for those out of market people looking for cubs games, go to http://myp2p.eu.

 

Its free streaming of all kinds of sports, international too.

The Yankees must not be opening their season in the new ballpark.

both the yankees and mets start on the road

I'd assume ESPN will pick up opening night

I have to make a decision on MLBTV or a new stereo.

I'm doing Gameday Audio this year. I'm blacked out of Cubs games anyway.

 

Why don't you watch it on TV or do you not have cable or satellite? CSNC is the RSN in this area and I am able to watch all the games (except WCIU because it's too much of a pain to switch over to an antenna to get it on channel 69). MLBTV blacks out in market subscribers which is why you cannot get the Cubs games (nor Sox, Tigers, Reds). So I am going to assume this is for when you are working.

 

Indiana's cable companies don't carry CSN Chicago because it's not the local RSN. At the same time, it technically is inside the Cubs home territory so the games are also blacked out on MLBTV.

 

So if you get cable for any reason, you have no way of seeing those Cub games in this market. I'm still crossing my fingers that they won't black the games out with Uverse (which actually has the channel but they blacked out Bulls games) but I'll have to wait another month to see for sure.

 

Incorrect, I live in Indiana. CSNC is my RSN...was in NW Indiana and it is in NC Indiana. Cable or Satellite...take your pick. I take it you don't live in NW or NC Indiana. They used to have a listing on their website but no longer of the cities where CSNC is the local RSN.

 

BTW, we are blacked out of Pacer games up here even though we live in Indiana. Good thing I am not an NBA fan. If UVerse blacked out the Bulls, they will black out any Chicago team. It isn't the provider you use that matters...it is the overall blackout rules.

MLBTV follows blackout rules too? I only want it for Cubs games. If the Cubs will get blacked out then forget it.

 

If you go to the page and plug in your zip code, it will tell you which teams are "in market" and hence, blacked out.

 

Only the Brewers would be blacked out for me. Hooray!

 

Always glad to provide information that makes someone happy. I am glad you will be able to get the games. They will only blackout against the Brewers so you should get them on TV then anyhow.

When I'm working will be nice, but I also don't get CSN+, so that's a fair few games I can't otherwise watch. And like last year I'm sure I'll be wanting to follow other teams' games too.

 

Eh, you need a job where your company server is located in another team's territory. LOL Seriously, it works.

I live in STL, but I cannot get Comcast on my Dish Network. I just got off the phone w/ them to see about adding it, and they said that I'm already supposed to be getting it, and that there's no blackout. They couldn't tell me why I didn't get it. Anyone have the scoop? :banghead:

 

Because you live in St Louis and FSN Midwest is your RSN.

That's true about the NW and NC areas and I misstated by saying the state as a whole. I live in the Indianapolis area. We get Fox Sports Indiana as our main regional sports channel.

 

And I'm not sure about blacking out of Cubs games. When inputting my zip code, my local baseball teams should be the Cubs, White Sox, and Reds. That's been confirmed by this zip code lookup from DirecTV and also this map:

The Cubs are supposed to be one of my local teams, but neither the Bulls or the Blackhawks are (it's the Pacers and Blues). So I should be able to get the Cubs games through Uverse who offer both CSNC and Fox Sports Indiana even though the Bulls games which are not part of my home market are blacked out.

I know other people in the Indianapolis area who do get Cubs games doing the same thing (along with getting both Pacers and Reds games on FSI), but as they are in slightly different zip codes I'm still waiting to make sure.

I hate hate hate that my dorm doesn't get CSN. I don't know how you can be in chicago and not get CSN.

 

Of course, my freaking dorm decided not to put ESPN/ESPN2 on it's random ass roster of channels either. Ugh.

Just checked ESPN.com and they're listing opening day cubs/astros on ESPN2.

Because you're the sports fan population of Columbia.
