Locast randomly changing cities

[SatboyZ]

Anybody else have this issue?
Yesterday morning turned on tv and NYC locals had switched to Philly, then afternoon Indy, last night Atlanta. This morning back to NYC then Philly again afternoon. Nothing was touched.

Thanks

What device are you using to access Locast? On some devices like laptops, sat receivers, FireTVsticks, and tablets that do not have a GPS function, Locast uses IP geo-location to determine which market you're in. Depending on which ISP you're using, your IP source could be changing due to connection routing or loading. My laptop and Hopper Locast cities often change just by switching my Internet source from AT&T to Verizon and back. I can't do anything about the Hopper's IP, but the laptop and Firesticks can easily be changed using a VPN to route my IP from a Locast served market.

Fun to watch other TV markets other than your own local market!

That's when a VPN with multiple cities to choose from is handy. Sometimes if we miss a program locally, we just shift Locast to another time zone and watch it there an hour or three later...
