If you live in Ontario or most of the US there is not black out in effect. I've used the MLB package everywhere I go and i haven't had a problem. The premium package allows you to see every game, both home and away feeds in HD plus gives you the option of watching on all formats - tv, laptop, iPad etc and allows you to listen to all the games through your mobile device. The regular package gives on only standard definition and you will only get the home team feeds. If you just want to listen to the games get the at bat app. It's $25 for the whole season
