Apple TV Scores MLB Games For 2011 Season [Update: NBA & 5.1 Netflix Too]

With just weeks to go before the start of the 2011 season, we’ve got great news for baseball fans: You can now watch Major League Baseball games using your Apple TV. This news comes from MLB, which is promoting the new service on its website. In order to use this service, you must install the latest Apple TV update, plus purchase a subscription to MLB.TV, which costs $99 per season, or $120 for the MLB.TV Premium Package.

In order to promote this package further, Apple TV owners can stream select Spring Training games for absolutely free. Regular season features include:

• HD Quality broadcasts, where available
• LIVE and archived games (MLB.TV Premium only)
• Home and away broadcasts
• Quick navigation to run scoring plays or a particular player at bat

This is an incredible deal, especially if you already own a MLB.TV package.

On top of that, Netflix video streaming was added 5.1 audio support.
