I love MLB.TV

Post by mrbornac » Wed Apr 03, 2013 3:36 pm

Being able to listen to the White Sox games live while at work is awesome - if I felt more comfortable with my job, I would stream the video, but I don't want to tempt fate.

I just added SiriusXM radio online to my existing account (only an extra $3.50/mo. - not too shabby!) for the baseball season.

I hate MLB. TV. Living in Central Texas it blacks out *all* Rangers and Astros games. I have heard of folks subscribing through a proxy url or something, but I'd rather not.

Does this have black outs also?

Living in NC, I can watch my White Sox unless they are playing FOUR teams - Baltimore, Washington, Atlanta, and get this, Cincinnati. Somehow, Winston-Salem NC is in the "local area" for the fracking Reds.

I don't think so - its radio, not TV. Do you have SiriusXM in your car?

I guess I am lucky in Toronto. All Jays games are on TV through Sportsnet. Don't really watch too much of the games that don't involve the Jays.

Who said I had a car? ;)

Anyway, I started the free trial of SiriusXM last night and listened to the tail end of a couple of left coast games.

I buy the MLB Extra Innings package up here in Canada so I can watch Red Sox games, its going to be a rough year for having to deal and listen to all the Jays fans....

I think the SiriusXM Internet radio deal is the best option for me. It is cheap. I am not sure the MLB app (ap?) works for radio-only subscribers, whilst the SiriusXM one does, to my knowledge. Plus the SiriusXM Radio (so no, I do not have one in my car) includes a lot more than baseball.

That 3.50/mo. was a discounted price because I already have a SiriusXM subscription in my car... I really don't know how much it would be normally.

Yup, just figured that out. It's like 14 or 19$ a month. So MBA radio flat fee (<20$) is a bargain compared to that.
