I have been eyeing this service for about a year, but I never was in a position to spend the money....finally, I decided to take the plunge and plunk down $19.95 for a month....let me just start my review by saying: Wow.... I watched the Cubs this afternoon in high def, a game I normally would have missed since I am not in Chicago....you can pause anytime you want and not miss a moment....I think the most impressive feature is that all the games are archived, so if the Cubs start at 2:20(as they often do), but I cant watch, I can opt to hide the scores and then start the game whenever I want and watch it as if its live....you can also watch condensed games, which only show pitches that advance the game, such as hits, walks, and outs....suddenly a 3 hr game lasts 20 minutes.... Another nice feature is picture in picture and multifeeds....you can watch up to 4 games at one time if you want....I am currently watching the Giants and Dodgers in the big window and the Angels and Mariners in the small box....What a treat it is to listen to Vin Scully. He is incredible calling a game and hes by himself. Ive never had the chance to really sit and listen to him spin the scene into gold. Clayton Kershaw is damn filthy tonight. The Giant hitters look silly so far. Overall, if you enjoy baseball, I recommend the service. It is $19.95 a month or $119.95 for the year. About a 3rd of the price of NFL Sunday Ticket(which I also love), but about 5x the content....
I just found the 1st chink in the armor boys....All games on the weekends within a certain time frame are blacked out....so if I want to watch the Cubs today, its on tape delay or not at all....
I wasnt sure how it would work, but I know now....it was made available 45 minutes after the game ended....by then, I had accidentally been tipped off on the final(its really hard not to see a score when you are awake and active)....I still plan to use the tape delay features for afternoon games when I have to sleep, but on the weekends, it may be too hard to avoid the result....
