I disagree wholeheartedly as a fellow sports fan cable cutter. The problem with those sports packages is that you can't follow your home team. You can follow literally every other team, but not your own. As a White Sox fan, I would have missed probably >70% (a guess) of their games had I paid for the MLB.tv package.

hmmh... how about with a VPN?

ESPN's attempt to block World Cup in USA if you didn't have a cable was pretty easily circumvented. And then there's the option of using a buddy's cable login.

Home games are often blacked out on broadcast or cable channels too though.
