They called me back and reinstated my account. They said I had logged in at two different places at the same time (which I hadn't). I'm not sure what's up with that. I'm all paranoid though because they said if it happens again there's no guarantee they'll reinstate it.

Well this is weird - I did the unlocator/router thing to get the MLB.tv package on my Roku. Everything worked fine and I wanted to be able to watch games on my 2nd TV, so I bought an Amazon TV Fire Stick. Tried to watch the game on Sunday and it was blacked out from being in the local area. I accessed it on my Roku and everything was fine. Why would one device work and another doesn't?

Did you change the DNS on the Fire Stick?

Well shlt, I didn't have to do that on the Roku, didn't even think about that.

Just a heads up to everyone, don't get a Fire Stick. First, they suck compared to Roku; Roku is clean and simple whereas Fire has too much "let us help you!" and "buy these movies!!". Second, I've spent about 2 hours trying to change the DNS and the best I've gotten is "connected with problems", which obviously is the same thing as not connected. About to throw this thing in the trash.

Appreciate the effort but these are essentially the same instructions I had before. I managed to get connected to the network, with the Unlocator DNS entered on the Fire Stick, but still has the Royals game blacked out.

Well shit, I happened to stumble on an article that says the MLB is not supported on iPad, iPhone, Android, and...Fire Stick, since those have internal location services that cannot be bypassed via the network. Wish I wouldve read that a week ago. Guess this piece of shit can go in the trash.

Anyone having issues with Unlocator and Ps3 tonight?
