These are one way connections as far as I know, they know where you are because you TELL them where you are. If I was in a San Diego Starbucks on Wifi, the games blacked out for me would be the NY games, not the SD games, they have no way of knowing where I literally am unless I tell them that.

Not that I advocate duplicity. I'm just saying.

Vic, I'm not sure how mlb.tv figures out where I am when I'm at home (ip tracking I suppose) but on the ipad and iphone it asks if it can use the device to find your location. If I choose no, it defaults to "you ain't getting anything, then."
So it actually looks at the market I'm in, rather than where I'm from.
I found this out because I tried grabbing the Indians game while I was out in Cleveland a couple weeks ago. No dice.
I figured on my computer here, I could log in with a proxy. It's really not necessary, though. I can see where it might be an issue if my home team was in a playoff run, but I got the Buccos.

I was trying to bend my brain as to how I'd stream this stuff to the tv, but I'm clueless. Any ideas for me?
