Re: Wrong Location
I have the same problem. I live in Fresno, CA and geolocation services report my IP address as in Sacramento, CA 150 miles away. This means that my TV app (Sling) will not give me the one local Fresno channel it would ordinarily give me. I think TM is using DHCP to hand out IP addresses and the pool of addresses is shared between Sacramento and Fresno but mostly Sacramento (once of twice it gave me an address which was geolocated to Fresno). The problem is that this a 3-way fight between TM, Sling and the geolocation services. Even if I could get Sling (or any similar app which uses IP geolocaton) to say I was in Fresno, it would only last until TM assigned me a new IP. The geolocation services can't fix this because the IP sometimes is in Sacramento and sometimes in Fresno. The best solution would be for TM to split the IP address pool into two pools one for Sacramento and one for Fresno and tell the geolocation services about this.73Visto0likes0Comentarios
