    MLB TV is not for Vegas residents

    I have family in Vegas and was going to buy next season as a gift. They're Dodgers fans and I figured since the Dodgers no longer can be seen locally in Vegas I would buy them a season so they can watch on their smart tv.

    Much to my shock MLB blocks 6 teams from being shown in Las Vegas and they are:

    Arizona

    Dodgers

    Angels

    Giants

    A's

    Padres

    You cannot watch these teams in Las Vegas from MLB tv because MLB considers them "Local" teams.

    What a joke! What gives here?

    MLB Extra Innings is a Cable TV subscription package offered by participating pay TV providers that allows you to watch out-of-market MLB games on television. Each Extra Innings package varies by pay TV provider. Some Extra Innings Packages include a subscription to MLB.TV.

    MLB.TV is an out-of-market streaming package that enables subscribers to view MLB games live and on demand online on computers and supported mobile and connected devices

    I get the feeling the sportsbooks have a lot to do with this

    They want them in person and up close

    Somebody needs to file a class action lawsuit and make the MLB redo their regional teams. If you're more that 100 miles from the stadium, you should be able to watch the damn game on tv.

    Should have to do with local broadcasting not giving up the rights. Seems like those type of contracts have been going on forever.

    But that local region Range describes is crazy.

    I'll check what sports package came with my cox cable here in Henderson, nothing gets blacked out for me besides dodgers. Obviously that doesn't help your current issue with them being dodger fans. There's probably a dodger only package you can buy them.

    There are some good no virus free streaming sites, I watch them on my mobile on a daily basis, no issues, every game free.

    I told you how to do it. There are no blackouts with Smoothstreams.tv. or with Nitrotv. You also have the option of switching servers to other areas of the country or world with Smoothstreams.

    No. You must not understand how it works to ask that. Send a PM to Bushay over at EOG. He can fix you up where you will get everything. I've had my boxes for over 3 years now without an issue.

    I have smoothstreams and nitrotv subscriptions so I pay about $28/month. I cut the cord 3 years ago and I get EVERYTHING. All sports, all cable channels, and all PPV movies and events.
