It's ok. Not the best, but it works pretty well. I have a friend that's a Cubs fan and he bought it last year and I just piggybacked off him, so I had to buy it this year. I don't really use it other than having the occasional day game on at work. If you really want to see the Sox, though, it's worth it. Occasionally, you will get the other teams feed though.

diehard chisox 1427 Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 I bought it for a month because I go to school in Milwaukee and I wasn't able to see the Sox games during the first month of the season. The quality is not too bad, it's what i expected. For it's purpose, it was well worth the 15 bucks for a month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you really want to see the Sox, though, it's worth it. Occasionally, you will get the other teams feed though. I don't have DSL, but I tried it on my computer using the school's connection when they gave away a free preview week to start 2003. I was less than impressed, although that was probably in part a function of the quality of my computer - despite the fact its new, it's never played video all that well. Too many skips, not good enough images. I went ahead and purchased the MLB internet radio package, and I use that @ school instead. It's also not great in quality - lots of skips even over a fast connection, occasionally the audio will totally drop out and you'll need to restart, but it's better than nothing when you're sitting in an office processing data. I went ahead and got the MLB Extra Innings package from DirecTV, and am very happy I did. I wish I could get the Sox announcers more often, but at least i get the games and our guys 1/2 of the time. (Except when the games are on WCIU - don't they realize if they license to DirecTV, then more people will watch the game? AARRRGGGHHH) If memory serves...if you wait about another month, DirecTV et al. will start discounting their Extra Innings packages because of people like you who don't think 2/3 of the season is worth the full price. I believe last year they ran a free preview around the AS Break, and had a discount associated with it.

I agree, it is worth it. I was watching the Minnesota/Dodger game last night and seeing the Ex-Cub Hee Sop crank that HR off of Mullholland on the first pitch in the bottom of the 9th paid for the whole thing.

Tannerfan Posted June 11, 2005 Share Posted June 11, 2005 It's okay, but it does tend to freeze up now and then. Keep in mind that last year, Direct TV lowered the price of their Extra Innings package after the All Star break. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sportsden13 Posted June 11, 2005 Share Posted June 11, 2005 right now they have a special that if you try SI for 4 free issues you can get MLBTV for free even if you cancel SI after teh free issues. i did that since i just lost my directv(job loss). MLBTV is pretty good but i live in IN (near fort wayne)and both the cubs and sox games are blacked out. i cant see them until they are archived(usually an after the game is over). its a pretty cool thing but make sure your zip isnt in the blackout area(which is pretty substantial). hopefully i can get a job very soon and i can get my directv back and my extra innings subscription.
