This past off season I moved from South Dakota to Oklahoma. I had MLB.TV in SD and loved it. I didn't think about cancelling when I moved to OK because I didn't realize that MLB's blackout of the Astros extends all the way through OK. I knew I wasn't going to be able to watch the Rangers, but 500 miles from the stadium seems excessive for a blackout area.

With MLB.TV ruled out, I searched what providers carried AT&T Sportsnet. We currently have DirecTV Now, but they don't carry it in any of their packages. Apparently it's only AT&T UVerse and the satellite version of DirecTV. Well, UVerse isn't available in my area and I live on base, so I'm not allowed to install a dish. I didn't want to pay $50 a month just for one thing anyways.

How the heck can I watch the 'Stros?

I guess I could pay an extra $5 a month for a VPN (which is just going to piss me off more), but that a) seems shady and b) would limit me to watching on my computer, not my Fire TV Sticks.

I've never had a problem on network TV. I have suddenlink though. I've never tried mlb tv, but it seems ridiculous that you can't watch anything everywhere.

I usually catch the games on Sirius XM though, because work.

I lived in OKC for a few years and the Astros being a "home team" there was extremely frustrating. I just ended up watching games on my laptop via MLB.TV + a VPN service... used an HDMI to link to my TV. Old fashioned but it worked.

Smart DNS service + Roku + MLB.tv = Astros

---

Doesn't work with all routers, namely Google Mesh.

Suggestions on Smart DNS service?

It works on my Google Wifi. I use Unlocator for the DNS.

That may be because it's a Google product and Google likes to location lock. I don't know. That's for someone with more IT knowledge than me. All I know is it works with my Netgear router and it can also work for other routers.

As far as SMART DNS service, I use overplay.net.

Double check me, but I have DirecTV and get Rangers games on FSSW and Astros games on AT&T Sportsnet. Not sure what channel it is but it is around 670. It may be because I live in Texas, though.

Leave Oklahoma. But seriously Reddit mlb streams.
