Dutch_12078 Posted June 19, 2019 Report Share Posted June 19, 2019 Locast.org, the non-profit that streams locals for free (donations requested) has now added Rapid City and Sioux Falls, SD to their other 9 cities. For Dish and DirecTV subscribers, a Locast app has been added to the current receivers. The website and app must detect that you're in the correct market area to use the service. https://www.cordcuttersnews.com/locast-launches-its-free-live-tv-service-in-south-dakota/ Quote Dutch 2001 GBM Landau 34' Class A F-53 Chassis, Triton V10, TST TPMS 2011 Toyota RAV4 4WD/Remco pump ReadyBrute Elite tow bar/brake system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rynosback Posted July 14, 2019 Report Share Posted July 14, 2019 But now that bad news. I can not find a VPN that can say that I am in Baltimore, MD. So sad....... Quote 2015 Ram 3500 RC DRW CTD AISIN 410 rear 2016 Mobile Suites 38RSB3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutch_12078 Posted July 14, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2019 I use the "Location Guard" extension in the Chrome browser on my PC and the "Fake GPS" app on my Android phone to fool Locast about my actual location. I stream either device to our FireTVstick for watching on the big screen. Locast currently thinks I'm in the San Francisco market area instead of southern Vermont.

rynosback Posted July 14, 2019 Report Share Posted July 14, 2019 (edited) Would the fame gps app work on the Firestick? I tried to fool the program by setting my location on the Firestick, but it did not fool it.

I tried to fool the program by setting my location on the Firestick, but it did not fool it. The Firestick doesn't have GPS capability. I did try sideloading the Fake GPS app, but it wouldn't run likely due to the missing GPS support. I haven't dug any further yet, but I'll let you know if I find a work around.

rynosback Posted July 15, 2019 Report Share Posted July 15, 2019 Let me know if you do. As so far 8 vpn companies do not have servers in the cities that I need. Quote 2015 Ram 3500 RC DRW CTD AISIN 410 rear 2016 Mobile Suites 38RSB3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
