I've had that issue a lot lately. I typically look at my Yahoo Sports app.

It says ESPN for tonight. Hokie Sports app says RSN (MASN). Seems like Yahoo doesn't care about your location and will say ESPN if it is available on ESPN streaming for those outside of the footprint. All in all, it gets very confusing.

That only means you can watch it if in RSN market. Blacked out **

That may be backwards. **

It's always blacked out in my area.

If you have VPN you can log into a city in a far away state and watch

You using NORD VPN or getting it on the YES link - I see it now!
ChinaCat • 01/07/23 06:29 PM ET
Worked for us last time**
Hokie535 • 01/07/23 05:56 PM ET
I don’t see RSN listed **
VTFuzz • 01/07/23 05:16 PM ET
But it has shown the last 2 games
hokietom87 • 01/07/23 05:25 PM ET
It is most likely blacked out for anyone in the MASN footprint.**
HeisenBurg13 • 01/07/23 03:19 PM ET
its not on MASN, looked again, it is now on MASN, lol

Right, good point. I'm in Florida so I should get it. **
40ozDistrict • 01/07/23 03:25 PM ET
Don't think so, I got used to blackouts and got a VPN**
tallahasseehokie • 01/07/23 04:05 PM ET
Only one inconvenience
tallahasseehokie • 01/07/23 04:10 PM ET
Have a backup plan...there are RSN options in Florida...

HeisenBurg13 • 01/07/23 03:58 PM ET
I'm using Nord VPN now. **
40ozDistrict • 01/07/23 04:40 PM ET
Cool...so you can connect to ESPN and mask your location?**
RRHokie90 • 01/07/23 04:52 PM ET
Correct. I can pick cities all over the US. Then fire up ESPN app. I check

RRHokie90 • 01/07/23 07:02 PM ET
