Between now and Raleigh, we will look into incorporating this functionality into our security procedures, but taking steps to address the issue while the tournament is live runs a high risk of interfering with the broadcasts. Therefore, if you want to watch more than one stream at once, only one can run in HQ; the other(s) can run in Medium or Low quality. You can easily swap which stream you’re watching in HQ by lowering the quality on one, and signing in to the other with your Membership code. Thank you for your patience, and enjoy the tournament! http://pro.majorleaguegaming.com/news/an-important-announcement-for-viewers-with-hq-access | ||

They hope to have it fixed for Raleigh and I really hope they do, didn't know about this going into buying a membership and it's a real bummer considering how I had 2 hq streams open for all of Columbus. That being said, the Ultra quality is stellar for me, hope it doesn't dip when games actually start like it has for past MLGs. | ||

Edit: whoops, it's one authorization code per one HQ stream. Thought it was about the free ones without the code. | ||

This is the same kind of crap satellite TV providers pulled for years, if you want to watch something different on a different TV you need two (or more depending on how many TVs you have) receivers, and guess what they both cost the same. Eventually the satellite companies realized people were leaving them for cable in part because of bullshit policies like that so they changed them and developed new technology so you don't need a full receiver for each television, hopefully MLG will realize that one day this move will bite them in the ass and change course. | ||

 Edit: I don't get why people complain that much about it. If I understand it correctly, buying the Silver Membership gives you 3 month of those "membership-features", which means that for what used to be the price of one, I now get 3 events in HQ (Anaheim, Raleigh & Orlando)? I can live with 1 HQ stream, with no lag or interruptions this one event. | ||

And not only can you not have two open at once, but if you switch streams you have to sit through extra commercials each time, right? Ya but see Blizzard gets half that ad revenue, I bet MLG gets 100% of the revenue from selling HQ passes. Last MLG they gave us HD free for the weekend and now people are bitching about this? Let them make their money They already are making money from selling HQ passes, now they're just being greedy about it. It'd be like if you have all Horde characters on WoW (you're watching HD MLG Red Stream) and want to make an Alliance (watch HD MLG Blue Stream too at the same time), guess what? You need to pay double the monthly fee, that's two different sides (streams) to play (watch in HD)! | ||
