Yeah, that's probably Roku's fault... google says it only determines location by IP address. Apparently an Amazon Fire stick looks at router info and some are even GPS enabled.... granted, last time my YTTV bitched about location on my Fire, it wanted me to verify by phone, I assume so it could use GPS.

Now that I think about it, wonder if enabling location use for YTTV even when the app isn't in use would help with such issues... if it would actually communicate back to other devices.
