FlaCWS Posted June 4, 2005 Share Posted June 4, 2005 I just went to sign in and watch the Sox game and BAM I'm hit with the "you are blacked out" message... so I call MLB.com and find out that ALL SATURDAY day games from now to the end of the year are blacked out because of FOX's exclusive contract. Except... I live in south Florida and my FOX station is showing San Fran vs. the NY Mets! What is going on here??? I paid 80 goddamn dollars to be able to watch all the Sox games. This is friggin' crap! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, the game hasn't started yet, but I've clicked on the KC-TEX and BOS-CAL links and both gave me the blackout msg, which is why I called.

Wait, so if you go to this page: http://mlb.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/mlb/video/mlb_tv.jsp You don't see the grey squares listed next to every game that starts before 7pm Eastern? The grey square indicates a National Live Blackout and the key at the bottom says: National Live Blackout: Live games marked with grey icon will be blacked out in the U.S., Japan, South Korea, Guam and the U.S. Virgin Islands Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gene Honda Civic Posted June 5, 2005 Share Posted June 5, 2005 Here's what I don't understand... As long as they show the commercials, they really aren't losing a thing by you watching it online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
