    I have been using worldcupfootball.me on my smart tv and on the pc I'm using. It works but it can be a pain in the ass because it opens other windows like crazy but if you go back to the original site eventually it comes up. You'll see it if you try it. I had to download a web browser on my smart tv and I have to clear the data and cache before I use it, like I said it's a bit of a hassle but I'm not paying $200 for cable any more. Best part no blackouts. I have a firestick to be clear. Speaking of firestick, if any of you who read this have one and bought it jail broken or thinking of buying it jail borken don't do it. It's simple to jail break it so buy the latest one. If you want a good source to put programming on it use Dr. Venture on youtube.

    Unblock-us requires you to change the DNS settings on your device. I haven’t used it in a few years, so I don’t know if it still works (Netflix started blocking it, so it can be blocked) - but u might be able to sign up for 2 weeks free to try it out.

    On my AppleTV I could easily change the DNS on the device. I had a cheap Roku that didn’t have a way to set the DNS - I was able to use it by changing the DNS on my router, but that’s a little more work.

    Yeah, I prefer clean user interface and quality stream that's easy to access and has DVR functionality.
    Messing with a router scares me.

    I'll do some free trial stuff and check it out. Thanks!

    I did this for a year and no issues. Re upped my subscription for the new season and got booted from MLB after a few days. When contacting them, they wouldnt even listen. This was a couple years ago so who knows. Bit the bullet and got Time Warner Cable which as we know is now spectrum and have to say I literally only watch Dodger games and nothing else. Not even backstage Dodgers or anything. Literally pay hundreds a month.... Im stupid i know but i gotta do what I gotta do to watch dem boys in blue!

    Try the free trial but just know that you risk loosing your MLB profile for life!

    Regarding the article that Irish posted:
    I do own a sling box and used it to watch games on my phone. It sent a signal from my set-top box at home to my sling app on my phone. Pretty cool.

    Messing with the router isn’t that scary, but it will affect everything connected to that WiFi. Most notably, Netflix won’t work at all if you are on an unblock-is DNS, so you might have to switch your DNS settings all the time.

    I’ve never used expressVPN, but this article says they work https://www.comparitech.com/blog/vpn-privacy/mlb-tv-blackout-workaround-vpn/

    I think that’s an actual VPN too.

    I hate Applebees, TGI Friday, Claim Jumper, etc.
    Not in a snobby, anti-chain restaurant way.
    Just because the food is horrible.

    HOWEVER,
    Chili's is damn good.
    I love everything about Chili's.
