Is MLBTV blackout area determined by IP Address; or is it they determined by zip code?
The MLBTV site shows my IP address is not subject to any home territory blackout restrictions. But, it also shows based upon my zip code the White Sox and Cubs are in my home territory and are subject to blackout restrictions?
Will I be able to watch the White Sox and Cubs with MLBTV?
It is determined by IP. I get the Tigers games when I am on the road even though my account shows a Zip in the Tigers territory. That being said I think there is a glitch with the IP blackout test right now. When I am on my home ISP (Charter cable) that tool correctly shows the Tigers being blacked out. When I am on my office ISP about 5 miles away (AT&T DSL) the tool incorrectly says no teams are blacked out in my area.
We will see how it works when the actual season starts but I have a feeling the Tigers will be blacked out at work even though the tool says they aren't.
