I'm very torn now, I signed up MLB.TV Premium, but if MLBEI is going to be available what to do?? MLB.TV is 20 dollars cheaper a month, but I have to hook up my laptop to my TV.

 

Just as a precaution if MLBEI is not available...how are you hooking up your laptop to your tv?

VGA cable from laptop to TV. Audio out from laptop to stereo. I've tested it out, the picture is fairly good not as good as TV but pretty close.

Yes just alittle below TV quality on the TV, excellent quality on the computer.

Is anyone else having trouble logging in to mlb.tv? When I try it just sends me to an account preferences page, it never logs me in. Sort of frustrating.

not real happy with mlb.tv so far.

 

What is it you are not happy with?

 

lack of ST games. the schedule keeps changing, when i ordered it there were all kinds of games available (including the cubs game yesterday), now there are none on the schedule. the audio was not even decent yesterday. picture quality was not good on thursday, although its my understanding it'll be better during the season.

i was weighing EI vs MLB.tv and so far it looks like i picked poorly.

The audio did indeed suck monkey testicles yesterday.

Quite the opposite it will be truth, justice, and the american way. I will dance in the streets and thank God and all that is holy. I pray every day when I get up in the morning that someone stops the evil empire that is DirectTV and that normal hard working americans can enjoy the baseball that they love without switching to a piece of crap company that wants a monopoly on baseball.

 

Consumers of directTV might get more content and features but the rest of baseball fans that have always been willing to pay see thier teams

games on tv will be getting royaly reamed. No one should be forced to change television providers (a long arduous pain in the arse costing extra money and having to sign a contract for a product that I dont want) in order to watch the baseball games they want to see.

Selig says controversy over the proposed deal with DirectTV is "ridiculous."

 

Link.

 

Speaking to reporters before Saturday's Cubs-A's game, Selig called it "a slight controversy, in some places."

 

He pointed out the deal is close to being completed but is not done.

 

"I've heard for years we have too much product out there," Selig said.

 

"Everywhere I've gone … there's no market that has less than 350 to 400 [televised] games, and some [like Chicago] have quite a bit more than that. We have an enormous amount of product out there.

 

"As for this deal, what fascinates me is I have spent a lot of time going over it and trying to find out who can't get [DirecTV].

 

"We're down now to such small numbers, that I'm really wondering [about the fuss].

 

"… In a year or two, when people understand the significance of this deal … everybody will understand it."

He's all for advocating DirecTV's high bid to woo exclusive rights to MLB Extra Innings but he admonishes individual teams for outbidding other teams for players? That seems hypocritical.

Hypocrite is $elig's middle name. :D

What a moron, this guy just doesnt get it. Bud its not about being able to get DirectTV, its about not having to. We shouldnt be forced to purchase a service that we dont want in order to get MLBEI.

Stick to your wallet Bud!

 

Fixed.
