So you don't have to pay for the vpn. Do this to get localbtv. Download the install the Windscribe vpn/proxy extention for chrome. Is easiest to turn off and on.
Click on the extention icon and pick east coast,central or west coast. And pick one of the free cities that localbtv has. I pick NY since live on the east coast and they have a free city there. Now for the free version you only get 1000 mbs. But will tell you how to get around that for btv. Next go to localbtv and register with the city. I picked NY and I put in the zipcode for NY. Then put in my email and registered. After you are registered it don't matter it seems if live in a different state. When I look at my profile now when using it it still shows my state and ip and they are not NY. But don't do any of that yet. OK now that you have your vpn on and are registered for localbtv for city you used go to the guide and to the station you want to watch and pick it. Let it load up and is playing. Now to get around that 1000 mgs you have so your not using much of it.
Go up to the windscribe vpn icon and open it then click on the big round button to turn the vpn off. Your station will keep playing and you won't use any of the 1000 mgs. It shows in the vpn where your at on mbs.
When you are ready to go to another station in localbtv like from cozi to rewind first go back up to you windscribe icon open it and push the big round button again to turn it back on. Then go to the guide and pick the next station like I did went from cozi to rewind and pick watch live and let that station you picked load up and start playing and then go back up to the windscribe icon, open and click on the big round button again to turn it back off again. Doing it this way and you won't use much of the 1000 mgs you get free. Just don't forget to turn it off and on for each channel change. Yes is an extra little step there but you won't have to pay for a vpn/proxy.
Also once you sign up and go to a station like antenna tv save the bookmark in chrome and name it like NYbtv. That way it don't matter what channel you shut it down on even if its a different channel like cozi when you click on the bookmark it will open on the station you closed down on.
Just don't forget to turn on the vpn before you click on the bookmark so the channel starts running when you open it then you can turn off the vpn once the channel loads. Hope this will help some that want localbtv to run from another state once it is registered. (shame you can put a vpn in roku) but at least you can run it in your browsers with vpn.
P.S. Might be wrong about the saving on the bytes but thats the way it seems to be working for me.
