According to Forbes contributor Maury Brown, Major League Baseball is striving to make changes to their blackout restrictions for games that are viewed on mobile devices and computers.

Even with a MLB.TV subscription the customer is asked to enter their local television provider to view home team games.
The blackouts also extend to regional televised games, such as when your hometown team has a nationally televised game.
Brown, President of Business of Sports Network, tweeted an example of what is seen when viewing a home game on MLB.TV
