MLB.tv

I don't have cable and even if I did, I'm not in the market for my favorite team. I was thinking about getting mlb.tv this year. My bro has had the radio subscription for a couple years, and I've been satisfied when he's let me use it. However, most of what I've read here and there about the TV package has been negative.

Has anyone here used it, and is it a good deal?

i used it last year, it was 'ok'.

the premium service is apparently twice as clear as before. check out the free sample on the site.

this year will be my third with mlb.tv

i only plan on using it for the first half of the season, though, i'll be switching to direcTV (most likely) after that

i used it last year it was ok. But at the time I had a crap monitor. Like anything its a good deal if you get your monies worth.

I used it last year and the resolution at full screen on my computer was poor. This year, they are doubling the quality ($20 extra for premium package, I believe). I hooked it up to my big screen with the sample clip of that resolution and it looked reasonably good.

It's GREAT if you are going to be on your computer(poker) often at those hours.

If the new premium service is any good, it will be good for watching hooked up to a TV as well - it looked passable when doing this last year. Had it last year and definitely buying again.

so, none of the ST games are in the high res format, right?
