Out of towners need help

by Halo84653 on May 20, 2008 12:57 PM PDT

I just checked my tv schedule for the week so I could set up my DVR to record the Angels games and it looks like I will be able to see three of the six between now and Sunday. Tonight's and tomorrow nights games against the Blue Jays are not being picked up by Extra Innings. Saturdays Fox game in my area will be the Mets and the Rockies. I understand about the Saturday game, although we haven't got an Angels game yet when they played the Saturday day game, but why is it when the games are on KCOP the feed isn't picked up by Extra Innings? It seems like Angels' ownership would like to see all of their games available to a national market. Someone who reads this blog must have a connection to find out what can be done about this.

The answer to this is ...

You need an American credit card and an overseas address. This is what I have, works just fine for me. Despite what the Limey says below, you don’t actually need to move to Scotland to enjoy the benefits of MLB.TV.

Plus with the improved video feed, I can actually watch full-screen on my 19-inch monitor, stand outside my house, look in the window and it’s just like watching on TV.

Dead solid great deal. ... just sayin’

I enjoy sitting down and watching the game on my 54" Hi-def with surround sound.

I am a fair weather fan so the Angels better win!

In 805 area code

we’ve been pushing for this all season so far, to no avail. KCOP is owned by KEYT, and they decided not to broadcast the Angels this year. So, there are about 50 games we cannot watch, not even on extra inning or pay-per-view stations. We’ve tried every angle, and everything’s been a closed door so far. I think the best thing to do is email the head of KCOP, John Frenzel <frenzel@fox11.com>. Express your disappointment and ask him to do what he has to do to get the Angels aired north of LA, or wherever you are.
