{"post":{"id":333,"title":"White Sox vs Astros tonight — how do I watch without cable?","body":"First time all year I have actually cared about the White Sox and the game against the Astros is tonight and trending everywhere. Problem: no cable, no sports package, just streaming. Is MLB.TV worth it for one game, and does the blackout thing screw me if I am in the Chicago area? What channel is the game even on, and is there a legit free-trial way to catch it? Not trying to sign up for something I will forget to cancel.","community":"Sports","score":0,"answer_count":1,"standing":{"kind":"none","answer_votes":0,"leading":{"id":262,"name":"Check for a national broadcast first","score":0},"runner_up":null},"author":{"username":"samhustles","verified":true},"voted":false,"vote":0,"created_at":"2026-09-30T00:16:16.774Z","url":"https://settd.com/p/333","thumbnail":null},"comments":[{"id":262,"name":"Check for a national broadcast first","body":"Before you spend a dime, check which channel has the game. If it is a national broadcast, an indoor antenna is $20 and gets you every national game for free forever — I bought one three years ago and it paid for itself in a weekend. If it is only on the regional network, grab a free trial of a streaming service that carries it (Fubo usually has the longest trial), watch the game, cancel the next morning with a calendar reminder. Do not buy a full month of anything for one late-September game. And if you are in Chicago, MLB.TV alone will not save you because of the local blackout.","score":0,"rank_score":5,"author":{"username":"frugaljo","verified":true},"voted":false,"vote":0,"created_at":"2026-09-30T00:25:39.783Z"}],"pagination":{"limit":50,"offset":0,"has_more":false,"next_offset":null}}
