According to Google, Rokus do not support VPN and I'm back to the "router plugged into a router" thing.

For the time being, it's a non-issue as I no longer have YTTV.

And with respect to Fish, I STILL think YTTV made a change in late 2024. I just talked to my friend who also has Verizon Home 5G and he said he's had it for approximately 2 years and had YTTV that whole time. He never had an issue until December of 24, approximately the same time it started for me. So SOMEBODY, made some kind of switch. The difference between me and him is that he's only had to reset it a couple of times since then. I've had to reset probably on average of a least once a month and more right before I cancelled it.

I have a working theory that MAYBE it's because he has an Android phone and it's doing something in the background with his location. Because the problem started for both of us after we had a day trip to STL about the first Saturday in December and the problem started almost immediately after that trip. However I'm not sure how that relates to me though because I have an iphone with the locations services turned off except when using the app, And I NEVER use the app except when I had to refresh my location for my app on the Roku.
