At step 306, it may be determined whether the user device satisfies the blackout condition. The determination may be made by the user device (e.g., or by the intermediary device). The determination may be made by comparing the blackout condition to provisioning information of the user device. The provisioning information may comprise location information associated with one or more of the user device or an account associated with the user device. For example, the provisioning information may comprise a billing zip code associated with the account, a phone number area code associated with the account, a service address associated with the account, and/or the like. The provisioning information may comprise a global positioning system coordinate (e.g., of a mobile device), an internet protocol address (e.g., or portion thereof associated with a location or region), a provisioning device (e.g., directly providing service to the user device and located at a known location), and/or the like.

If the user device satisfies the blackout condition, step 308 may be performed. If the user device does not satisfy the blackout condition, step 314 may be performed.

At step 308, access to the content may be blocked. The user device (e.g., or the intermediary device) may block the user from viewing the content. The user device may deny a request to access the content. If a user has tuned to the content (e.g., a content channel), a blank screen may be displayed, an error message may be displayed, an encrypted version of the content may be displayed such that the user is not able to discern the content.
