    MLB.tv

    FYI all of last year's subscribers will be charged if you dont cxl now

    keeping it is a no brainer to me....even if they do fuk us by discounting too heavily later in the year

    There is no action required for you to continue your current subscription. The payment card you have on file with us will be charged $129.99 prior to the beginning of live Spring Training games, on or about February 19, 2014. As we have done in the past, your subscription will automatically renew next year on or about the anniversary date at the prior year's regular full yearly price. To ensure uninterrupted access to your MLB.TV Premium subscription, in the event that we are unable to process charges to your primary payment card we will charge the alternate card(s) saved in your MLB.com Payment Profile.

    why would anyone not get this? especially for euros like me who don't have access to us channels and would have to watch these games on awful quality streams.

    Count me in for another season, Drinker.

    edit -- Never mind. Looked it up on the mlbtv website and confirmed you can use ps3 AND ps4 to watch games this season. Spring training games will be ps3 only.

    I just can't watch that much baseball. I watch cardinal gms or more accurately they are on the tv wherever I'm at but far as other teams it doesn't matter how much I bet I'd rather just check the scores later..from time to time I'll go to bar up the street that has it if there a gm I'm really interested in but the year I had the package it seemed like a waste to me o
    Cause I doubt I sat thru 10 non cards gms all season..I carry the NCAA hoops package and Sunday ticket but even tho I love bases every cardinal gm on and that more than enough for me..

    i hear you 2db its not for everyone

    if anything for me just having the ability to see great pitching matchups makes it worthwhile...and with the state of pitching in mlb they are happening all the time

    That is true but I can walk to bar if there 1 I really wanna see plus I do watching bases much better with few beers and ppl to talk to. I guess the other thing is I work stupid hours in the summer, get home shower, eat, then go to gym, by time I'm done all that left is few innings of the left coast games...

    Between the MLB channel, ESPN, and Dbacks games on FSN, I get plenty of baseball. Good to have for sweating games though.

    To be honest, I don't watch MLB.TV enough to truly make it worth my while. I actually get Rangers and Astros games where I live, so I have plenty of options for watching baseball without MLB.TV. I just like to know that any time I want to watch a game, I can ... except for FOX's Saturday games. But there are ways to work around the blackout.

    Fook shitty streams or even PAYING to watch this. Looking up local radio station streams and sweating it out that way is MUCH more nostalgic and effective. MLB is a sport you don't need to WATCH to cap..

    It's funny because it's true.

    I was too buried with work to watch most of the playoff games last postseason, so I often listened to at least the first six or seven innings of a game (if not the entire game) on the radio. It's an underrated way to sweat out action.

    Sweating out football over the radio isn't as fun, but I still enjoy it at times.

    It is the same for Direct tv.All Sports packages are automatically renewed if you do not call up and cancel.For me sport packages are a necessity because I live in the middle of Iowa and I love the West coast teams.Clippers,Dodgers,Kings.

    really nothing I miss more not gambling than being able to bet on any meaningless game I want and get to watch it.

    Of the available online services such as nhl gamecenter live, nba.tv, it is probably the worst of the bunch, especially if you plan on using your ps3/4 or xbox to stream games on your tv. Very unstable and there's always a host of bugs that they never iron out, such as the constant stream quality adjusting on the PS3. There are times when streaming games through your video game device is completely unbearable and there are other times, when it works without any issue. The worst is when the app, during the process of adjusting the stream quality, pauses and then skips ahead or loops back. It would be nice if they allowed you to select a stream quality setting, as they do when viewing games from your laptop or PC.

    still, it's all that's available and I'll be subscriping to it for a 4th or 5th year in a row.

    it's a nice novelty to watch games on your phone/lpad and to get spring training coverage. I think I'd rather just get the mlb package on my normal cable provider at this point though. Having to turn on my xbox and scroll around is not worth the hassle

    Yeah I got the playoff special year before last and they hit me for a $100 or more at the beginning of the season. Called and they gave it back.
