If I buy MLB TV...can I watch the Astros?

If you get VPN software

Well that depends on where you will be when you log in to your mlbtv account....

Att Sportsnet app + family member's directv account

Check the Cord Cutting thread here or go to the baseball forum.

In short, MLB.tv + Roku + Smart DNS = Streaming Astros.

I've given up and just started finding streams on Reddit. Unless you have DirecTV, it's next to impossible to watch it in any legitimate way.

I have DirecTV Now, I still don't understand how/why they don't offer the ATT Sportsnet channel yet...

Bought mlb.tv and have ipvanish on my firestick. Works every time.

Ummm, so they can keep Astros fans from cutting the cord (& revenue)....

DTVNow is the worst, it's getting really tired. And the "new" Beta format is no better, at least on a Roku. THey designed their interfaces for touchscreens - so they suck for remote controls.

Can't use DNS proxies on phones because MLB uses location services and other ways to verify location.

DTVNow works great. The only issue is not having Astros.

Except my family member who lives in Richmond's account always gets the error that their billing zip code blacks them out. Worst channel ever. I have to use the crappy MLB app with their DTV log in to stream on my phone or iPad. Can't cast it to my TV.

Really wish they'd figure out how to let me give them money without having to get DTV or Comcast.

But what if I want to watch the rangers and I don't get Comedy Central?

Step 1: Cut a hole in the box.

I have the same problem. I use the MLB app on a Nexus 7 and cast my screen. Does your device have that option?

Its a PIA that living in the heart of the city my billing zip code is blocked out.
