Does this mean that if I get 36 Hotmail accounts, I can get MLB.TV for free all season?

You'd probably need 36 credit cards as well. I say it's worth trying though, I'd do it a few times, but I don't keep track of this kind of thing well so I'd end up incurring charges all over the place. I'm exactly the person they want to sign up for the "free trial."

I'm testing this out with premium but the feed is choppy. Not choppy enough to make it unwatchable, but enough to be annoying.

It looks like the free trial will only be available in April. Darn.
Is MLB.TV premium choppy like with a low frame rate or does it hiccup periodically? It looks like even MLB.TV standard wants 400kb/s. That's a significant amount of bandwidth over many home broadband connections.

so how far away from st louis do I have to move to not be in the blackout area? Cards games are blacked out on Fox Sports Midwest and MLB just 2 hours north of Stadium
