April 2, 201115 yr For the first week of the regular season, MLB Extra Innings is free in most cable and satellite markets. It may or may not be in your market, but it's a heads-up that it could be!
April 2, 201115 yr Awesome, first I've heard of this and it works. Comcast always tells me about Wrestlemania but never when there's free MLB or Showtime previews
April 2, 201115 yr ive got directTV and i noticed today that my fox sports channels work, i was able to flip between the sox and twins game, i wonder if this is just a week thing too or if i just never noticed i get these channels.
April 2, 201115 yr I am such a dumbass. I was following on CBS Sportsline then remembers I have WGN not that I switched to Direct TV. At least I caught the final three innings.
April 3, 201115 yr QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Apr 2, 2011 -> 04:46 PM) I was surprised today's game wasn't blacked out due to the Fox rule. I don't think that starts for a while.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 2, 2011 -> 07:45 PM) I don't think that starts for a while. The game started at noon, which is the latest a game can start without being in the blackout window. A bunch of other games were played at the same time.
April 3, 201115 yr QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 2, 2011 -> 08:45 PM) I don't think that starts for a while. Actually, I think the "Fox Rule" didn't count here since the game started at 1:00 and the FOX game didn't start until 4.

Starting last season, the Fox games start at 3 Central Time. STL vs. SD was shown in Chicago and NY/Det elsewhere.The game was good to go today because of the early start.

It may or may not be in your market, but it's a heads-up that it could be! I thank you for mentioning this fact. I believe we have hat on local cable and I can use it TODAY!
April 3, 201115 yr QUOTE (knightni @ Apr 2, 2011 -> 09:51 AM) For the first week of the regular season, MLB Extra Innings is free in most cable and satellite markets. I see that Comcast is broadcasting a whopping one game per day in HD. Why in the heck would I want to pay to watch games in regular def? I'm seriously considering dumping them and getting DirecTV.

I'm seriously considering dumping them and getting DirecTV. DirecTV has just about every game in HD, for both team's broadcast too...I couldn't be more happy with their Extra Inning's package...

April 3, 201115 yr Well, I watched the game. Danks was dominant and then ... Well, it was a Sox game anyway
April 3, 201115 yr How can people have thousands of posts on here, live out of town and NOT have Extra Innings? I have it so I can watch most of the blackedout WCIU games on 1/8th of the sportsmix screen.
April 3, 201115 yr QUOTE (GREEDY @ Apr 3, 2011 -> 04:52 PM) How can people have thousands of posts on here, live out of town and NOT have Extra Innings? $200 is a lot of money.
April 3, 201115 yr QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 3, 2011 -> 03:52 PM) $200 is a lot of money. Of course it is, but if I had no way of watching the Sox otherwise I'd pay that in a heartbeat. And mlb.tv is $120.
April 3, 201115 yr I have Comcast and it appears that NHL Center Ice is included in the free preview for all you hockey fans out there.
April 3, 201115 yr QUOTE (OsweGo-Go Sox @ Apr 3, 2011 -> 02:58 PM) Of course it is, but if I had no way of watching the Sox otherwise I'd pay that in a heartbeat. And mlb.tv is $120. Some people are at work when the Sox night games are televised at 5 pm. So paying $15 for the MLB At Bat app makes more sense Monday through Friday.

April 4, 201115 yr QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 3, 2011 -> 03:52 PM) $200 is a lot of money. I won't make the obvious: "how can you have time to make thousands of posts to an internet board about the white sox, but not have $200 to watch the games" comment.
April 4, 201115 yr I have gotten MLB.tv for two years in a row now, it's cheaper than Directv package, and you can watch games that are already over so I don't have to be home to watch the sox games i can watch whenever i want, thats the best feature for me, plus you skip commercials too, kinda nice, its just like a dvr
