For an avid baseball fan, MLB.tv is truly amazing…but if you know much about MLB.tv, you also know there are some serious blackout restrictions. What you need is a MLB.tv blackout workaround.
What if MLB.tv no longer had blackout restrictions. YUP, you heard me right. No Blackout Restrictions!
You CAN watch your local baseball team live via MLB.tv without being blacked out with a super simple solution.
All you need to do is get yourself a high quality VPN for your computer.
It’s oh so simple!
A high quality VPN will allow you to choose any geographical location you would like your computer to be virtually located.
So for example…say you live in Toronto and you want to watch a Toronto Blue Jays game live via MLB.tv…easy. Just launch a high quality VPN and choose a non Canadian city, let’s just say Chicago for instance, and BAM, no more silly blackout restrictions. (This will also work for those of you that live in the USA are are trying to watch your local team!)
Just make sure you don’t select the city that the team you’re trying to watch is playing in or playing against that day. As long as you pick a city that is not one of the two team’s hometowns you will be golden.
What an amazing upgrade to your MLB.tv experience!!!
Now to get the best results, you need HMA. HMA has 343 server locations (adding more all the time) so it will turn your MLB.tv from Good to Great. From Awesome to Amazing. It just makes MLB.tv oh soooooooo much better.
I’ve personally been using HMA for over 2 years now and couldn’t be happier with the results. Using it up here in Canada allows you to access sites like Hulu, US Netflix, Pandora Radio, Spotify Radio and now… MLB.tv (without any restrictions)!
Step 1 for your MLB.tv upgrade
Go to HMA and get registered. You’ll need to provide some basic information and select the best option for you.
Now if MLB.tv is the sole reason for getting HMA, then I recommend that you get a 6 month plan (especially if its still early in the season) since baseball has a 6 month season or monthly if its mid or late season.
But if you live outside the USA, then check out what else you’ve been missing out on…
US Netflix / HULU / HULU Plus / Pandora Radio / Spotify
If access to these sites excites you, then I recommend getting the 12 month option as the best per month deal!
Step 2 …Download Your Personal MLB.tv Blackout Workaround
Now that you’ve chosen the plan that works best for you, sign into HMA’s website with your username and password information. You’ll now have full access to HMA’s software download page. Now it’s just a matter of downloading HMA to the computer of your choice.
After the download is complete, you can now launch the newly installed software. You’ll need to sign into the software. Then you’ll need to choose which virtual location will work for you.
Now to avoid those pesky blackout restrictions for the game of your choice, pick a city that is not of the team you want to watch. However, we also recommend that you choose a city that is reasonably close to you current physical location.
Now with your new HMA software, you can head on over to MLB.tv and start watching your newly unrestricted baseball game.
Step 3 …Enjoy MLB.TV Without The Blackouts!
