wtf why would directv not have tbs? i assume they have other time warner channels...

Directv does have TBS, and Turner South, and Fox Sports South, and a hundred other channels. We shut it off because it was draining $$ and IQ points, but I still want my baseball.

I bought the Gameday Audio today, a better choice all around anyway. The video was using enough bandwidth to make everything else sluggish, and with the audio I can follow the games without giving up any monitor space while I'm working. Listened to the Baltimore comeback, HAHAHA.

How much is the Gameday Audio?

gygax! (gygax!), Monday, 18 April 2005 22:43 (nineteen years ago) link

$15 for the season. I've been on the phone every day with their tech support people about the shitty audio quality -- I know these feeds are mostly from AM radio stations, but it sounds like MLB has little mics set up in front of a bunch of 30-year-old transistor radios. They keep saying, "Uh, well, clear your cache, and, uh..." and I'm all "THIS IS NOT A COMPUTER PROBLEM AT MY END, CHUCK, THIS IS AN AUDIO ENGINEERING PROBLEM AT YOUR END!"

Still... $15 for the whole season. Not bad.

does anyone else here prefer listening to games on the radio over watching them on tv? this is a prejudice i blame on my dad but i find it sort of hard to watch games on TV. maybe im just used to john sterling.

actually the only thing good about the yankees is their tv color guys

35 on the audio player is really cool. 1939 broadcast of a game between the Indians and the Senators.

eight years pass...

the a's will no longer broadcast on terrestrial radio; games will only be available through the app or tunein

seems a little premature to me -- is it that common and easy to get web streams in yr car?

For what it's worth, they said the same thing last year and then ultimately found a station later in the spring.

yeah i think for some reason they’ve had trouble for years getting a good radio station

Coming back from a movie in London tonight, I set the AM band on scan in search of a Jays score; landed on a game, and what do you know, it was the Cardinals and Dodgers on KMOX. The signal was 95% clear right into St. Marys. I even remembered the call letters immediately--probably knew them from something James wrote about Harry Caray.
