I read somewhere that Dish has a satellite scheduled for launch at the end of December, but that one is for replacement/backup purposes. In any event, I assume the newer satellites generally have greater bandwidth/capacity than their predecessors.

Hopefully this means Dish also has an agreement to be one of the providers that can authenticate through MLB.tv. In other words, MLB.tv subscribers who also subscribe to the appropriate tier Dish package will be able to watch their local team's games on MLB.tv without being blacked out.
If it's like Center Ice, MLB provides the SD feed. So if it's Yankees and Mets, either YES or SNY in SD only. Dish provides HD for RSNs that they carry
No sh!t?!!!! I gotta check that out. I was going to buy the MLB.tv premium for $119....
Not quite. Blackout restrictions apply.
Users are blacked out....now pay attention......to any and all games in which any team which claims the user's IP Address Zip Code as inside their territory.

With the cat fight Dish decided to quit with MSG, YES and SNY, the NYC Feeds will most likely only appear is the Mets and Yankees face each other.
At least that is how the presentation is on NHL CI....
The Devils, Rangers and Islanders all broadcast on MSG....It is very rare for a Dish customer to see an MSG feed. Same goes for Buffalo Sabres viewers. They get the opposing team's feed.
I joined Dish after EI was dropped. It was that way on Comcast, before the whole mess with "DirecTV is the exclusive provider unless you buy stake in the MLB Net".
When I use MLB.TV's "Blackout Locator" it gives me a list of 2 teams that I will be blocked from seeing. When I type in my zip code, it gives me a list of 4 teams that I will be blocked from seeing. It's all the difference in the world for me, because my team is one of the two that is caught in the zip code listing. Should I risk buying mlb.tv because it says according to my computer that I will only be blocked from 2 teams?

"MLB.TV authentication is coming soon with your MLB EXTRA INNINGS subscription."
Any bets on the date of "coming soon"?
Probably to be expected based on the other packages (CI, LP) but my brother is a Welcome Pack subscriber and was told it would include MLB Network year round as well. Big deal for him and would sweeten the deal for a baseball fan with only Welcome or Smart Packs.
Welcome Package may include the MLB Network. What they mean is it will allow you to subscribe to EI as you can now to NBA Pass and CI and get it I suppose.
