After the debacle that was the NFLN/CST game, I don't want to sit down to a black screen again this week. Set to air live on CBS. Will I get camblocked again?

The NFL blackout rule because of lack of a sellout is about the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen.

That wasn't the issue week 1.

The game was in St. Louis and was on national TV(NFL network) but CST had the local broadcast rights. Anyone outside the New Orleans area without Cox was blacked out. New Orleans got it on local tv.

The entire season is sold out via season ticket holders.

Season ticket holders are required to buy preseason games, which means the preseason is sold out too.

No. This will be on CBS to everyone. COX Sports does not have exclusive rights to this game.

ETA: CST isn't even carrying it.

I was about to say, I don't think they blackout nationally televised games.

How can you not know that road games can't get "blacked out"?

Well, the St. Louis game was. But not ticket sale related. It was because CST exclusively carries 3 of the 4 preseason games.

This game is nationally televised on CBS, it wont be blacked out. CST wont be involved either so you wont have to worry about the local blackout

CST sucks. I thought that we were done with them with the creation of FSNO for the Pelicans.
