In Which Some Bloggers Realize the TV Industry is Imploding → Re: There is no real alternative

For less than the cost of one month of cable, I have 5 months of MLB. Plus, I get all of the out of town feeds - which I certainly couldn't get on regular cable. Mets games all week along - how about that... OTA+ROKU+MLB.tv = oh yea! Come the fall, I will swap out MLB for NBA and continue to get more sports than my neighbor on Comcrap for 1/3 the annual cost of his cable subscraption.

If you want to watch live games of your local MLB team that are broadcast on the local RSN, MLB.TV is not an option because those games will be blacked out. You can only watch those games on your local RSN by subscribing to a TV provider.

By the way, all you need to do get to get the out of town MLB games on a paid TV service is to subscribe to MLB Extra Innings. You will then have the games for your local teams plus all of the out of town games. You can't do both with no paid TV service and a subscription to MLB.TV.
