The issue with that is Cox isn’t available in my area.
There are a lot of people in Texas who are blacked out just because a station in Bryan carries it. They are blacked out in college station and I don't think CST is available there. Last season someone said it was based on zip codes or area codes.

Download the Hotspot Shield Elite app and it gives you a 7-day free trial. Delete it after you use it. Worked for me last night.

I think it has to do if it's available to your cable provider. Say you have Directv and they have the option to make Cox part of their package but don't because of price or whatever reason then you still get blacked out. Moral of the story is Cox sucks. They purchase these "LSU" games from the home teams because since SECN started it's all they have left.
It doesn’t matter who your provider is or if Cox is even available to you. If you are in their coverage region, it’s blacked out. Find the game thread from last night and you’ll see the map in the first post. I don’t have a cable/satellite provider, only internet to stream everything, and it was blacked out for me. This is only for non-conference road games. ESPN/SECN have rights to the home and conference games. Download a free vpn app to your phone and watch it on there or connect it to your tv. I also saw someone post on here that you can download vpn to a Roku player. I’m going to try it next time. Only problem with VPN is it can slow down your connection.

Same here. I have Directv so CST is not even offered but I’ve watched both blacked out games through the WatchESPN app after I started my VPN app.
I use Betternet, it’s a simple app on an iPad. Full featured, you just have to watch a 10 second ad when you connect.
Everyone should have a vpn app installed ready to go.

Get a VPN to hide your location. I use PIA.

Can you link me the iPhone to tv hdmi adapter?

Turned off my WiFi and streamed the game from my phone just fine.

Just get a Chromecast or Apple TV or fire stick
Posted on 3/8/18 at 3:05 pm to dscunpar
Install a VPN or buy a Kodi box

Rantz was one of the first to start airing college baseball on CST
That used to be the only option
At least now you get all the sec games and non conf games at Alex Box \
It used to not be that way

Your advice worked last year for me, but last night it didn’t work.
Posted on 3/8/18 at 3:09 pm to nicholastiger
I turn off phone WiFi and it works every time it’s blacked out

Yeah even with geauxzone you would get all home games but away games were iffy. You would have to pay for each schools stream if they even had one. SECN is a godsend.

If they are blacked out it’s because there is another cable station that is hosting the game that you subscribe to. Cox sports for us in Baton Rouge.

haven't apple tv - will not do it!
Posted on 3/8/18 at 5:10 pm to Sir Fury
I can't get it either. Don't want it either, too, also but it is criminal for them to block all the way up into missouri. LSU should really stop this. Benefits NO one!

Apple Lightning to Digital AV Adapter.
Plug into your phone and then just plug in your TV's HDMI cable.

There's also a $2.99 app that mirrors your iphone to a firestick.

I’m sure it does work for some. But I tried that and no go for me.

I haven't tried it yet but this is the first season the games have been blacked out for me. Last year it was blacked out of everyone but for some reason it streamed normally for me.
