Is there an alternative to cable/DirectTV to watch Reds games

I dont have cable or any of that because for the most part I think TV is pretty boring.

But I do like watching the Reds though. I live in Cincinnati. Is Cable/DirectTV my only option?

MLB.TV is the only other option of which I'm aware.

Get mlb.tv, use the fullscreen option and connect your pc to your tv (may need to buy a special cable) Then you can watch games for about half the cost of extra innings, albeit at a love resolution than cable tv.

Re: Is there an alternative to cable/DirectTV to watch Reds games

So basically what you all are saying is, if I live in Cincinnati my only options to watch the Reds are to pony up for Cable/Direct TV/Dish Network?

The Reds haven't been on an OTA(over-the-air) outlet for years.

Re: Is there an alternative to cable/DirectTV to watch Reds games

I just signed up for my 1st year of mlb.tv. I just felt as if it was stupid for me to keep paying the extra money for EI, when I can have basically the same thing for less money.
