From bad to worse

It seems the in their never-ending quest to improve their troubled video player, MLB.tv has introduced an outrageous error. When the player finds a flaw in the NexDef video, it switches to the Standard video. This seems smart, huh? And if you are watching a live game, it works well. It keeps the video from quitting altogether when it finds a snag. However, when you are using the DVR function to watch a game, as I usually do, it doesn't work quite so seamlessly. I generally start watching during the late innings but immediately skip back to the start of the game, taking careful steps to not see the score when the game starts up. Well, with the new and improved feature, the game plays fine for a bit, but within a inning's time, it will inevitably hit one of those snags and switch to the Standard video. Standard video doesn't support DVR function during live games, so the video switches to the live feed. So, I'm watching along, maybe there are 2 outs in the bottom of the first. Probably runners are on base and WHAM! Suddenly I'm in the 9th inning. That's fantastic. What's even better is that it happens about once an inning.
