I just recently purchased a new LG 65UH7700 TV and I am currently having problems with the MLB.TV app. I can launch the app fine and I can start watching a live steaming game fine, but after about 30 seconds or so of watching a game, the app freezes and then the TV reboots. I know it is not my internet connection because I can watch the games fine on other devices on the same network such as on my 5 year old LG TV, the Apple TV, or my iPad, or iPhone. I purposely bought the LG TV over a Vizio because it had the MLB.TV app built in whereas the Vizio did not. Has anyone else experienced this? Is this an issue that I should return the TV for or have a technician come out to troubleshoot? Please help!!

Thanks all for the info. Was having the same issue with major buffering issues and didnt believe it was in my end. All other apps worked perfectly. When I called LG they said the same thing that the issue was with MLB.TV and not LG. Using Xbox one to stream games but would be nice if it is resolved soon.

FYI....I contacted LG directly back in May and they said that it is not an issue with LG, but rather an issue with MLB.TV. I posted a similar discussion on MLB.TV and there were a lot of other people with the same issues for this TV. Over time, when I mentioned when a fix was going to be in the works, I always got a response such as "we will forward this request to our developers for further testing and consideration" and then never hear back from them. After 2 weeks of inactivity on the thread and they archive it to the point where it cannot be found. I finally gave up and just decided to use other devices such as AppleTV, etc to connect. I am not sure about everyone else, but according to the MLB.TV app on my TV, the last time it was updated was 5/19/2015 which seems to be the root cause of the problem. They (MLB.TV) need to update the darn thing!!

Purchased 49" LG 4K smart tv in July 2016. Out of the box everything worked great but the MLB App. Netflix YouTube and the rest work flawlessly. Picture freezes and stutters with MLB. Shuts down and closes out of the app. Tried rebooting router. Tried Ethernet and wireless. Tried everything. I'm watching games on iPad now. Seems to be a common problem with LG Smart TVs.

Same problem. I even hard wired the TV to my router, and turned off wifi. Was so bummed that did not fix it. Back to using my TIVO mlb.tv app.

I have the same problem. Please help
