Proxy authentication, MLB.TV

MLB.TV has no clue.  I am trying to run either their streaming product with Silverlight installed, behind a proxy, and it will not request proxy authentication.  If I remove Silverlight everythign works fine; requests proxy authentication and stream is initiated.

Is there a Silverlight config file that can be editted to ensure that it requests proxy authentication?

I think that what MLB is doing is if Silverlight is installed, it is using it so when you uninstall it, its using their older Flash-based player.  There may be a bug with teh Proxy auth in Silverlight, perhaps someone with more video expertise will chime in.

Yep, that is exactly what it is doing.  MLB does not offer an option to select with/without Silverlight.  I have had to remove it completely from the PC in order to ensure I could watch the feeds. Hope someone from Microsoft will chime in.  Seems like all we need is a proxy auth options in the config to allow it to prompt for authentication or use (correctly) IE's settings.
