You will not be billed for your second month of MLB.TV. Billing for your third month will begin 60 days after your purchase date.

Might be a good time for some to try it out.

Offer ends May 8

Once you get it, you're going to want to keep it. Might as well just spring for the whole season.

Not to beat a deadhorse but.....blackout rules apply correct? And if so, its based on the zip of your CC billing address?

Blackout rules would apply. On this link you can choose a team at the bottom and it lists the zipcodes that are blacked out.

Anyone?

membengal · 05-05-2006, 10:58 AM

If you want to avoid the evil blackout, some of have suggested (and it has apparently worked) to register with the CC of a family member living in parts farflung from Cincy and thereby getting around this archaic rule. Simply payback said family member promptly, and laugh the laugh of fan who has beaten MLB at one turn...

Why would I buy MLB.TV when, through a mistake by the cable company (probably having something to do with my NHL Center Ice package) I'm getting Extra Innings for free?

Black-Out Rules apply and they DO NOT track you by the zip code you register your account with. There is something MUCH simpler to track you with that doesn't lie

Depends on where you were out of the country - I know MLB.TV has alot of black-out rules for people who live out of the country so you might want to start there and see if that place was blacked out.

Yes, I am sure - I live in Columbus and I get Fox Sports Cincinnati on Direct TV (638) and I watch the games all the time, well I wanted to order MLB.TV thinking well I get it on the dish why wouldn't I get it on the computer. Well i'm blacked out on the computer... I carefully change my IP Addy (that thing from up above) And there all magic breaks loose.

RBA · 05-05-2006, 11:51 AM

I can back up the IP address thingy. I get it just fine in El Paso, but when I went up to Lexington on business I was blocked out. (Reds Games).

Also, maybe some of you might want to try a one time use MasterCard or a virtual Mastercard Number with a set amount in case you forget to cancel in time and MLB tries and charges you.

Ok, follow up question.

If its not the credit card number, but the IP that they use to track you. Then if you are out of the Reds protected area and using a hotel's internet service, then could you be able to watch the Reds?
