Hi Tim, You know, I intensely dislike the latest update to the Apple TV software that I think I'm going to try the Apple TV App. With MLB TV, I hear so much garbage when I load the day's games that I cannot even listen for the scores or schedules any more. Also, VO isn't talking when the Main Menu comes up. I've re-installed the update and it's still as bad or worse than it was when I first updated.
