1. Trying to watch MLB.TV on laptop with Express VPN turned on. When I attempt to stream a live game, I get an error. MLB.TV’s website says you may experience streaming issues while connected to a VPN.

   Any thoughts?

   1. Hi Robert,

7. Why are Astros games still blacked out using a vpn and setting location as UK? I’ve followed instructions. This has been worthless so far

   1. Hi Andrew,

      Are you watching the games from a browser? It’s possible that your geolocation is being detected and causing the blackout. To fix this, use the ExpressVPN browser extension: https://www.expressvpn.com/support/vpn-setup/expressvpn-browser-extension/

   Can you provide me with a streaming site that could provide Fox Sports Midwest via a Roku device?

   1. Hi Bud,

      Unfortunately, we don’t know of any such sites. Please try looking on Reddit to see if there are alternate options.

      If you’d like to watch Fox Sports Midwest on your Roku, please first set up ExpressVPN on your device (https://www.expressvpn.com/support/vpn-setup/stream-on-roku-with-virtual-router-or-router/), connect to a U.S. server locaiton that has access to Fox Sports Midwest, then launch the FOX Sports Go channel on your Roku.

   2. Download FS Midwest app. Watch games for free.

10. I have the ExpressVPN service. Can I use ExpressVPN to sign into MLB.TV to stream blackout games and then cast to a chromecast, or will it note that my Chromecast is on a router located in a blackout area?

    Reply

    1. Hi Lee,

       For the smoothest streaming experience, we do not recommend casting to a Chromecast.

11. tried to stream Baltimore Orioles games on IPVANISH vpn using amazon firetv. miserable failure. why would YOUR vpn be better ? and i’ve heard VPN’s have some sort of trouble with Amazon fire products (by FAR the best and most commonly used streaming devices. Obviously your vpn is not helpful to us if it doesnt work with FireTv/stick products ) what’s a roku/ an australian animal ?) thanx

    1. Hi Gregory,

       ExpressVPN is fully supported on Amazon Fire products. You can follow this guide: https://www.expressvpn.com/support/vpn-setup/setup-amazon-fire-stick-fire-tv/ and enjoy ExpressVPN’s 30-day money-back guarantee.

       Roku is a popular smart TV and streaming player company. I’m not sure if it’s also the name of a species of animal found in Australia, but I’ll keep an eye out next time I visit 🙂

       1. I am going through all your youtube videos, and redoing everything step by step hopefully this will work.

          1. This didn’t help. I’ve tried attaching mediastreamer, but everything else is set up through router. I don’t know how to attach this through expressvpnrouter. Any suggestions?

             Reply

       2. I got it up and working now. I had to add Media streamer to my expressvpn router. Thankyou for all the youtube videos that walked me through this.

          Reply

13. I have my AppleTV set up with Mediastreamer and MLB does not work. I then changed my router’s L2PT settings to be out of the blackout zones, and now every game is blacked out. I’ll be honest, this was one of the big reasons for me to subscribe in the first place.

    1. I should add that it also doesn’t work in browser, either. MLB.tv knows where I am…

15. Just got signed up today and used the step by step guide for setting up with a 4th gen Apple TV by first creating a ddns account, then doing the Dynamic DNS Registration, then manually
    configuring the DNS server IP on the Apple TV’s settings. After restarting via settings (per instructions) I still get blacked out of local games. Any suggestions?

17. MLB at bat is not working for me. I tried a GPS location spoofer in conjunction with VPNexpress and it still doesnt work. I am using device gps only, not advanced tracking.

    Reply

    1. Hi Vic,

       Try not to use a GPS location spoofer with ExpressVPN. With a VPN, your IP address is already hidden and replaced by the server address you connect to. If you have further problems, please contact the Support team at https://www.expressvpn.com/support/ for further assistance.

20. It’s not working for the World Baseball Classic on mlb.tv only watchable in the US. I need help or a refund on my money.

    1. Hey B,

       Have you tried connecting to a server location in the U.S. before watching? Try to run your VPN first and then visit the site you’re trying to watch from. You can also contact the Support team at https://www.expressvpn.com/support/ if you need help 🙂

21. I think MLB has gotten wise to the VPN trick. I’m trying to stream the World Baseball Classic in the UK (where it’s blacklisted). Have used Express VPN to both DC and NY and MLB TV says,

    “We’re sorry. We have determined that you are blacked out of watching the game you selected, due to television broadcaster restrictions. An archive copy of the game will be available 90 minutes after the game ends.”

    Is there a solution to this, or are we stuck?

    🙁

    1. Hi Nick, try connecting to another location in the U.S. Or contact the Support Team, who might be able to help you.

22. Can I stream the South African cricket tour to New Zealand?

    Reply

    1. Hi Christian,

       A VPN can help you stream sports no matter where you are. Simply pick a broadcaster that is showing the South African cricket tour, connect to a VPN server in that location, then you’ll be able to watch the games in New Zealand or anywhere else!

23. Is there any chance that I can get VPN Express to use in Spain and UK while I am away in Europe this month. We are huge baseball fans and don’t want to miss a minute. If it’s possible, can I use wifi to connect in our hotel room? Thanks for your help.
