What are the (legal) options for watching Angel games on TV this year?

[gotbeer]

Move out of state to somewhere you can afford a house.  Then get MLB TV and watch with no blackouts.

Why would you be interested in the legal ones when the illegal ones give you baseball without the nauseating feeling of supporting a bunch of scumbags?

That’s no way for you to talk about Paul, The King of Big Screens, 500 north Harbor, La Habra.

[RallyMo]

I am The King.

Yeah but every other state sucks.

Ok, then move to San Diego or up North.

San Diego is more expensive than OC. NorCal is more expensive than NYC.

I talked to Paul while making one of his boring commercials which always included the catch phrase, freeway close. He knows he is lying, there is no freeway close to his small building that is crammed with big screens.

This is before Google so people drove there with no idea how unaccessible it was. After driving past it a half dozen times or getting lost on Whittier Blvd, when the customers finally arrive they've been arguing the whole way and if the husband balks at all his wife rips him about how they are not driving anywhere else, shopping for a better price, so buy it now or never. 

Then Paul says free delivery and setup and that contract is signed before she starts complaining she's hungry and the installer is usually waiting for them to get home because he knows every damn shortcut from La Habra to La Canada and every beach city to Malibu. 

Paul was in his 60's then and always came in with a new girlfriend after his third divorce. Their skirts were higher than his profits and probably cost him half of it but he sure seemed like a happy guy. Like he was the king.

T-Mobile subscribers have gotten the mlb.tv subs for free for a few years now

So, if you have a friend who has t-mobile and doesn't watch baseball, and know how to use a vpn, that's an option.

 

MLB.tv found a way to block VPN.

Wow, did they? I'm sure there are ways around it, but that sucks for basic users who just want a way to pay to watch their team. Pretty scummy as usual from MLB.

[Make Angels Great Again]

I was still able to use a VPN last season to get around it.

If you use a household name VPN like nord VPN or express VPN on a common server then yeah, it probably won't work.

[Taylor]

I wonder if there is an MLBstreams.onion on the Deep Web.

I know ESPN found a way to block the VPN for hockey games.  So wouldn't surprise me if MLB does also.  But it did work last season.

There will most likely be reddit links for streaming MLB games.

Just set up a virtual machine on a cloud server. Probably super easy to stream the viewport through a web url, share it with all your friends on Reddit. Haha

Just waiting on the tmobile announcement...

To be able to get that streaming, you have to have the most expensive plan on Direct/ AT&T.

That’s not true. Ballys is available with either the cheapest or second cheapest package.

The app and interface suck though. We had it last year during the season and immediately switched back to Hulu in October.

I watched the game yesterday through the app and it was “ok”.

Then they’ve changed. Because  I looked into Directv Stream in the last couple weeks.

I haven't checked since the end of last season. But, hopefully your are right, and they made a deal with Bally's to lower  the plan. I will have to check again. Last time i checked, they told me i had to have the mot expensive plan to stream it. And having 4 tv's in the house made it too expensive.

I've never understood this 'blackout' thing you guys have over there. So TV companies stop you from watching your local team? Why would that do that? Over here TV companies want viewers, ad revenue etc. I'm not interested in watching a sports team from 500 miles away unless they're playing my team. Confused :).

Oh and I can still watch Angels games with an MLB.tv subscription right? I think you're all just speaking about TV?
