Thoughts on MLB.tv?

I was about to sign up this year but saw this

Regular Season Weekend National Live Blackout: Due to MLB exclusivities, live games occurring each Saturday with a scheduled start time after 1:10 PM ET or before 7:05 PM ET and each Sunday with a scheduled start time after 5:00 PM ET, will be blacked out in the United States (including the territories of Guam and the U.S. Virgin Islands). In addition, in the event of extraordinary circumstances that produce a programming conflict, the above blackout windows may be subject to change. Live Audio of such games is available as part of any MLB.TV subscription Service, as part of the MLB.com Gameday Audio subscription Service and may be available as part of certain other of our subscription Services, including MLB.com At Bat.

Can anyone chime in on this? Most of my enjoyment would be on the weekends in the shed with a cigar. If is blacked out basically the whole weekend this is a no go.

You can cancel anytime, but your cancelation is good next season, so I have this for the year. The radio sound and animation are about 10 seconds apart. I lucked into a good deal on MLB Extra Innings, so I'm actually watching that mostly. Also, many of the neat extras don't work on Roku. Visiting my outlaws in Charlotte- Reds, Nationals, Orioles, Braves all blacked out! All those cities a long drive away!

I'm saving my money, too many blackouts.

Well, I really have been watching Extra Innings quite a bit. Might hafta get it again next year. MLB.TV is probably ok, but I like the choice to get all feeds on EI. Anybody using MLB.TV?
