Why are Texas Rangers games blacked out in Houston on MLB.TV?

Ridiculous. My son wanted to watch the Rangers game tonight (his favorite player right now is Kinsler), so I signed up for MLB.TV, only to find out that we can't watch it.

What gives?

I can understand not being able to get games that are on TV in your local area, but I am not aware that the Rangers game is being televised in Houston tonight...

thoughts?

Is there no possible way to watch it at all?

Houston is within the Ranger's blackout area. Even if you have FSSW-Dallas through your cable, you'd be out of luck. Friday night games are only shown on the local channel, KTXA.

The MLB blackout rules are stupid.

Not unless there is an online stream somewhere.

As a fellow Houstonian, I believe the Rangers Friday night games are broadcast on the local DFW channel 21.

If you have Direct tv, Friday games are on 675-1.

I've had mlb.tv for a while. BR is in the rangers blackout area when they are home.

I bought the MLB package through Cox last year when I lived in BR and all of the Rangers home games were blacked out too. I don't get it. I called and they could never give me an answer as to why there blacked out.
