I am not sure how close you live to the Milwaukee area, but the rule is if you live within 35 miles of the "regional sports network" that shows the game's coverage area, then you are blacked out as well. I dont know how far that network reaches for you though, bro.
Yeah, I know. We're talking about watching the replays/archived games on LP though. For instance, with MLB.TV, I naturally can't watch the Brewers live, but usually around/less than an hour after the game is finished, the archive goes live, and you can watch. Right now if I wanted to, I could go back and watch any Brewers game from the previous year. LP doesn't allow you to do that.
They (NBA) used to do that with all local AND National Televised games. This year, they took the restriction off of the NT games, but it's still there for local (atleast for me).
