For those of you that use streaming services for live tv, how are you planning on watching the Braves? All the services dropped Fox Sports South last year, and I have no interest in switching to cable.

If anyone has T-Mobile, they give you mlb.tv for free. They’ve done this for about 4-5 years now that I recall and have used to watch my Braves here in new orleans

Problem is those of us that live in Atlanta can't watch on mlb.tv...local blackout restrictions.

AT&T TV is kinda like a hybrid cable/streaming service. They still have FSN or whatever the hell they are calling it these days...

This i saw that it will now be called Ballys or something.

Cable is the only legit option for this. YouTube TV and other streamers just completely dropped the ball on this. You can't claim to have live sports and then not have your local teams (no Hawks or Braves games lol). At this point, the service is $65/month now as the baseline. Streaming is becoming closer and closer to the cost of cable with worse benefits + quality + a lag on live sports which sucks.

You can still watch the road games. That is better than nothing.

And I'm a T-Mobile customer. I need to look into that.

You purchase one team for a season for no too much. I did this with ChiSox but never watched. I think it was through MLB TV site. Login on your device.

Get a VPN like Nord that allows you to select where you IP address is based out of as long as it is out of the Braves area. The closest one will give you the best stream.

I've had good luck when picking Charlotte.



This map is from 2017. I don't know if the team territorial areas changed with the MiLB reorganization.

When YouTube TV first came out, it was $35/month and had all the live sports channels I could ever want. It is horseshite how expensive it has gotten.

It amazes me that none of the streaming services have realized that there is a large market for people who would literally pay for only sports channels.

They realize it, they're just playing hardball with the regional sports networks and we're paying the cost. Neither of them wants to blink.

To OP's question, I stream sports via KODI and "The Crew" add-on. I won't pay these bastards a dime for any of this shite anymore. Cable companies and the streaming services can go frick themselves.

It is always obvious that when a new streaming option/technology hits the market, it's immediately in the Golden Age. Early Netflix ($8/month with godly selection), $35 YouTube TV, $10 MoviePass, etc.

The fragmentation of streaming is such bullshite. It just turns into cable, but worse.

The fact that no streaming service has it besides ATT (which is really a cable company) makes me blame sinclair more than the streaming services. I think Sinclair spent more than the regional sports were worth and now wanna recoup the cost.

I blame the teams/leagues for letting this shite happen. Blackouts are so fricking dumb. Like PLEASE NBA/MLB LET ME GIVE YOU MONEY TO WATCH MY TEAMS!!

Firestick - Unlocked - Cobra Hosting - TiviMate $10 a month watch whatever you want. There's videos of how to do this on youtube.

I'm up shits creek without a paddle because I have been on YouTubeTV for a few years now.


Don't really want to switch to anything cause I enjoy YTTV, but I need my nightly Braves viewing. I guess I'll be going with a VPN and MLBTV off of my laptop streaming to the screen.
