Would I be red-flagged if I did? I believe I say it sees your IP address and that concerns me because I'm "moved". I don't want to lose my "locals" so I won't do anything until I have some confirmation I don't have to worry. Yes, I know you guys think this service isn't the best, but it's all we have right now. Also, I know some people might suggest a VPN, but I don't make much money so I can't afford another bill right now, even if it's just a few bucks per month.
 
Nevermind on this question. I signed into Google Assistant on my Hopper 3 and whenever I asked Google Home about where to find some type of location, it still thinks I am at my "moved" address (North Mankato, MN) and not at my real location (Rochester, MN) and whenever I want to find something from my town I have to ask Google that plus add "in Rochester, MN". So, there's really no problem.
