MLB Opening Day Is March 26. Are You Ready to Miss 85% of Your Team’s Games This season?

You Will Without Streaming.

Baseball Season’s Coming!

MLB Opening Day is March 26, and fans everywhere are getting ready for another season of big moments, late-inning drama, and hopeful playoff runs. But there’s one thing many fans don’t realize until the season starts: If you rely only on cable or satellite TV, you may miss most of your team’s games.

MLB Plays a Lot of Baseball

Each MLB team plays 162 games every season. Across the league, that’s about 2,430 regular-season games. But traditional TV only shows about 13% of those games.

Today, many MLB broadcasts are split across different platforms, including:

League streaming services like MLB.TV

Regional sports networks

Exclusive streaming games on platforms like Apple TV+, Prime Video, or Peacock

National broadcasts on ESPN and other networks

Cable and satellite still carry some games, but a large part of the season now lives on streaming platforms.

For fans who rely only on traditional TV, that can mean missing most of the action.

Streaming Gives Fans More Control

Streaming has changed the way people watch sports.

Instead of paying for large bundles filled with channels you never watch, streaming lets you choose the services that actually carry the games you want.

That means you can:

Watch on your TV, phone, tablet, or laptop

Choose the streaming services that match your interests

Cancel or change services whenever you want

Avoid paying for channels you never use

For many households, streaming also costs less than traditional cable packages, especially when you only subscribe during the sports season you care about.

It’s a more flexible way to watch, and one that puts fans back in control.

Streaming Can Be the Only Way to Watch Some Teams

Streaming isn’t just about convenience. In some cases, it’s the only way to watch certain games or teams. This is especially true for fans who follow teams from other states.

If you moved away from your hometown team, cable TV may not carry their games in your area. Streaming services like MLB.TV make it possible to follow those teams all season long, no matter where you live.

Streaming also carries many games that are exclusive to specific platforms, meaning they may never appear on traditional TV at all.

The One Thing Streaming Needs: Reliable Internet

While streaming gives you freedom and flexibility, it does rely on one important thing.

Your internet connection.

Live sports are one of the most demanding types of streaming. When thousands of fans are watching the same game at the same time, a slow or unstable connection can lead to:

Buffering during big moments

Reduced video quality

Delayed streams

That’s why having fast, reliable internet matters.

That means reliable speeds for:

Live sports streaming

Busy households with phones, laptops, and smart home devices

We can help you:

Get your streaming services up and running

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Intermax help me set up streaming?

During your installation, our team recommends the best router placement, sets up your Intermax Insights app, and makes sure your connection is optimized.

We can also help you download and set up streaming services so your devices are ready to go. Before we leave, we make sure your home is streaming smoothly.

I’m already an Intermax customer. Can you help improve my streaming setup?

Absolutely. You can request a home assessment, and our team will evaluate your connection, router placement, and device setup. If needed, we’ll recommend solutions like mesh WiFi systems designed to eliminate dead zones and improve coverage.

Have you helped other customers save money?

Yes. For example, one customer in Sagle replaced her satellite TV service with Hulu + Live TV and saved about $40 per month. She also simplified her setup and reduced the number of remotes in her living room.

We help customers build a streaming setup that fits their lifestyle and budget.

What kind of support can I expect from Intermax?

Local, hands-on support. Our team is patient, knowledgeable, and ready to help with questions or troubleshooting. We don’t just install your service and leave. We make sure your streaming experience is smooth and stress-free.

This feels confusing. How do I know what to choose?

You’re not alone. The TV industry has changed quickly, and there are more options than ever. That’s actually a good thing — it means you have more control and flexibility.

We’re here to help you sort through the options, choose what fits your budget and interests, and make sure everything works smoothly. Friendly, local support included.

What do I do with my old set-top box?

You can return it to your previous provider and say goodbye to the monthly TV rental fees. Many families are replacing traditional TV subscriptions with streaming and using just their internet connection. Fewer boxes, fewer remotes, and often a lower bill.

Can I still get my local programming, like news and sports?

Yes. Most local stations offer live streams or on-demand content through their websites or apps. You can also access local channels through live TV streaming services like Hulu + Live TV or YouTube TV. You won’t miss your local news, weather, or hometown sports coverage.

How do I get started?

Check service availability at your address and schedule installation. Our team will optimize your WiFi, help you select streaming services if needed, and make sure everything works before we leave.

What can interfere with my WiFi signal?

Thick walls, concrete basements, metal framing, large homes, and poor router placement can all weaken WiFi signals.

If you’re experiencing buffering or slowdowns in certain rooms, we can assess your setup and recommend improvements to strengthen coverage throughout your home.

Can Intermax handle multiple streams at once?

Yes. Our Fiber and Fixed Wireless internet plans are built to support multiple devices streaming at the same time. That means one person can watch a game, another can stream a movie, and someone else can video chat — without buffering interruptions.

What if I already have streaming subscriptions?

Great. You can continue using your existing subscriptions on your TV, phone, tablet, or computer. With strong internet and properly placed WiFi equipment, everything works seamlessly across your home.

Do I need a device like Roku or Fire TV?

Not necessarily. If you have a Smart TV, you can download streaming apps directly.

If your TV isn’t smart, devices like Roku, Fire TV, or Apple TV can connect to the internet and make it streaming-ready. Our technicians can help you figure out what makes the most sense for your setup.

What about sports or specific content I love?

Streaming gives fans more access than ever before. Many leagues offer their own apps, like NFL, NBA, and MLB, so you can follow your teams directly. Major streaming services like Peacock, ESPN+, and Prime Video also carry exclusive games and events.

With streaming, you’re no longer limited to whatever happens to be on a single channel. You can follow your favorite teams, leagues, and events from almost anywhere.

How is streaming better than watching TV on a set-top box?

Streaming puts you in control. Instead of watching what’s scheduled in a TV guide, you choose what to watch and when to watch it. Sports, movies, documentaries, kids’ shows, international content — it’s all on demand and available on any device in your home.

You can also take it with you when you travel, head out to the shop, or relax in another room. And because you choose only the services you want, many households save money compared to traditional TV packages.
