I didn't realize it was up to $200.00 a year for Extra Innings.
I tried the MLBTV online last year but was no impressed. I'm debating trying it again this year. Hopefully they have improved on some of the problems they had.
Quote:Members of Congress and others have criticized Major League Baseball for its $700 million deal with satellite provider DirecTV to air the league's "Extra Innings" package, which allows fans to watch up to 60 out-of-market games a week for an annual subscription of $160 to $200.
The deal requires cable companies to match the terms offered by DirecTV, including a commitment to carry The Baseball Channel when it launches in 2009.
So far the cable companies have refused to do so, though negotiations continue. If a deal is not reached, it means that about 230,000 cable customers who previously subscribed to the Extra Innings package will lose access unless they switch to DirecT
