In years past I have tried to watch the Astros games on MLB.TV or "At Bat" app but since I live in the BR area it says it's blacked out. Is there a way I can get by the blackout, like an app or something on my phone?

Root Sports is your friend.

It's the age of the internet, you can access just about anything but most of those sites can't be shared here. Hit up a tech savvy friend or call geek squad.

I'd seriously consider changing providers.

I used to blackout watching Astros games.. Didn't as much last year since they were actually decent.

Nope. Try unlocator.com. It basically changes your IP location.

The mlb people are supposed to be offering a way around this, for an extra $10 a month (But, you must prove that you cannot get the Astros from your provider). There was a thread about this a week or so ago.

Coorect. The only options are to switch providers, terrible quality illegal streams, or to use the Unlocator vpn service.

Unlocator is what I am choosing for this season. It is 5 dollars a month, or 28 for 6 months. It has gotten glowing reviews. You can set up the vpn on your apple tv simply and watch all your games through that.

May be able to stream Root. Not sure. I live a block from the field so I prefer just to walk over.
