DABearSoX Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Just got a new computer that I can hookup to my TV so looks like I will be going the MLB.tv route this year rather than the ripoff that is MLB extra innings. Just wondering for you that have had it is the premium version worth the extra money? I dont have an HDTV nor do I really care about other games that are on until we're in the hunt. Is it worth the extra 30 bucks to get to listen to hawk and stone every game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 How is Extra Innings a rip off? I love it and will miss it this year since it seems UVerse won't be getting it. I'll be getting MLB.tv like last year, but I couldn't hook it up to my TV for some reason. Just didn't work smoothly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DABearSoX Posted April 1, 2009 Author Share Posted April 1, 2009 b/c every year the price goes up like 25 bucks...I think I paid like 2 bills last year...purchasing it when I was a college student really set me back... mlb.tv basic is 80 bucks....for the same services extra innings offers...

nitetrain8601 Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Depending on how fast your internet is, I would probably go for Premium. Depends on your tv and internet connection again though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paint it Black Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Personally, I would just fork over the 30 extra bucks (cause it's what I'm going to end up doing when I get some money). Picture in picture idea is cool, DVR feature, and you don't have to listen to the other teams broadcasters (of if you want you obviously can).

Brian Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 (edited) Premium is great. Odd that I have Cleveland and Texas on and Lewin hasn't talked for like 10 minutes. Just ambience of the game. Nevermind. It's the Cleveland feed with no announcers. Edited April 6, 2009 by Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jphat007 Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 (edited) Premium gives you a chance to watch the feed in HD if available. You have to have a good comp and fast connection, but the picture quality is incredible. Plus you can choose which broadcast you want to watch. It's awesome.

Love that you dont have to close game down to switch feeds. Nice drop down menu. HD quality is so good it even looks good when I plug into my tv.

Chisoxfn Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 So the HD quality is really good? If so, I might cancel it on my cable and switch it over. Do I need an HD compatible computer though or is it okay as long as the TV Screen I hook it up to is HD? Also, have they fixed the buffering issues and all that. I have a connection that is way faster than necessary for the premium but always seemed to have problems (I'm over a wireless internet).

Mine was freeaing up and I dropped it down a few bars and it is fine. You would probably need an HDMI cable to go from your computer to your TV to do what you want.

Stocking Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 Being a MLB.tv owner, this being my 4th season, the quality is outstanding. Hard to belive how far they have come. Even on my old ass Acer, todays game ran flawless. Buy premium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonard Zelig Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Can anybody tell me what the blackout policy is? I live out of state. Also, can two people be signed in to the same mlb.tv account at the same time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 Paying for premium, I expect the highlights tab to updated a LOT more than it has through the days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
