The quality just isnt there. not worth the money to me

LAALLTHEWAY · 04-07-2007, 03:39 PM

how much is it? pay by monthly thing or annual?

**Chubz** · 04-08-2007, 11:23 AM

its monthly

I actually got the whole year for 119(premium) and I am actually satisfied with it. It's 40 bucks cheaper then extra innings and it has more options(mosaic) so I'm pretty happy.

Some of the features I like in the mosaic are the player alerts for fantasy players and that it allows you to watch 6 games at once with decent quality. When viewing the 700k feed its actually not bad. Of course you can't full screen it, but its find with half screen.

I give it a thumbs up

I was a little pissed that the Yankees game was blacked out yesterday. Something to consider as you won't catch all of the games. Of course I don't pay for it so I can't conplain too much.

ZCHF · 04-08-2007, 06:03 PM

Thanks a good point. I tried to watch a few games sat morning and it seemed like the blacked out a crapload of games(maybe 7). I was pretty pissed, but they didnt black out the later games including the angels so it wasn't too bad.

Full screen sucked on my pc monitor and I was really unhappy with it. I couldn't see myself watching an entire game in that small default sized box.
But....over the weekend my 50ft svideo cable arrived. I ran the cable from the tv out on my video card to the svideo in on my lcd tv. The result was a much better picture. Not sure if my pc monitor just sucks, or if the tv is just that much better. It wasn't as grainy and just being able to see the game on a tv instead of on my pc monitor was great.
It's still not broadcast quality, but as an out of market fan it will have to do for now

They finally realized that the splitter, and wires outside weren't in the best condition, which is why I wasn't getting ESPN, ESPN2, my movie channels, etc.

Ok so here is my beef with MLB.com.

I live in Bend Oregon. Basically if you grab a map its the dead center of oregon. We are 5 hours from Seattle and 15 hours from the Bay Area. Why is that important? Because according to MLB.com, I live in the home market of the Mariners, A's, adn Giants. Not that I really care about the AL West but I am missing out on watching 16 Padres games when they play the Giants because MLB thinks I can get them on cable. BAH!!!! Our cable company basically laughed at the idea.
