MLB Postseason/World Series

I live in an area too far from any major city to be able to receive OTA signals. Literally the only reason I pay money to DirecTV is to be able to watch the MLB Postseason and World Series, primarily on FOX, which is blacked out on both DirecTV and the Fox Sports app due to money grubbing by both DirecTV and Nexstar.

I already had to use up a free trial period to YouTube TV so I could watch the MLB All-Star Game. The Fox Sports app also states that it is unavailable due to this dispute. In your opinion, is there any chance FOX will be returned by the Postseason in October, or should I just cut my losses now, cancel DirecTV, and look for an alternative?

As I said, antenna is not an option where I live. If anyone has a better idea, I'm all ears, but looks like this is it for me after 18 years with DirecTV unless something changes soon.

Unfortunately, this does not help or provide any new information. I guess I'll just have to cross my fingers and if there's no resolution by October 7, I'll be switching providers. Which is disappointing.
