-- but I'm probably just going to stick with the $15 radio only level, at which you get 1 free game per day. At 15 games a day (or so), I'm figuring that's ~11 Cubs games I'll be able to actually watch live.

Wait, what?

If you use the iDevice app, you get all of Gameday Audio + 1 free game a day (via video) for $15?
Regular Gameday Audio runs $20, and is just the audio.

So I'm paying more for fewer features and a lack of portability?

Iowa always seems to get hosed on a majority of things. We're so close to KC, Mpls, and Chicago. I also have Directv and I switched when the games went from Fox Sports Chicago to Comcast. The local asshole cable company is Mediacom and they won't carry Comcast channels. So I switched and I'm thrilled to not give those douchenozzles my money.

Well, yes.

Luke's getting screwed, everybody.

Now I just have to figure out how to get the MLB.tv stream on my actual TV.

Most laptops have an HDMI output for television conversion.

An AppleTV will do the trick as well.

As a long time subscriber to MLB EI considering a switch, do you have to watch games live on MLB TV or are they archived?

[Brett]

They are archived, as well.

I'm at college in Milwaukee up on the 19th floor, so my AM radio doesn't seem to work ... probably going to buy MLB.tv tonight. Will be cool to hook it up to the PS3 as well, I'll just have to keep switching ethernet chords (stupid dorms). Also the fantasy side looks cool as well...live look-ins to your players around the league. woo!

Thought I'd bring this back to the top since it covers the blackout discussion that is being discussed concerning the WGN directTV thread

[Robbo]

Wrigleyville bars feeling your pain too, and going old school to get the games on TV!
