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.
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.

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.

 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.
