I'm missing a Tiger game due to the Redwings and I couldn't care less about hockey. Thats on my FOX sports channel.
If I were you I'd look into FTA and pick up all the visitor away games that local stations broadcast.
Just an idea, and I do get your anger.
Donate it to FreeRepublic and beg forgiveness for this vanity.
The only games I have blocked are the Mariners, and sometimes that's a blessing.
Yes. They are charging you money for access to games via CATV & Direct TV and still feel the need to protect local markets.
Unreal....
Watch 24 instead.
I hate it when that happens. You have my sympathy. Can you at least still access it on the internet? You can watch 24 and still follow the game on your 'puter.
And don't know who you are rooting for, but since this IS a vanity thread, allow me to say: LET'S GO METS!
"watch the Mets play the Nationals?"
and they blacked it out?
they did you a favor! LOL
check out Yankees/Red Sox on ESPN
Call and demand an immediate credit. You are now free of stupid athletic disease.
Get rid of your cable and get Direct TV--is that an option?
Try satellite.
The best day of my life was when I told Cable to stuff it. My wife and I actually argued over who would get the honor.
I won the coin flip.
I have MLB Extra Innings and live in Las Vegas. I get all the Yankee games I want for the package deal of about $ 150. Good deal.
In any event, the Yanks-BoSox game is on ESPN, tied 3-3.
I had NFL Sunday ticket and they did the same thing, relegating me to poor quality network tv reception, or no game at all because of the blackouts. So I appropriately cancelled my NFL Sunday Ticket subscription and saved $180.
I live in the middle of Missouri so both KC and St Louis were considered local games if they were at home.
My wife got me MLBTV again this year. I live in Ormond Beach Fla, next to Daytona Beach.
Miami is 254 miles away, yet I can't get any Marlin's games because MLB says I'm in their "local area Blackout".
I'm a DIE HARD St.Louis Cardinal fan, but won't be able to watch them play in Miami.
St.Pete-Tampa is 130 miles away, yet I can't watch any Devil Rays home games either.
In a perfect world, the MLB idiot who designed these "blackout areas", would have to spend at least half his annual salary to have someone pre-taste his food and drink, anfd hire someone to start his car....
Well I have the MLB audio. You can listen to anything plus you get 3 months free of Sports Illustrated.
I had MLB extra innings a couple of years ago and of course the braves games would be blacked out here (Atlanta) but usually Turnersouth or FSN or TBS was broadcasting it. I love MLB Extra Innings when I had it but I think I gained about 20 pounds because all I did was watch baseball. LOL!
If anyone has anything to add or suggest, please reply to FrankieP.....
I just look at my box. It's blacked out on some stations butMBL on Direct 741 shows it being there and does not give me a not aviable in this area like a couple of other channels do. My guess is Time Warner didn't pony up enough to MLB. Sorry I can't confirm a visual on the game for you though. I don't have sports packages on my satellite. My guess is it would show up on Direct TV on at least one of the MLB channels.
