So I subscribed for a month to MLB's internet video coverage. Unfortunately they black out all home games in my market (Yanks and Mets) and since the primary reason I got this is to watch Mets games (that aren't on TV for other reasons) and for various Yankees/Mets day games, I'd like to be able to get around this BS.

I tried changing the zip/address I had on file with my mlb acct., but that didn't work. Perhaps they use IPs to figure out where their users are? Any way I can watch the games I want to?

I think they use your billing address. I go to school in New York, used my charge card to pay, and had the Sox blacked out because my credit card was from MA even though my address is NY. What a waste of money.
