Hi Folks. Some of you don't know me, but those who do know I'm not a crook. Well they really have no idea I guess but some of them might say it to look like cool forum veterans. They're the real dorks.
Anyways...does anyone have an MLB.TV password they can lend me? I want to see if it'll stream on my very old, very crappy computer before paying for it. I realize it might catch on to someone logging on from a different IP, but I presume they wouldn't have a big problem with that as long as it wasn't at the same time. I'd co-ordinate with you to avoid that.
Also, how do people find it? I'd likely buy the cheaper version as I don't see many benefits of the premium one. Can you go back to a previous date without it telling you the score?

Well, I only loan mine to current members of the sick thread.
Currently (and the for the past 5 years) I've gone with 3-6 people on one or two accounts, and tried to split the difference for the year. Currently, I'd have to recommend you go with the hi-def settings, as it is way more than worth the extra ~$40 for the quality of HD games. I also have the comcast cable package, and I only get 1-2 HD games a nights. With the internets, its almost every game in HD.
That being said, my iffy-cable connection doesn't stream as well as it should, and watching 4 HD games at once tends to take up a bit of bandwidth. If bw isn't an issue, then I don't know how a crappy old computer will run HD-quality stuff. My computer isn't anywhere near top of the line, but it's not awful either.
Also, I'm not giving you my password. Sorry. I think they have monthly sign-up things. If not, sorry. Spend the money, its one of the best deals in sports right now.

Thanks for the info Mr Flu. What about the score issue? i.e. if I want to watch a Jays game from Mid-April, does it just list the team and opponent, or does it actually show you the score of the game when you are selecting?

They don't show the score for archived games before you watch.
I got mlb.tv for 2 months last season but my internet connection @ school sucked and it just was frustrating. The only way I got a constant stream was on the low setting and the games looked really crappy. So it's a good idea to make sure your connection is good before paying.
