Anyone happen to have an email address or phone number for one of the higher-ups so I can cancel without too much hassle? I really don't want to waste a couple hours of my life trying to get a pro-rated refund . . .

Don't act like it's such a big deal.
I wonder how much of it is on Microsoft, and how much of it is on the MLB.com coders.
I noticed some complaints in Spring Training about things (like fullscreen) that Silverlight supported easily, yet weren't implemented on MLB.com at that point yet.
They've already got YOUR money... they're trying to attract new business! :P
Opening Day was absolutely miserable. I didn't get to actually watching any of the White Sox game until the third inning. Their customer service was equally terrible -- it took me about ten minutes to even find a phone number on MLB.com and when I eventually got the number, I was disconnected about five times. Furthermore, even when I have gotten to see games this year, the quality has been piss-poor -- some of that is on the crappy internet I have at Marquette, but even last year it wasn't this bad.
I also don't like reading that Timmermann is having trouble canceling his subscription. I forgot that MLB plays that game where they charge you for the next season if you don't cancel your prior season's subscription.
Their service this year, quite frankly, has been a ####### joke.
Wah, wah, wah. In my day, we didn't have internet in the dorms at MU. And my freshman dorm was stuck way out on 26th (and Dahmer was living half a block away).
(Yeah, I did walk to classes in the snow a few times)
When I moved off-campus, we had 14.4 modems AND LIKED IT!
:P
This is not to say MLB.com shouldn't deliver better service.
My freshman dorm was within walking distance of Milwaukee County Stadium, so it wasn't all bad. Day games and $4 bleachers - beautiful combo for a college student.
I have Silverlight installed in Internet Explorer but not Firefox (which is my primary browser). If I want to use WMP for MLB.TV/Gameday Audio, I simply use Firefox instead.
If someone had the read my whole post, you would know that I'm using a Mac, so there is no dxdiag file to send. I could send the system profile, but what little support that exists doesn't ask for it.
MLBAM is making you pay to be a beta tester for them. Bottom line.
I could see the Jerry Springer types being a sucker for it, but not bright intelligent people, the types that frequent this board.
its amazing.
As I live in Australia, what alternatives do you suggest?
MLB.tv has presented me with plenty of problems over the last 5 years I've been using it, but overall I've probably watched at least the majority of a couple hundred games live, and listened to many more with the audio player. For that money I probably could have watched 20 mediocre Sunday afternoon Premiership games instead.
Not excusing the poor service detailed above, but as the 'any port in a storm' solution, MLB.tv isn't close to the worst I've seen. And I'm not only bright intelligent, but smart and handsome too.
I find nothing foolish about wanting to enjoy as much baseball as possible at a modest price.
I would encourage all to ignore criticism of your love of baseball.
And now he stars in Geico commercials!
Hold on, I'll put him on speaker.
I went to college at Duke down in Durham, NC, and there was this one square in the parking lot where I could get the KDKA broadcast for night games. I used to go out there sometimes and listen.

My only issue with MLB.tv is that I can't watch Mets games from the Yankee Stadium press box, or vice versa. A MLB.com producer tried to help me- and even he couldn't get access.
It's not clear what additional business MLB has generated as a result of this.
He's PR for MLB Advanced Media but can connect you to a legit person.
Jim Gallagher left MLB for IMG or I would do better.
You could Google this in case Matt gets curious.
