BIGDAY, do you have the regular or premium package, and does it work as advertised? I've been following NBA on the free sites but am considering getting the regular package for MLB season. Comments appreciated.

ebbearsfb1 · 03-08-12, 10:55 PM

I have it moshi... I have the premium package it automatically re news each year... mine renewed last week... pretty solid... I am usuallly able to watch day games at work ... so thry out the year its defintely worth the money... ii prefer it over trying to find games free on the net but everyone is different

ebbearsfb1 · 03-08-12, 10:56 PM

Won't share log in.. risk/reward not worth it, also if they catch you log on in multiple places they will take your mlb tv away

InTheDrink · 03-08-12, 11:05 PM

i have it

and i already share with a nephew halfway across the country and have been doing it for three years

absolutely zero risk if neither one does dumb shit....never would do it with a stranger though

rm18 · 03-08-12, 11:10 PM

I have it but cannot risk you messing up my joe dimaggio streak picks I am out to win the 5.6 million

moshi · 03-08-12, 11:12 PM

Thanks for the replies. Do you guys know how much broadband it takes up? I'm thinking the regular package looks good for the 6 months baseball goes for.

moshi · 03-08-12, 11:20 PM

Also wondering if any of you had any problems with it, like connection problems or freezing, etc.. That's probably the biggest issue with free links, apart from the fact that they aren't HD either.

InTheDrink · 03-08-12, 11:23 PM

not really...it's come a LONG way in the last 4 or 5 years

i wanna say the biggest thing about the premium is the choice of which team's broadcast you listen to and the dvr features....neither of which matter to me....there might be more to it but the quality is usually fine as long as you have a decent connection...i was watching the phils get smokebombed yesterday on my phone on a 3g connection and it was solid

zoo youk · 03-08-12, 11:29 PM

i have the premium package and i hook my tablet up to my tv and stream in HD works great

InTheDrink · 03-08-12, 11:31 PM

never tried that zoo...what kinda tablet

zoo youk · 03-08-12, 11:36 PM

samsung galaxy

CanuckG · 03-09-12, 01:06 AM

Got the premium package hooked up with android, laptop and xbox. love it.

I wish NBAtv had the home/away feature as well. So fukking annoying to have to listen to homer broadcasters when you are on the other team.

I mean, imagine fading the White Sox at home and having to listen do Hawk Harrelson and his homerish style.

Do they still blackout games? That is the only thing that has stopped me from getting MLBTV... I recall a ton of gams being blacked out a few years ago.

yeah they do and it depends on where you live

i live in sc so i only miss the braves games...no biggie since im not a fan and theyre on tv every game anyway

for someone that lives in ny/nj area i think has nym, nyy, phil and possibly bos games blacked out....that sucks

Fang-Banger · 03-11-12, 09:31 PM

Yes I have it. Would share if the point price was right

ebbearsfb1 · 03-11-12, 09:33 PM

Drink, I live in nj... they blockout. Mets/yankees, phillies orioles and nationals.. boston isn't blacked out as far as I know... I like the pirates and indians so its okay but kind of bs that 5 teams are blocked out... and on tv I don't get phillies orioles or nats

Fang-Banger · 03-11-12, 09:43 PM

I'm in jersey. Boston is not blacked out. Only Phillip, mets, yanks for me. I'm along the shore near Atlantic City

CanuckG · 03-11-12, 09:48 PM

Only Blue Jays are blacked out for me but it's perf since I get all their games on sportsnet anyways

ebbearsfb1 · 03-11-12, 09:59 PM

Hahaha.. watch it you southerner... lol...just kidding haha.. yeah. Don't ask me why the orioles are blacked out

jnickell100 · 03-11-12, 10:58 PM

Fang. Check your PM

BrianLaverty · 03-11-12, 11:21 PM

I live in RI and only have Red Sox blacked out... and obviously all those games are on NESN anyway.

You guys order it on the computer? Why don't you just get the package on your TV? Absolutely love it.

really doesnt make sense anymore....you can play the computer subscription on your tv through a bunch of devices and you can take it with you

mlbtv on the ipad is the single best reason to have an ipad

no...best improvement over last year...i didnt buy it for my phone just out of principle...when i added it to my ipad this year it automatically showed up on my iphone

dodger33 · 03-11-12, 11:47 PM

Had it two years ago and absolutely loved it. It is an absolute must if you are going to place a single dollar on mlb. Last year I was studying for the CPA exam but now I AM BACK.

jnickell100 · 03-12-12, 12:04 AM

Dodger. Assuming you're near LA......did they blackout dodger games??

dodger33 · 03-12-12, 12:12 AM

Yes they do. With the radio feed, now on am 570, and between kcal and fspt every single Dodger game is well within reach in the LA area. It would be nice to have on mlb.tv but its definitely black out.
