question about sports black outs on DTV

[bbh2020]

I live in Sanford, NC.

The Charlotte Bobcats games are shown on Sports South, but they are blacked out in my area. I called DTV and they said they are only shown inside a 75 mile radius to Charlotte and are blacked out outside of that due to low customer demand.

After contacting the Bobcats, they said DTV did not want to pay the fee to carry the games for everyone, that is why they black them out. They are also blacked out on league pass because they are show locally.

Is there any way around this? Could I swap cards with one of my friends that live in the Charlotte area? Would that allow me to see the games?

Any other ideas I could try to watch the games?

With any DIRECTV base package (CHOICE or above, or MÁS ULTRA or above):

The only way to get the Bobcats is to "move" to the Charlotte area
