First of all I am hoping that Tmobile does the free promotion again. If not, wanted to go ahead and gauge the interest in grouping up and splitting the cost of a yearly sub. Get 2-4 people and it becomes pretty cheap. Interested?

I might be. What is the cost again?

For all teams is around $115. And they are adding additional feature called Follow your team which allows you to watch in market games if you are in ATL for an additional $10.

They also have a 1 team package that is around $90, but doesnt seem worth compared to the other one.

I'm interested too - also contingent on T-Mobile providing it again.
 
Be a bum on the street for 2 days and you have enough to pay for the subscription.
 
so, it seems like every year they say "hey, you can get in market games this year." And then you can never get in market games. Is that finally happening?

Last year they gave away free MLB TV for a year if you registered on their network. It happened like 3 days before season started or something like that. Was great. Hoping for same thing again.

Nice. Hope that's the case this season too.

Yes it will.

Here's where it becomes trouble:

Say you Turbo are the person who creates the account and you live in Cincinnati, Ohio. Therefore you will be blacked out of your regional games (Reds/Cleveland/etc) whomever they are, because on your billing info the zip code you entered is considered your "home". Now let's say Hawk lives in Charlotte, NC and will be blacked out of Braves games. Where the problem comes into to play is when you and Hawk log into the account and he wants to watch a Reds game (which you the cardholder are blacked out of) and he can't. So multiply this times 3-5 people and you could possibly be blacked out of multiple cities. Now, if all parties involved are around the same area and will be blacked out of the same games then it wouldn't be a problem.

Only reason I know this is because I've had a subscription to MLBtv.com for 7 years now and gave a good friend my login info for him to use. I'm from South Carolina and should only be blacked out of Braves games but when he logged in from Virigina, I was then blacked out of Reds, O's, Nationals, and Braves. For 3 straight years, at the beginning of each season on opening day I spent 1-2 hours on the phone with MLBtv trying to figure out why I was blacked out of these games and they would have to go thru the process of reseting my account and location. I really enjoying watching the multi view screen where you can watch 4 games at once, and usually have the Mets/Gnats/Phillies/Marlins on along with teams who's announcers I enjoy, Dodgers were one with Vin (going to miss that voice), Dbacks with Steve Berthiaume, Brewers with Bill Schroeder and Brian Anderson, Giants with Duane Kuiper and Mike Krukow, .etc so this is how I found out I was blacked on of those games. Sucks because even though they may have been playing on the road it didn't matter.

Not trying to say it won't work but just be prepared that you'll encounter more blackouts from whichever city the participants are currently in.
