y agoMLBAM must have done that in house. I'm not saying its impossible to do a good Roku app, it definitely is, and frequently its going to be faster because the language is fairly single purpose. But a roku team tends to need its own explicit resources. I've heard of a lot of gnashing of teeth from colleagues walking up to it, though I haven't played with it yet myself.
- pkamb 7y agoYou think the Roku version of MLB is significantly better than, say, the Apple TV version of MLB? Why?
- sjg007 7y agoBetter features.
- organsnyder 7y agoNever used the Apple TV version. But I have used the web and Android versions, and the Roku player blows them out of the water.
