Ordering MLBTV

[CrewDood]

How would a person from WI go about, if he is on the road around the country a lot, signing up for mlbtv so he could still see the Brewers while on the road?

 

Thanx in advance!

Just sign up for it.

 

When you connect to the site, it knows, based on your IP connection whether you are in a certain market or not, Then you get all the games you are eligible for.

 

I have the subscription and use it occasionally. It's easy, and the stream quality is pretty good.

I did have problems getting the Brewers feeds live when I was living in Minnesota, but had a WI billing address on your credit card. But that was in 2003, and I've heard reports saying that this isn't the case anymore. YMMV.

My credit card billing address is in Brookfield, but we're out of the country during most of the baseball season, so I get Brewers games. I think I might actually get all the games, as I'm not in any team's "home territory"--at least I don't think so. . .

I'm in the Twin Cities and I can watch every Brewers game on MLB.tv (except when they are playing here in Minnesota). I believe my billing address is in WI as well, but am not 100% positive.

 

As others have said, just sign up through the MLB.com website. If you are interested in HD Quality, DVR capabilities, and watching up to four games simultaneously, than make sure to get the premium subscription. This is my 2nd year having MLB.tv and I love it.

I watch every Brewers game on MLB.tv that I can here in Vegas. Believe it or not, even though there is no major league team here, I am still in the viewing area for the (wait for it) Diamondbacks, Padres, Dodgers, Angels, Giants, and Athletics. So whenever the Brewers have a west coast trip, even interleague, I am pretty much screwed. Sometimes I can find the Padres or Dbacks on Directv but that's it.

Thanx, guys.

 

On the 29th I saw they were still asking like $64.95 for the remainder of the season and that is the full season price, IIRC. I called and asked, among other things, about a discount for the second half. The guy had me try plugging in a code he gave me and just knocked it down to like $57. I told him that was still too much and we left it at that. Now, yesterday I got an email saying the price is down to $34.95 so I went to plug in that code and it came down to $27.xx. I thought that was a deal and signed up for it. I had already tried it out in the past with some free trials so I know how good it is these days! The best thing I found out about it, even though I could not pick up the Crew game last night (I had it on the tube anyway) but it would give you live, up to the second, radio of either. So, when I get tired of BA and Rock again, I can mute it and listen to Bob and Corey without there being any 5 second timing being off.

 

Sweet!

Only partially related to this thread, but I just tried putting on the Padres game (I'm in Michigan) and it came up with two options: "Out-of-market package" and "In-market package". For those who have Cox high speed internet within the Padres home television territory, they'll let them watch the channel 4-San Diego broadcast for 49.95 yearly. Is this a step towards no/less blackout restrictions? I hope so.
