As a non-american MLB.tv was great this season! No blackouts, every game, hi-def, choice of home or away commentary. I would gladly pay for that every season, and for the NFL. I would even rather they show commercials instead of a blank screen.
That's somehow ironically funny. Someone outside of the US gets a better selection than someone inside the US, where the actual product "lives". Blackouts are messed up. And pretty easy to circumvent for online stuff like MLB.tv (if you have the knowledge and want to hassle with it).
That's funny because that's how soccer is becoming in America. We all EPL games on NBC's channels.
