Does anyone have any experience with MLB Gameday Audio?
I miss hearing Milo Hamilton call the Astros games, and was wondering if it's worth paying MLB's extortion rate for games.

Has anyone tried it? Is the connectivity good?

1. Well worth it at $14.95 for the entire season
That includes all the teams, including spring training

2. It's usually quite good
They had some problems in 2005 with audio quality, at least on Dodgers games, but I didn't notice any the following year. The only issue I have with them is the delay, which ranges from 30 seconds to a minute, but that's not a deal if I'm not simulcasting with the teevee.

I've since switched to XM Radio, though, as I got tired of having to sit at the computer or run wires all over the place to an extension speaker. Now, though, I kind of wish I hadn't because the extra cost ($15 per month) for portability isn't really worth the negatives: It's not always possible to get a good satellite signal because the antenna has to face south and be free of obstruction, and, mainly, XM carries only the home club's broadcast, so for 81 games I have to put up with the likes of the Padres' Ted Leitner, who makes me ill.

3. Yep, I like it
I only use it when I'm at work and they're playing an afternoon game, but I think it's worth the money.
