That is way too much for me. I am going to stick with MLB.TV Premium for half of that price.

More games to watch
More games in HD
More sources to watch games (game consoles, computers, tablets, mobile phones)
Available anywhere you have internet or 3G service
Available all year long, including the off-season

Yes, although the PQ is not as good as DirecTV, it is still very good and not that noticeable (depending on your network and your streaming device)

Called DirecTV and asked them if they could match the MLB.TV price and they said they couldn't.

Auto Renewal price is 6 payments of $34.99 or $209.94....saving a buck a month.....whoopie!

[DodgerKing]

Called three times today to see if they can give me any deal, and no dice at all.

If they cannot match MLB.TV, then I will just stick with MLB.TV for this year again.

The only reason I would prefer EI over MLB.TV if it were the same price is due to convenience of switching between a game and regular TV. With a SlingBox I will be able to stream my EI to just about everywhere, except work.

I'm with ya... I've yet to call.. Will do so tomorrow.. Will tell them that I'll be subscribing to Direct kick as well.

Called today and the guy flat-out lied to me. He said they do not and cannot give discounts on sports subscriptions and never have been allowed to do so. I told him that I understand if he wasn't able to do so, but don't tell me DirecTV cannot do so and never has done so when I have been offered discounts in the past directly from DirecTV (not an outside source) and others have been given discounts as well.

It is fine if they do not want to give me a deal, I understand that and do not expect it (I am just trying to negotiate to see if they are willing), but please to not lie about it.

I know what is going to happen as it happens just about every time. Right after I renew my MLB.TV subscription which is nonrefundable, DirecTV will call to offer me a discount, and by then it will be too late. I will tell them if they offered it to me when I called they would have my money, but now they get nothing as it is too late.

Oh well. MLB.TV has more to offer for less money and thus has more positives than EI. I am quite happy paying less for more and for more viewing options. It is worth the try to see what they can do.

I am a Dish customer but I'm pretty sure I will also be getting MLB.TV this season for my PS3. I would rather have EI but Dish doesn't offer it and I don't plan on switching unless Directv gives it away free for new customers like they did with Sunday Ticket this season. Even then its only a maybe.

I've never subscribed to an out of market sports package before but MLB.TV seems like a great deal. There are games every night of the week and for $120 or whatever it costs you can't beat it.

EI is $209, right ?

i am on auto renewal from last year. to me this is worth it as comcast limits my bandwidth to 250gb a month.
