Uconn Blackout on ESPN3... Possible Cause/Solution

[Marty Jackson]

I've been trying to watch the past two games on ESPN3 but kept getting the 'Blackout' message from ESPN... I'm up in Central MA, so according to the blackout map, I should be fine.

Apparently my IP address is coming out of Newtown, CT so ESPN blocks me out. Not sure why that happens but anyway... Relatively easy fix, just 'renew' your IP address.

In case others are on the fringe of the blackout map, thought I'd spread the word. I thought I heard someone else in a post way back mention they were getting the blackout in Eastern MA as well...

I'm probably explaining how to turn on a computer for some of more the technical folks here, but thought I'd provide my learning just in case someone else might benefit...

I'm in eastern mass. I was at the games, so could not confirm whether the broadcast was blacked out on ESPN3, but I can check this time around.
