NBA, MLB Games Available On Apple TV

A software update for Apple TV enables one to view live and archived U.S. NBA and ‎MLB games. The Apple TV update version 4.2 also connects to the 5.1 Dolby audio to ‎Netflix streaming.‎

The National Basketball Association’s (NBA) feature “League Pass Broadband” is ‎available at $64.95 a year, which allows an enthusiast to follow seven teams. The $99.95 ‎option allows one to watch games from all 30 teams, and allows one to watch as many as ‎‎40 games a week during the season. The only glitch is a location-based blackout ‎limitation, by which the enthusiast can access his subscription in the state or zip code in ‎which it was purchased. ‎

The other option concerns Major League Baseball’s “MLB.TV” streaming package, ‎which is available on Roku and PlayStation 3, and is priced at $19.99/month or $99.99/year ‎for the Standard package; $24.99/month or $119.99 a year for the Premium package. ‎Premium packages enable one to choose home or away team video broadcasts, DVR ‎functionality, and split-screen viewing. ‎

Apple has also released iOS 4.3 which updates AirPlay, allowing viewers the facility to ‎wirelessly transfer photo slide-shows from mobile devices to Apple TV, and vice versa. ‎The update has fortunately fixed the vulnerabilities in FreeType. FreeType could ‎execute codes while processing an affected font.‎
