( WIRED ) -- If you 're a die-hard baseball or basketball fan , Steve Jobs just made your day . With its latest software update for Apple TV , Apple is now offering easy streaming of MLB and NBA games directly through its $ 100 media-streaming unit . All you need an active subscription to either service , and you can have unlimited access to every baseball and basketball game through your Apple TV , subject to local blackout rules , of course . MLB.TV streaming had previously been available for Roku and PlayStation 3 , but built-in Apple TV functionality brings an ease of use and integration previously unseen . There are two subscription models for MLB.TV , $ 100 a year for standard and $ 120 for the premium offering ( which boasts home and away broadcasts , in-game DVR capability , and different camera options ) . NBA League Pass has also been available for online streaming and directly mobile apps for Android and iOS , and the Apple TV bundle comes in two sizes : a $ 65 option if you pick seven teams to watch , as well as $ 100 for unlimited streaming . ( Although , real penny-pinchers could just purchase the mobile version , which costs $ 70 less than the Apple TV version , and just AirPlay that to your HDTV , another new feature of iOS 4.3 . ) How much more business will the move bring in for Apple , MLB and the NBA ? Millions of dollars over time , although much more Apple TV penetration will be needed before that comes to bear . ( It 's been less than three months since the company announced sales of 1 million Apple TVs . ) But if you 're a sports fan who has been hesitant to plunk down a Benjamin for Apple 's media-streaming marvel , this update just made your resistance all the more futile .
