MLB.TV compatibility

I signed up for MLB.TV in the middle of spring training and a few days before opening day MLB released their new player. So far I have had success with both a mac (OS X) and windows (2000 and XP) with the new player. For a mac I use the flip4mac plug-in to play the stream in a new Quicktime window. You can force a new window to open by fiddling with the system pref. If you have quicktime pro you can then go to full screen mode. When running windows, assuming you have Windows Media Player, you are ready to go.
It seems like it should be easier for a mac user, or MLB should offer the feed in Real format to accommodate more users.
