MLB on XM is Great

[Hokie]

I just got XM Radio and December and now they sign the deal with MLB. Sweet! Every game will be aired. It will be neat listening to the local announcing crews that are not normally available nationally.

1. on a related topic

know anyone who's ever purchases the MLB.com gamecast and what it is like? I don't want to invest in XM, but need a way to watch my Mets (crash and burn) from beyond the NY radio/TV area....

2. the streaming video product from MLB?

it's okay. $15 a month, or $70 for the season.

I always subscribe to Extra Innings, which is great. I use MLV.TV as a backup for blackouts -- for whatever reason, there are games on MLB.TV that aren't on Extra Innings.

3. thanks

I was planning on getting just the radio feed - which if the website is right is $15 for the season. But glad to hear from someone that it is worth it before I do.

4. read the blackout restrictions carefully.

MLB has the country carved up into marketing zones that don't necessarily make much sense . . .

5. MLB.tv is good

I don't watch enough, but for 3.95 a month you can watch any game that is on TV and not blocked out in your area. :)
