Hey I have a question for everyone.

How can I watch away matches, if I don't have cable? I live in Brooklyn so I'm pretty sure mls live will just blackout our matches right.

Any advice legal or not is appreciated.

If you lurk around https://www.reddit.com/r/MLS/ or https://www.reddit.com/r/soccerstreams there are typically some streams up.  Especially in /r/MLS, people have been streaming the games live on youtube usually in really good quality.


If you scan YouTube looking for Bradley Wright-Phillips, youll find numerous goal compilations, a few interviews and, eventually, an excerpt from the grime mixtape series Lord of the Mics.

Thanks, I used to stream stuff all the time but now my laptop doesn't really work.

I need a new one to study so I guess being able to watch all the games will make me get on it asap.

Could also download a Chrome extension that changes the "country" from which you're browsing.  If you switch it to Canada, you can watch the national broadcasts and blacked out local broadcasts on MLS Live.  Or at least you used to be able to - haven't tried to do it in a while.

Google Chromecast works great for streaming to your tv.

Use a proxy server to fool MLS Live into thinking you are in another part of the country.  I used foxy proxy a few years ago when I didn't have cable and it gave me a Kansas City IP address. Got to see all of the away matches.  

 

You can also try downloading Hola Unblocker as a Firefox or Chrome add-on.  Since MLS Live works in the US and Canada, you could chose Canada as the country you are browsing from with Hola and that should do the trick as well.  No need to hunt around for streams (unless it is a nationally televised match, in which case MLS Live won''t have it).

I feel like RBNY gets on ESPN or Fox quite a bit. They did at least last season. Those game will def be blacked out, nation wide.

Pay for  the MLSLive package ($65) and install the MLS add-on for Kodi (formerly known as XBMC):

http://kodi.tv/

 

You still need your MLSLive credentials but the add-on ignores any blackout flags like on the Roku channel. You can even watch the "nationally televised games" that are on ESPN, Fox and Unimas through it. Kodi is great. Yeah there are illegal streaming plug-ins like sportsdevil, channel1 and Genesis but there is plenty of legit content if you want it. I have Kodi running on my old DVR and also on a Raspberry Pi2 box I put together for under $80. If you're lazy you can even buy a pre-built Kodi box for under $100:

I have MLS live. Between all the home games I go to and the games we get on national TV, probably not necessary. I watch other games though but only good ones or midweek games when I got nothing else on.

Kodi is legit, and can even run on the $40 Amazon Fire TV Stick if you know how to sideload Android apps. I run Sportsdevil on it to watch cricket and shit.

Only Twenty20 for me.

I wouldn't use Hola Unblocker, unless you don't mind Hola selling your bandwidth to be used in DDoS attacks: http://www.theverge....users-bandwidth

last year I watched an unprecedented amount of national TV games which used to be my only option.  THis year I got frontier and i have MSG!  I still have to call them and find out why MSG and MSG 2 and MSG plus all show the same programming, but at least I theoretically can watch the non-national games.


Don't blame me, I voted for Kodos.

Depends on what I've got going on. ODI is great to have on in the background while putzing around the house. Test is for sadists.
