Thanks Kyle, you were right on the feed.

I am already annoyed with MLB.TV. I still don't think that the feed is clean enough to watch full screen on a computer, let alone trying to hook it up to my TV. I know this is better than not getting to watch at all but I have been spoiled by MLB EI the past few years.

Do you have premium?

Full screen for me doesn't look that good, but then again, I have a 1680 x 1050 resolution...

For the Comcast rebate, it says that you have to send in the confirmation email the MLB sent after ordering the package. My email doesn't say anything in the body of the email. All it has is a subject line that reads:

Subject : MLB.com Purchase Confirmation

This isn't going to fly is it?

Very much appreciated!

The good news is the Cards are on TV tonight(ESPN2), and off tomorrow. I would like to see some other games, but I'm holding off until Friday. Kind of stunk keeping tabs on the game last night with gameday, that thing is a joke.

Dear Valued Customer,

Thank you for your recent email. I understand and will be assist you. Cablevision is still pursuing efforts to enable us to offer our customers the MLB Extra Innings season package. In the meantime -- you can sign up for the yearly MLB.TV online package, which features all the same games as MLB Extra Innings, and we'll credit your Cablevision account $15 a month for the entire 6-month baseball season. Basically, once you've received the credit, you'll be getting the games subscription for free on Optimum Online.

To get the credit, simply go to MLB.com and sign up for the online season pass. Then, send us a copy of your MLB.TV purchase confirmation along with your name and address (or Cablevision account number).

Proof of purchase can be submitted via e-mail, fax or mail (Cablevision Research and Support, c/o MLB Offer, 1111 Stewart Ave., Bethpage, NY 11714, Email: SPECACCT@cablevision.com or Fax: 516-803-2290).

Should you have any other inquiries, please contact us at http://www.Cablevision.com
