claydude14 Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 I would guess a VPN would do the trick, but I’m outside of the Sox market anyways so I watch all the games on MLB.tv without the need for one. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year it was part of the MLB give-away - however - I have to remind myself that last year's MLB giveaway technically didn't happen until July (isn't that when the MLB season actually got started).

Either way - only thing i wish Tmobile would do is allow you to sign-up earlier - would be great to stream some spring training games too. Its like 77 without a cloud in the sky outside today - really makes me want to be sitting in a ballpark hearing the crack of a bat. My god do I miss that - especially since I'd get out to spring training every year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you download the Tmobile mlbtv option or want to buy the MLBtv let me know. I'll show you how to do it, it is really simple. The trick is you want to be far away in the US away from teams we typically play. The Rockies are going to be shit so I'd pick them. They are NL, we won't have to worry about playing them for any reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Middle Buffalo Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 Is there a way to get it from my phone to my TV? I couldn’t figure it out last year, so I had to watch on my phone all year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have a smart TVs - you can just use the app on their. I use all of the above depending on device I’m watching. One tv is smart while the other two have fire sticks where I just use the app. But if I’m at a friends or my parents - they have chrome and I can just cast using that and get a game on if I want it.

So sometimes my app would kind of stall and I learned I had to like restart the app. For my tv you just hold the power button a bit longer or do a force close on the specific app. That would do the trick. I think my tv has the android tv (not sure which one your tv runs on) - but maybe that helps. But other than the ocassional refreshes - which would happen when you turn on the app (for me it is an android issue and not mlb cause it happens with my Disney plus and prime too) - the app worked amazing last year (my first year using it from a smart tv cause my other 2 TVs in our house are super old and non smart :). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use a VPN at home to stream the games bc I experience lagging/buffering with the NBC app. I haven't had any issues when doing that with the MLB.TV app. It's actually my preferred method to watch the games now. I usually change that location to the Netherlands or Canada before I open the app and that does the trick. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YourWhatHurts Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 So I will put my question in this thread, but I am considering cancelling my Comcast TV portion (I already have Amazon Prime & Discovery Plus & some free stuff, so for me cable is really unnecessary aside from sports) and I am thinking about getting MLBTV and maybe the NBA version also. If I buy the subscription with a Chicago-market address, can I still watch the local broadcasts if I am using a VPN on an android box? Or will my mailing address automatically disqualify me from watching the games? I know I can't watch on my rokus because you can't install a VPN on those.

I've been using it for the longest and haven't had any issues with games except for the Rockies. Sometimes leaving the country puts people in a bad spot so YMMV. Like I said though, I can help you next month take care of this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
