WhiteSoxfan1986 Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 I go to NIU and I don't get comcast, and the games are blacked out on MLB.tv. What if I used the address of a relative who lived in Arizona? I have heard that the games won't be blacked out, and have also heard the opposite. Just trying to get answers from people here.

IdaSox Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 (edited) The game would still be blacked out no matter what billing address you use, MLB.tv checks the location of your IP address when blacking games out. The last few seasons you could use a proxy to get around it, but I don't if you can still do that this year.

G&T Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 They should be blacked out, but right now I'm getting blacked out in Albany because my credit cards are linked to Chicago. Which is why I'm on hold with these people...and have been for a while. So it's possible that it might work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackie hayes Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 On another note... I was psyched about having the local commercials on mlb.tv, but the Pads-Giants game has this pong-like thing going over the commercials. It's a big improvement over hearing that same Tom Petty clip 25 times per game, but I really wish they could just leave the commercials in.

MLB could make money buy getting sponsors of their own and playing them during the mlbtv commercials. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd prefer the local commercials, but it'd do. I take back what I said. The pong thing was better for the first 3 games or so, but now that sound is driving me f'n nuts.

Kalapse Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 Mosaic is actually working today and is simply amazing. The player tracker is fantastic it's just too bad you can only input 30 players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearSox Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 It works for a couple of days, but then it figures it out after a while. But you can repeat the process. But I don't know if it is gonna be like this next year. Oh yeah, change your profile information, not your billing address... at least that is how I did it.

I can't wait until I re-work my subscription with mlb.tv to get the premium package... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the second day in, what with all the pirates and hackers trying to steal it or screw it up, it worked pretty good, IMHO. I think as time goes by, and the novelty wears off a little (and I can keep my hands off the damn buttons!) it will only improve and be a great passtime when the Sox are not playing.

They streamed the HD broadcast so it was a widescreen display with the 700K stream. Unbelievable. QUOTE(TLAK @ Apr 3, 2007 -> 10:10 PM) Mosaic is Awesome!

I don't think it will ever get old, it's a great program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3 BeWareTheNewSox 5 Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 In the other thread I said the 700K was nothing special, but today I think it looks much better. Also saw how the Cardinals game was widescreen. I actually uninstalled Mosaic yesterday out of frustration. Even at highest quality, the games looked like crap in the little squares, so has this improved? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
