I kept looking for the app on my ATV last night. It didn't appear at all. I'm really hoping that it's there when I come home tonight. I only have internet at this point since I'm waiting for Xfinity to come out to look at what's wrong with my cable. I am looking forward to streaming the Red Wings/Lightninig game tonight via the app (if it's there).
Got a tip for us?

NBC doesn't have any rights to Major League Baseball. So, no.
ESPN, I think the answer is also no. You need to have a TV subscription that includes ESPN.
I'm among the people still not seeing this, either on my ATV2 or 3. Which is annoying.
For those who have seen the app, does it allow you to go back in time during a game, to a time before you started streaming, or is it live only?
Been in contact with NBC Sports, and they did indeed yank the app from Apple TV, due to huge bug that causes the video to stall and potentially freeze the Apple TV.
Might be a while before it comes back online, since it seems like they rushed the app out.
Good news though: You can airplay if you have iOS 8. (just remember to keep the app open the entire time)

That would explain why it isn't on there now. Thanks for making the call!
I just checked and it's now on my Apple TV 3. Authenticated and watched the end of the Red Wings-Lightning game on it, and it streamed flawlessly.
I see it this morning
But now the activation page on nbcsports.com is just hanging for the last 30 mins

Anyone in the UK using unblock.us been able to watch a premier league game ? I keep getting cant load content. I did get horse racing to stream tho
I'm worried they are some kind of extra checks on the premier league games.
Before anyone asks I do have a cable login and hbo, abc and fox are all streaming fine so I know my DNS is working correctly

Interesting Activation
When activating NBC Sports Live Exta I notice that I was given access to different channels of streaming depending if I was using Time Warner Cable or DirecTV as you can see if the pictures below. Has anyone else had this problem? I was expecting to get all of NBC Sports live coverages regardless of what channel they were being showing on.

IF you have a provider you can watch MLB games, and any other broadcast on ESPN on ATV or any other device. The provider must have ESPN or NBCSN streaming rights. Only internet provider that fits would be sling TV from Dish.
NBCSN doesn't isn't an MLB provider but you can get NHL playoffs.
I was just about to go with a streaming setup and this officially makes the Apple TV the choice device for me. Sports and especially live sports were a huge shortcoming when it comes to cord cutting with the Apple TV.
