I live in GA & got the YES Network to watch the Yankee games. But, the games are blocked. Why? Can I fix it?

Question

Yankeeography is also blocked. Again, why? Also, if I can't fix it, is there another channel I could watch every game in? Thanks.

Answer 1

I don't now, I don't even know what to tell you, other then the fact is that you don't live in the area. So maybe you should just cancel the Yes Network. Either that, or move closer to New York.  

Answer 2

If you got it through DirecTV (and other providers might be the same), they block MLB games in sports packages that don't belong to your network  (i.e. YES Network, Comcast sports stations, Fox sports stations).  They do this to force you to get the MLB package, as the sports packages are usually considerably cheaper than the MLB package, and you'd get virtually all the games anyway.

Like a previous poster suggested, you might want to look into MLB Extra Innings OR a more cheaper option would be MLB.tv .  Please note that if you got MLB.TV that the Braves would in your regional blackout area, so you would be unable to get Braves game on it.  However, you should be able to get all the regular season Yankees games.

Best of luck.

Answer 3

If you have comcast call them and they will fix it. But if you have anything else     your %#$@

Answer 4

Do you have MLB extra innings? That might be all you need.
