    I did this for a year and no issues. Re upped my subscription for the new season and got booted from MLB after a few days. When contacting them, they wouldnt even listen. This was a couple years ago so who knows. Bit the bullet and got Time Warner Cable which as we know is now spectrum and have to say I literally only watch Dodger games and nothing else. Not even backstage Dodgers or anything. Literally pay hundreds a month.... Im stupid i know but i gotta do what I gotta do to watch dem boys in blue!

    Try the free trial but just know that you risk loosing your MLB profile for life!

    Regarding the article that Irish posted:
    I do own a sling box and used it to watch games on my phone. It sent a signal from my set-top box at home to my sling app on my phone. Pretty cool.

    Messing with the router isn’t that scary, but it will affect everything connected to that WiFi. Most notably, Netflix won’t work at all if you are on an unblock-is DNS, so you might have to switch your DNS settings all the time.

    I’ve never used expressVPN, but this article says they work https://www.comparitech.com/blog/vpn-privacy/mlb-tv-blackout-workaround-vpn/

    I think that’s an actual VPN too.

    This is one of those plot twists which, if it took place in a book or a movie, most of us would say, "What a crock of shit! That'd never happen in real life..."

    Except it happened. To us. To Dodger fans. To us muthafukin ass Dodger fans.

    This is unbelievable. TV access to a team that had all its games cancelled.

    And while I think there will be baseball this at some point, it will be such a small season & a funky playoff that something tells me this team will get fucked again in a way that makes all the other things that have happened look realistic by comparison to what awaits us.

    Unbelievable.

    only reason this happened is because of the revenue spectrum is/was losing

    I hate Applebees, TGI Friday, Claim Jumper, etc.
    Not in a snobby, anti-chain restaurant way.
    Just because the food is horrible.

    HOWEVER,
    Chili's is damn good.
    I love everything about Chili's.

    Spectrum must have hit a critical point with people unsubscribing due to them gouging every subscriber to cover their losses and the rise of streaming. I find whole thing is hysterical though.... Spectrum finally dropping their pants while GuGG's "Ingested" their checks and fought so hard to stay under the cap, only to have to eat shit and pay everyone this year with no game revenues coming in. :D Nice of them to furlough the stadium workers yesterday too, despite a 1MM mandated fund from the league to pay them.

    ***Yeah, Tony P's will now have the games on in their bar when the season starts, which is a good thing! :D
