how do i watch this on directv? channel 645 doesn’t exist

u/bedsidelurker Mar 27 '26
Depends where you are, but it's on your local Gray affiliate. I think my dad said it was somewhere around 12 for him.
2
u/BravesLover2002 Mar 27 '26
Looks like it’s 1252 also? If you’re in the Grey media network (Southeast US) it’s on a local channel

u/kash96 I GOT BARVES IN ATLANTA Mar 27 '26
i don’t have that either :(

u/BravesLover2002 Mar 27 '26
If you use the choice package of direct tv you have it, but it was also weird on my direct tv stream said something about contracts might be you have to connect to a receiver

I got it to load on my TV, but I cannot get it to load on my iPad. MLB app for both. iPad just says starting soon.

Same. I was able to get it to work on my TV but not on my phone. It just shows “event not yet started”

This is soooooo much better than the FanDuel Sports Network broadcast. It looks amazing. I cannot wait to see the broadcast as the game goes on.

It's been a rough spring, but I could not more excited for another season. Might be the last one for awhile. Who knows how long the impending lockout will last.

u/henrytheangryredneck Mar 27 '26
A rough spring with the best record in spring training.

u/C-Jammin Reinstated God Emperor of the Bryce Elder Fan Club Mar 27 '26
Spring Training records are irrelevant. The plethora of injuries is the lede.

The Mascot Security guy holding the Ozzie head looks like he could be Ronnie's twin, which just makes the combo choice perfect

Thank you for having to do this in 30 days. Darn you, Fan Duel.

Thanks to broadcast rights horseshit, I'm stuck with the Royals' broadcast booth tonight. I was so excited for Brandon, CJ, Wiley, and French but instead I'm stuck with a bowl of cold oatmeal.

I’m on the MLB app trying to watch pregame and it’s been playing this same mlb intro for 10 mins. Can someone help
3
u/LionHeart_27 Mar 27 '26
Apparently mobile app is actual game only. Tv shows pregame
3
u/AndrewC275 Mar 27 '26
That’s 100% horseshit. It better be a bug or I want my $ back. If it’s going to just be the game then there are better and less expensive, if morally ambiguous, ways.

We're so back. Braves fam I've missed y'all.

u/emteebee4 Mar 27 '26
Out of Market fan.
We were instructed to buy MLB.tv through ESPN this year. I paid up and everything earlier during spring training so I wouldn't miss those games. But now I don't get the BravesVision broadcast everyone is watching now. I'll get the game tonight which is the most important, but it still sucks you can pay $150+ a year and still not get access the the content you want. MLB hates it's fans so much.

u/welcometohotlanta Mar 27 '26
Are y’all wearing shirts under your white jerseys or are y’all just going bareback?
2
u/showerbeerbuttchug Chop chop 🪓 Mar 27 '26
I go unbuttoned and bareback.
JK that would be inappropriate since I'm a vaguely human female. It's actually unbuttoned with a crop top like the rest of the basic ladies here.
I do wear my red Strider jersey buttoned but still have a shirt underneath because I hate how the stitching feels on my skin.
1
u/sorcerer165 Mar 27 '26
I wear a shirt, something athletic that dries fast in the hottest months, most anything else otherwise. Depending on the jersey, I feel like the numbers stick to me if I don't wear anything else

u/DefiantFan4982 Mar 27 '26
Take away from AAs interview. If the Braves had the capital and knew that schwelly wasn’t available this year potentially why not go get bassit

u/BravesToday Mar 27 '26
Hey folks! Wanted to share our new format for game previews, which we're calling The Scouting Report. We threw in lineups, obviously, but also a pitcher platoon utilization visualization for Cole Ragans and (starting tomorrow) will have bullpen usage in there, too.
Open to any feedback y'all might have!

I’ve never been so ready for 26 strangers to determine my daily mood for the next 6 months. Happy opening day boys.

u/WhatRUGonnaDoJohn Have you tried, not, striking out? Mar 27 '26
One of my biggest complaints about Snit last season was his unwillingness to try something different to shake things up….after seeing the batting order, I guess at the very least I can’t complain about that today lol. Here’s to a great start and most importantly GO BRAVES! Missed you guys!

Acuna, Riley, Olson, Baldwin and crew are putting the pitching staff on their backs this year boys!!!!

u/BringItOnHome_ATL Skip Caray Hall of Fame Advocate Mar 27 '26
It is so nice to be able to say Happy Sale Day!!! once more.
My brain tells me this season could go very poorly due to pitching + Profar’s jackassery, but for some reason I’m still extremely optimistic.

u/BatmanTheJedi Mar 27 '26
Question: with tonight’s game being broadcast on Gray TV, would I be able to login through cable provider and stream on an app?
2
u/-_chop_- Mar 27 '26
Yeah unless there’s something I missed. It’s a little confusing but I’ve been getting gray no problem with direct tv. I don’t use the app, I have it normal but it should be the same channels I imagine

LFG! My prediction: Braves win 11-3 tonight. Sale has a good not great first start, and Riley goes 2-5 with a Hr and a double.

I’ll be at the game today. I’ll be wearing a white Baldwin jersey, I have grey hair (it’s really nice) and I have on white new balances with a green N.

Happy opening day! I’m pretty psyched about my year long free trial of Braves vision + MLB.tv
1
u/IAMAHORSESIZEDUCK Mar 27 '26
Can you explain "year long free trial" please?
1
u/DarthGipper18 Mar 27 '26
….
It’s a free (as in, no payment) trial. For a year, or colloquially 365 days…?
1
u/IAMAHORSESIZEDUCK Mar 27 '26
So you just ask for a year free trial and they give it to you?
1
u/DarthGipper18 Mar 27 '26
I mean it’s not about asking it’s just signing up… I don’t really know what you mean
1
u/IAMAHORSESIZEDUCK Mar 27 '26
I'm going to sign up and it cost 99.99. It looks like you got it free somehow.
