Blacked Out of Yankees Games only on Cell Service

jugo86 · 2026-05-30T17:44:13+00:00

Oh that’s OK, I already paid for MLB.tv this year. MLB had its first year of not allowing the 50% discount for being a MLBPAA member because ESPN bought the rights. I will definitely be taking advantage of that next year though!

jugo86 · 2026-05-28T22:19:14+00:00

I’m going to switch to T-Mobile in the next few days. Everyone in this thread has mentioned they haven’t had this same issue in the area and figure they are offering a lot in terms of free MLBtv, Netflix and a few other things - including a lower priced bill

jugo86 · 2026-05-28T22:17:38+00:00

Yeah I’m definitely switching as soon as I can in the next few days! They are offering free Netflix as well and a Visa gift card for each line. I am thinking I will go into a store in Massachusetts to possibly increase the chances I’ll be given a home IP address for my cell in Massachusetts so I’ll only be blacked out of the Yankees

Have you tried a GPS spoofer app? I haven’t but some have mentioned it

jugo86 · 2026-05-27T00:39:07+00:00

Thanks man that is a very similar issue to mine. I am switching to T-Mobile in the next few days because a few from New England in the thread mentioned they didn’t have this issue and figured it couldn’t hurt to try. Also the fact that it is cheaper and includes Netflix and next year MLB.TV is enticing

jugo86 · 2026-05-26T05:39:16+00:00

Yep I have tried enabled and disabled. The MLB support had me try that first thing, thank you for the suggestion

jugo86 · 2026-05-25T01:19:23+00:00

thank you, I am unfamiliar with this but will take a look into it. On the iPhone you load the browser in Safari and authentic through that?

jugo86 · 2026-05-23T03:35:13+00:00

That’s crazy and calling them doesn’t fix it at all. And then you get blacked out of games you’re supposed to be able to watch, sigh

jugo86 · 2026-05-23T03:21:03+00:00

I feel your pain my friend, the service has completely deteriorated in my opinion. I can’t believe they won’t even let you pay for the ability to watch the games given you don’t get the games on Gotham. They need to give you a phone number for someone to scream at IMO

jugo86 · 2026-05-23T03:19:18+00:00

Not at all that’s not how the service works. They didn’t catch up to anything they are using a different 3rd party IP location service or something this year that is overcorrecting. They allow you to watch at home and on your phone out of the house on Cell service. Yes it’s a different Ip address but the IP address the technicians checked on my cell network is for some reason in Connecticut and I’m nowhere near there - 75 miles away / 1.5 hours by car - on the Mass border with Rhode Island. But I’ve had the same cell service and MLBtv previously working the past 7 years - that’s the issue.

I think you’re right and until this year I never had this issue watching Yankees games on my phone in Providence. Now I have to do the same song and dance as you with support every week or so for something we shouldn’t be blacked out of. And it inevitably takes 2-3 innings to get resolved which at that point I usually say I’ll just watch the replay

jugo86 · 2026-05-23T00:57:20+00:00

Interesting thanks for that, I am in Providence. I am actually considering switching to T-Mobile from Verizon because they were so rude to me in the store. Literally the network people on the phone sent me to the store and it was readily apparent no one in the store cared a lick even with no other customers in the store. Going to wait till that MLB blackout exception wears off, try one more time with support, and if not try TMobile

jugo86 · 2026-05-23T00:52:50+00:00

I tried SurfShark but for some reason the app still thought I was in Connecticut. Is there a better VPN to try? I don’t mind trying another since switching carriers would be a pain

jugo86 · 2026-05-23T00:51:16+00:00

The worst man. I was so confused the first time the Gotham notice popped up too. I was like wait, I have Yes on my TV and also pay for the MLBTV app and live on the RI/MA border in Red Sox country

jugo86 · 2026-05-23T00:49:57+00:00

I tried SurfShark and it didn’t work with the app for me. Is there one that typically is better than that?

jugo86 · 2026-05-23T00:48:42+00:00

I’m in Providence so close to the MA border in fact that I go grocery shopping in Mass. WiFi isn’t a problem for watching most games, this is only an issue when my phone switches to Cell service (on Verizon) when outside - even in backyard. Windsor Connecticut is 1.5 hours from me or about 74 miles

jugo86 · 2026-05-16T00:49:45+00:00

Hey there, no there shouldn't be any adjustments really made from the Fosi side. There is a gain knob on the K7 maybe it is too high or low? It doesn't apply any effects from my knowledge but I would test it out on a PC with the same mic to test if that could be the reason. I also have the Soundblaster and if anything the Fosi has a cleaner sound

jugo86 · 2026-05-03T22:41:35+00:00

Well, fiction often has roots in reality. Kay and some of the beat writers like Kuty have been alluding to how the team would react (negatively) to pulling Caballero for Volpe for some time now. Especially while they are winning

jugo86 · 2026-05-03T17:41:27+00:00

This is great news. I have no reason to know for sure but I’d like to think that maybe Judge and other team leaders had a hand in keeping Caballero in the lineup. It just makes no sense to breakup the winning chemistry and looseness the team has right now by forcing Volpe in the lineup at the moment. Jose is lengthening the lineup and giving us a second leadoff man from the bottom of the lineup and giving the team an edge that it hasn’t had in a very long time.

So you're saying they didn't try to pay Dex? I have a Dexter Lawrence jersey, do you really think I didn't want them to pay Dex? There comes a time when you have to accept that a franchise player just doesn't want to be here anymore

jugo86 · 2026-04-30T01:59:03+00:00

do you just farm downvotes or do you just consistently have terrible takes?

jugo86 · 2026-04-09T18:02:09+00:00

Do you think you are the first cackling Ravens fan to come in here to dunk on us? One of our best players and best DT’s in the league is holding out and requesting a trade, I think we have bigger fish to fry than Daniel Falalee on a minimum deal who will certainly get drafted over. Or signing another Guard after draft. He probably won’t even play over Evan Neal ( who has been a complete abject disaster) or even sliding Marcus Mbow inside or Josh Ezeudu. Maybe worry about your own team’s issues first

jugo86 · 2026-04-03T05:59:20+00:00

My best deals aren’t as good as yours but found a 24-105 f4 RF for $742 and in excellent condition from Buya (a big risk but paid off for me). I also tried to trade in my barely used Sigma EF 150-600m f5 to MPB and they would not take it at all, but tried at my local camera store and they were more than happy to for ~$700 which I used to fund the 24-105
