MinnesotaSoxFan Posted February 5, 2005 Share Posted February 5, 2005 I got an email yesterday, and I'm thinking of getting it. 50 cents per game since I did the math. Is there any problems with it or will it be a good idea to spend $79.95? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheKillerB's Posted February 5, 2005 Share Posted February 5, 2005 I thought about doing that MLB.tv thing last year while I was at the Univ of Iowa, but I decided to go with the cheaper alternative and go with the Gameday Audio deal which is 14.95. It's a good alternative if you dont want to spend 80 bucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a good alternative if you dont want to spend 80 bucks. The streaming quality was not good enough for me. I also went with the Gameday Audio. The only time I had a really clear picture was when the pitcher or hitter were not moving. Otherwise it was kind of blurry. Very hard to follow the flight of the ball. I am not a PC whiz, but I think you need certain minimum requirements, or the quality is lacking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wise Master Buehrle Posted February 5, 2005 Share Posted February 5, 2005 $80 is too much money. I'd just go with the audio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aboz56 Posted February 5, 2005 Share Posted February 5, 2005 Get the Extra Innings package, its available through DirecTV and most digital cable providers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3E8 Posted February 5, 2005 Share Posted February 5, 2005 I wouldn't buy it for $80. Wait until the last weeks of the season, when you get it for something ike $15. It then allows you to watch all postseason play, as well as all MLB games from the 2005 and 2004 seasons whenever you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3E8 Posted February 6, 2005 Share Posted February 6, 2005 Then it looks like you'll be dishing out 80 bones my man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitetrain8601 Posted February 6, 2005 Share Posted February 6, 2005 I personally liked it. You should have at least Cable internet though if you're going to watch it to get the streaming down. I connected the computer to the TV so I basically had Extra Innings package. I personally liked it and am going to get it again this year. This is especially good if you're somewhere else and still want to watch a game as most people have broadband connections these days.

DBAHO Posted February 6, 2005 Share Posted February 6, 2005 I'm thinking I may actually purchase it this year, since I saw all of 2 White Sox Games last season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texsox Posted February 6, 2005 Share Posted February 6, 2005 I signed up last season and for the most part it works well. When it doesn't, it really sucks. I have a cable modem and wireless network. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a sidenote, I'm with boz, extra innings is way badass and way worth it. At least for you out of towners and every cable network offers it or should.

daa84 Posted February 6, 2005 Share Posted February 6, 2005 i've had it for the past 2 seasons, and in my mind its no doubt worth it. it decent quality if you have a decent computer and high speed hook up. its not like watching the games on TV, but its a damn good alternative, id recommend it over the radio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the way I wrote that, it seems like some playoff games are restricted. But I like it because it's nice to watch and re-watch postseason games.

credescrew24 Posted February 6, 2005 Share Posted February 6, 2005 does anyone know if the spring trainning games covered on Comcast Chicago will be included in the xtra innings package or would u have to have that channel as well ...cause by having the regular channel it cuts off during the game time if u dont have xtra innings during the regular season....

I dont' think xtra innings starts till opening day. I know XM will televise the spring training games but I think thats the only way for us out of towners.
