Learn me on this spoofer thing. Would it work abroad? Or I’m assuming I would need a physical VPN also?
I have YTTV through a chromecast stick. And the way it works is it syncs your location with your phone. It's a bit tempermental, but the process works like this:
1) power off chromecast/tv
2) download a location spoofer app for your phone. Enable it and choose a location.
3) I usually then reboot my phone, and make sure the spoofer is running with a chosen location.
4) THEN I open YTTV app on my phone, and update the location.
5) Turn on chromecast/tv, and update/sync location from phone.
It may eventually sync or revert back when no longer running the spoofer on your phone. But if you do all this the first time setting up, it might think your permanent home location is CIN.
Supposedly it allows you to change your permanent/home location twice a year (assume for snowbirds). But it seems to allow unlimited temp changes. I really thought they'd lock this down this year after getting Sunday Ticket, but they haven't (at least not yet).
I assume this will work overseas as the location spoofers should allow you to pick any location in the world. A spoofer is different than a VPN, but in theory a VPN would do the same (haven't tried). But if you choose a CIN location for your VPN on your phone and laptop when setting up YTTV, that might work, too.
