I hope they don't raise the rates

These are the last channels I will be watching. I hope they don't try to raise the rates because of this.

How about bringing MLB back to Verizon DSL like a number of years ago ?

Wish MLB.TV on the internet would lower prices

just lower the mlb.tv prices on the internet and i'll be happy.

going from $15 for just audio to around $100 for video doesn't make marketing sense to me.

Review those stupid blackout rules while you're at it

Lots of fans never go to a live game, yet they seem to think if it's blacked out I'm going to jump in my car and drive 500 miles to see it. If the game's sold out, show it.

Sorry but lost interest in baseball after 1996.

But that doesn't mean I won't sign up with FiOS TV .

Actually it's $120 a season if you want to stream at 1.2 Mbps. And you are telling me you can't tell the difference between audio and video? Let's see, even if I only watch Rays games that 75 cents per game. That's not a bad deal. whenever the NFL gets smart and allows Sunday Ticket to be sold online they for sure will charge me at least $200 a year for 16 Bucs games.

If you live 500 miles away I'm 100% posistive it won't be blacked out for you. It's only baclked out for people that live NEAR the home team.

Yeah, like I am going to be able to WATCH 162 games. Get real. There is no comparison between Sunday Ticket and MLB. There are just too many games with baseball.

They do if the game is sold out 72 hours prior to the start of the event.

You hit the nail on the head there bud. I'd gladly pay $100/year to watch any of NFL games on my PC. I do now on Supercast but they only stream on gameday and don't give you access to any game archives.

MLB does it right; as does the NHL and the NBA via online streaming.
