    Yes, in fact you get more as we don't have any games blacked out.

    I'd say nearly all the posters here subscribe to it.

    Can't follow baseball from Ireland without it imo. Even with the worlds worst customer care it's still worth every penny.

    Did you follow the nonsense on the MLB forum when the condensed games were shrank to 7 minutes? Talk about ridicuous.

    I dunno, I'm only on the basic MLB.tv and I follow it fine. I haven't the bandwidth for a HD picture and no need to watch more than one game at a time.

    Is the premium option worth the extra money? Am I missing out?

    I didn't notice the problem for a couple weeks so only really saw the end of it. Went back to the start and seen the same aul B.S excuses from them. What was their reason anyway?

    based on customer feedback apparently! The reality is that they launched the CG on the iphone and didn't want them so long.

    I have the premium and I don't watch more than one game at a time. I think it is worth the extra because of the better picture. Once you get used to the so-called "HD" (it's pretty high def for an Internet stream), it's tough to watch the basic.

    It says you can pay by PayPal, but really you need a credit card either way... :(

    You can use 3v vouchers (3v.ie) with PayPal. Or just pay directly with 3v, I think that's how I payed this year's subscription.

    its something like $14.95 for the rest of the season


    Watching Giants V Padres now

    Didn't check but I presume this will not include Post season?

    Is there a Post season version?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,322 ✭✭✭Mad_Max


    to be honest I can't remember if there was last year. The package lets you listen to postseason games but last year I had NASN so didn't need it ....but that's eh not available to me anymore *cough* ;) so I sincerely hope there is a postseason version.

    That being said there are alternatives on the net for streaming :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,135 ✭✭✭boccy23


    Streaming is grand for big ball games, but not sure about Baseball.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,322 ✭✭✭Mad_Max


    I used to stream every game when I was living in new york and that stooopid blackout rule meant I couldn't get the MLB package.

    Was good enough, defo a helluva lot better than listening to it.
