I'm away at school and I can't see this game on WCIU. I usually watch it on game day but i feel i really need to watch the action. Can someone tell me how i can buy mlb tv for this 1 game? I been trying to figure it out but i can't and its driving me nuts.

Thanks guys

Hey guys i have been a reader of these boards for almost fiver years now but i am not really into posting. i would rather just soak up info but i come to you tonight because i have a big problem on my hands. i currently just started attending class at the university of illinois-champaign urbana and i have no way to watch tonights game which is broadcasted on wciu. i dont think i can watch the game on mlb.tv either because the zip code in champaign is listed as well. do you guys have any idea of how i can watch the game? possibly get around the blackout on mlb.tv? please help me out loyal soxtalk fans. a sox fan is in need.

Thanks for stealing my thread LOL I have the same problem

Don't some schools have satillite or dish network? Like MLB ticket or something like that.

Even if you have a satellite dish network and MLB Extra innings...if the game is on WCIU and the Sox broadcast is the one that is carried, people outside the WCIU viewing area will not get the game. Some sort of stupid exclusive contract for games between the Sox and WCIU. I can't figure out why WCIU wouldn't want the ratings from me watching, but it seems that they don't.

 

Thanks for making me realize the game was on WCIU btw, I hadn't looked at my calendar yet. Now I know not to head home until the game was finished (thankfully, MLB radio never gets blacked out other than through technical problems)

Best recommendation would be to find a bar that has mlb ticket and head into there.

 

Otherwise if you go to www.mlb.tv you should be able to purchase on game, but I'm no familiar with how to get around blackout restrictions.

Actually just got MLBTV today for $20 for all the games in September and October. I had the same problem as you, but I don't think there is any legit way to get around the blackouts. My advice is to find a close relative or friend who lives outside of Chicago and ask them to purchase it for you. You can check out what areas are blackouted for each team on their website.

I go to U of I and am able to watch the Sox when they are on UIUC.

I'll send you guys PM's.

I have no chance of getting into UIUC, but I'm applying to UIC instead

Or you could just listen to Sox N Roll for a more, uh, colorful commentary.
