I have watched the Sox on MLB.TV for quite a few years since I now reside out of state.  Never could watch Detroit/Chicago because of blackout restrictions.  Early Fall I switched from cable to Hulu + and was delighted to now have those Detroit/Chicago games available.  Question:  Do any of you out of Chicago fans have a longer history with Hulu + to know how many games I could expect on Hulu + if I don't renew MLB?  I should have checked it out myself but the season was over before I woke up.  The Hulu sight doesn't answer my question adequately.  Thanks for you impute.

I can't on hulu, but aren't the days of blackout restrictions over now?

Going forward...I don't know.  I was blacked out all last season and before.

I don’t think they are ending on MLB.TV, but the only time it affects me is in Iowa...ironically, the rest of the world has unfettered access.

I am blacked out for Detroit games also from my area and have MLB.tv and started Hulu+ last summer. All Detroit games were televised on Hulu, so we had no problem watching all games.

I’m also in DET, I didn’t realize Hulu had these broadcasts! Hopefully the MLB.TV blackouts just end but if not it’s nice to know how I can get past that next season! Thanks y’all

If you dropped MLB...would you still get all the Sox games on Hulu...not just the Detroit/Chicago?

No...we get NBCS but Detroit instead of Chicago.  Can't seem to get an answer in the Help section of Hulu.

No, I only get Detroit games on Hulu + in my area. Gotta keep MLB.tv for all games other than blackout games vs. Detroit. 

I'm moving to St Louis for work... Would MLB.TV be my best option?

Yes. Easy peasy.

Any blackout issues can always be solved by a simple *cough* VPN app *cough*.

Also since it's the dead of december and there's no real news to discuss if you are a T-Mobile subscriber you will almost certainly get free MLB.tv again this year.  All you have to do is activate the coupon when they release it.  Don't make the mistake I did two years ago paying too early as they won't refund wait for the T-Mobile coupon usually they release it middle of March.

God March in Tempe sounds nice right now.  2.5 months away.

Yes, the one nice thing about being a T-Mobile customer before I got sick of coverage, dropped calls, and data speed issues.  Xfinity Mobile for $45 per month for a single line is awesome but I do miss the free MLB.TV with T-Mobile.
