It sucks. Were it not for that, we would have given up cable long ago.

Seems to me there is an easy way around this.

Buy MLB for a friend or family member who lives in another market, and register their address. If you can't buy it for them, have them buy it and reimburse them.

Have them give you the password, etc.

These are one way connections as far as I know, they know where you are because you TELL them where you are. If I was in a San Diego Starbucks on Wifi, the games blacked out for me would be the NY games, not the SD games, they have no way of knowing where I literally am unless I tell them that.

Not that I advocate duplicity. I'm just saying.
