Just saw Directv is taking orders for MLB Extra innings.
215.94 x 1 payment or
35.99 x 6
I tried to get a discount, but because I'm still getting the new deals and rebates plus I got NFL free last season and 50 of NHL CI, and 50 off NBA LP,
I wasn't able to get a lower amount.
I wasn't complaining.
So I, just chose the 35.99 x6 option, and paid it with Feb bill, so 1 down 5 to go.
Just tested MLB.tv through the Samsung Blu ray player and I have to admit it was really good except for the buffering. But then, I turned the same game on EI and the picture absolutely blows MLB.TV away and obviously, no buffering through D*. EI wins.

The connection I have is as good as I can get. Even if I called to up the speed I only get it by Ethernet cable. Can't happen in my house. And that's fine. I'm more old school in how I want to watch anyway.

I watched mlb.tv on my LG bluray player today and picture quality was fantastic, i'm on a 20/896 Centurylink DSL connection, I would have to that the PQ was better than D at least for today

Regardless of device the highest quality stream offered by MLB.TV is 1280x720, ~4.5 Mbps, 29.97 (30) fps, half the framerate you'll get with DirecTV, lower resolution (depending on channels), and lower bitrate. Not going to look as good.

Perfectly put. MLB.TV is not going to be the PQ winner under any conditions versus Directv. The reason to go MLB.TV is price, portability, replays on demand and very good PQ. The reason to go Extra Innings is excellent PQ.
Sorry, but I need some help here. We have 4 HD TVs. On 3 of them the receivers list all the EI channels including the sub-channels (ie. 721-1). The main receiver, however, hgas dropped all but the SD channels. Can you tell me how I can get them back? Watching in SD isn't too satisfying. I'm guessing it's in my settings but I'm not sure what I need to do.
Thansk for your input.
Edit: Never mind. I went to the website and did a refresh for the receiver and then reset the remote to "Channels I Get". Somehow it had flipped to "Custom 1". All is okay now.

Have both and the PQ on my 55 inch Panasonic plasma is about the same on both MLB.tv and Extra Innings... Currently watching the Phillies game from yesterday and I'm getting a perfect 720p image with no ghosting, buffering or pixelating going on... Watching through the PS3 currently but checked out the Dodgers game last evening through Panasonic Viera connect... Same results..
Does anyone know if D* will have the MLB Network Strike Zone channel that Dish is carrying Tues & Fri nights starting April 10? The Game Mix channel is great but I miss Strike Zone.
I believe you can hide the SD channels using custom favorites.
That said, because there is (still) an occasional SD-only game, it is probably better to keep the SD channels in the guide to avoid missing something. If the day ever comes that every feed on EI is HD, then D* will remove the -1 suffixes from the HD channels, allowing the SD feeds to be automatically suppressed if you use that setup option.
