It took less than three minutes and zero dollars for me to access the game from scratch (no Roku account).

Adapt or die.

Video quality is poor compared to satellite and you have to search through menus to find the game- why would I not want this??? The refresh rate is not as good (so the picture is not as fluid) and the picture is not as sharp.

As long as people are willing to put up with it this IS the way it will go.

Less than three minutes. Zero dollars. Crystal clear.

It’s not a big deal.

If you think the picture quality is great I suspect you have not watched a high res satellite or cable feed lately or even a higher quality stream.

Gig-speed Xfinity connection and a 4K TV. It looks great.

How would you like the rest of us to not put up with it? You already showed your support by accessing the stream.

Right? I’d post a picture if I could, but that probably wouldn’t be good enough.

Streaming games have been a thing for years now. I can’t believe this is still a cause for such hand-wringing.

The picture quality on my Roku TV is fantastic. Mixing up the broadcast crews is a nice touch. Outside of the score no complaints here.

Exactly. If you complain about this you just like complaining.

Heard rumor a new streaming platform may get a game later in September.
It's the sister of ROKU called HAIKU

On Haiku, the announcers must broadcast the game by speaking in 3 line phrases ..with total of 17 syllables
5 in first line said, then 7 second phrase, then 5 in last one.

Chip Caray starting to practice so he can audition to do the play-by-play :D
