Mlb.tv for out of area fans?

I just subscribed to it this spring. I love it already. I bought the standard package and at least this spring I have been able to get home and away broadcasts. The other premium features like DVR I didn’t care much about and that’s why I went with the standard package. To be honest, I did MLB extra innings last year and kind of liked it when the Braves played an away game so I could hear the opposing announcers thoughts.

As long as you’re not in a blackout area it’s pretty awesome. But be prepared to be blacked out of several games a year. I live in central north carolina and somehow i’m in the local blackout area for all oriole and nationals games. If the bravos are playing either of them, i’m shit out of luck for that day. National broadcasts work the same way, if fox saturday has the rights to the game then you’ll be blacked out for that one too. If you’re in Louisiana then you’ll probably be blacked out of astros and rangers games but probably not others. There is a blackout map somewhere on the mlb site so you can see exactly what kind of area coverage you have.

I roll with the MLB.TV premium. The best $120 you will EVER spend. EVER. It comes in High-Def (most games), so if you have a laptop and an HDTV you can run an HDMI cable between them and its every game on your TV in HD. Also, I love the DVR feature. I have a night class at college, so I can just start the game Top 1 when I get back and be able to watch the whole game. Honestly, it’s amazing

I used it last year and I’m signing up again this year. Premium is most excellent, everything is in HD. I’m in a blackout area for the Braves, but I bought the package cuz I work a metric ton of night shifts at a sandwich shop and miss most of the games, so I go home on those nights and dial up the archive and watch ‘em anyway. If I happen to be home I just watch the broadcast on cable and use mlb.tv to follow my fantasy players. If you’re out of the blackout area, though, this is a no-brainer, especially if you have a hook-up to your TV like I do with my laptop.

been a subscriber for about 4 or 5 years. Seems to get better every year. If you have a good connection and a computer that meets their requirements then I say go for it.

Worth every penny already in my opinion.

but that’s just cause I don’t always have access to a computer during games and i’d rather watch on my 50inch plasma instead of my 15inch monitor. That and it goes to every tv in the house so you can watch anywhere.

And so far I like what I am seeing this spring. They just got it working on my iPhone with MLB at bat 2010 app today and although it was a bit grainy and hard to see the ball because it is such a small screen so I prob won’t use it much on my phone. Had to do it though once TBS dropped the Braves. Spent the last couple of seasons without the games and it has sucked to be at the mercy of ESPN for games. Plus, this way I shouldn’t have to listen to that blowhard Joe Morgan and crew when I do get to watch the game.
