I just saw this news: [url]http://redboard.rogers.com/2011/let’s-play-ball-live-jays-coverage-anywhere-anytime-with-rogers-on-demand-online[/url]

Basically, anyone that has any roger's service can sign up for Roger's on demand online and watch the rest of the Blue Jays games this season for no additional cost starting with today's game.

I just tried it right now and it works. You don't need Roger's cable service (I only have Roger's cell phone plan and I can watch the Blue Jays game).

Edit: http://www.rogersondemand.com is the actual Roger's on demand site.

Shocking, rogers fails again. There is a blackout for canadian viewers, after waiting for an hour online, they said it won't likely be resolved tonight.

I don't thnk it's working for anybody.

I'm confused. I'm watching it right now so it must be working for some people.

*Ack. Once again I should have read the game thread as someone already posted this link on there. Feel free to lock this thread.

do you live in Canada?

Watching it, too.

I am in Toronto and watching it

Does someone care to breakdown how it'll work streaming on my blackberry? Hoping it doesn't eat data which it probably does.

I'm not with Rogers so I don't know about the phone

but if you're watching on your home computer, watch your bandwidth.... I don't know what quality they're streaming, but the highest quality MLB.TV streams use around 5gb per game

what's your monthly cap anyway, rarefind?

i have the mlb at bat app for iPhone, and loving it.. listening to radio streams is great without taking up too much bandwidth

The only question is why this wasn't done years ago.

I got 2gigs on my phone... not trying to let rogers get my money on overages. lol

they needed to get everyone on a monthly cap first... Why provide an "free" service without first ensuring that you have opened an extra revenue stream

lol...... so Rogers is letting you watch a 3 hour MLB game at i what i heard was a 5GB hit at best quality and 2GB minimum.

all this knowing how stingy ROGERS is with their data plans.

sneaky buggers

i wouldnt trust them.... it just makes them even more money out of your pocket.

Hey, I'm not complaining. It's nice to watch high quality streams for once instead of the terrible quality you get when you use other, less legal, streams. I just hope they do something like this for the Raptors when/if NBA starts next season.

Thanks!!

Actually looks pretty good and in HD!

Not impressed with Rasmus so far fellas!

How many games until you get that banner that says you've wasted 75% of your monthly bandwidth allowance?

Yeah...I'd say each game will take 4-5 GB.
