Is it worth the extra $30 to get MLB-TV Premium?

The benefits? Main benefit to me is 700K speed (as opposed to 400K speed). They're saying that the picture quality is 2x as good as last season.

The other benefit is that you can use "mosaic", meaning you can watch up to 6 games simultaneously. While that seems cool, I think I'll probably not use that very often. I mainly want to watch the Cardinals only.

Anyone else trying to decide on this?

im stickin' with regular

I'm going to go with the premium. One, I paid $159 last year for EI so even the Premium is cheaper. Two, it's better resolution and I plan on playing the games through the TV set.

You also get the MLB Audio or whatever, plus the ability to watch several games at once.

Hmm... good points. I'm reluctant though because I'm basically gonna be living out of a suitcase from April through July. I don't know how much internet access I'm gonna have during that time... And some places the speed might be extra slow.

I am going to get MLB-TV Premium. The mosaic, fantasy player windows, and audio of games all add up to it being worth it to me.

the only thing that would interest me in the premium would be the quality...but i didn't think it was really that bad last year...so, "eh"

Just purchase it monthly. It's either $15 or $20 a month depending on which package you go with and the full season is either $90 or $120. Supposedly they are going to show some (they say they will show 150 total, so that's 10 a team I guess) Spring Training games, so you would have to pay "extra" for the month of March if you go month-to-month. But, if your situation is going to be up in the air it might be the way to go, you could also test drive the premium and the standard this way if one or the other didn't suit you, for whatever reason.

I think I'm going to try one month of premium and see if it's worth it. I want to make sure the feed isn't going to be choppy on my connection.

Any mac users out there know if you can view the games in anything other than Windows Media Player? It's awful.
