FS1 Blackout in progress

[T_N_T]

Does anyone know why Fox Sports 1 is being blacked out for certain customers for the Yankees @ Indians game 5 of the American League Division Series(a Nationally televised game)? Friends of mine are reporting a blackout, apparently, it's happening on Hulu Live TV as well.

If you get FS1, you should get the game. There are no local feeds to force a blackout so anyone who is getting the blackout shouldn't be. If you have Directv Deportes, check channel 465 Fox Deportes and see if it works there. I am getting it on both channels. I have no idea about Hulu, maybe you have to use the FS Go app instead to stream it.

Not that it should matter but where do the effected people live?

Northeast Ohio near Cleveland, and they said once the pregame was over the blackout was lifted, pretty odd.

Blackout was during the pregrame only, one the actual game started the blackout was lifted, idk?

That is good that the blackout was lifted. Maybe they were forcing people to watch the Sportstime Ohio pregame. You'd think FS1 would want the eyeballs. At any rate, go Cleveland!

I was on the train from Detroit to Chicago and it was blacked out for me too.

Thank god I got my TiVo to record it and streamed it to my iPad.

Just sux I had to use LTE data to do it, where I could have used it airtime free with my ATT iPad and the Directv app.

I wonder how much data 2 innings cost me?
