I am a premium subscriber to MLB.TV. This allows me to watch baseball games streaming live at 700k. The problem is that I can’t watch my local team, the Colorado Rockies because they are blacked out.
I don’t usually have a problem with this except when I am traveling or the game is not broadcast on TV.
For example, I am home today still recovering from a surgery and the game is not being broadcast on local television. But because Major League Baseball blacks out all games of the team in your local market, I can’t watch it.
Major League Baseball should make exceptions for games that are not being broadcast locally and allow people to watch them over the Internet. Especially if they are paying over $125 for the season to subscribe.
Traveling is a different matter. I guess I will go with Slingbox to watch the games while I am away. That is if MLB doesn’t shut them down.
Well I will be listening to the game on the radio today. Go Rockies!
