hey Shane,

as you asked, I provided my details. Interestingly, the only other PM I have sent you was exactly the same information in January this year. I hope you have more success this time.

 

Cheers,

Jim

Hey guys - same issue for location services in Qld.  Been trying to sort it for ages, mostly with the streaming tv services and Sony (using Bravia tv).  Only thing I can determine is that the private IP address used by the tv on my local network is confusing the location services settings.  When using my iPad or phone I get the correct geo location for tv ect, but not with the Sony tv which shows a private IP address.  Pain in the asss..... any other help or advice would be appreciated

Forgot to add - I did have some success with channel 7 streaming service.  They provided some advice which seemed to fix the geo thingy for their service only, and can now get the local 7 new service when prior to that I could only get interstate news.    Can't find their email advice now........😣☹️

Hi Shane,

 

I'm having the same problem.  I'm based in Adelaide, but when using home wifi (TPG) it says I'm based in South Burnie, Tasmania.  Has created a couple of issues recently when proving my geolocation and I've had to switch to my local 4G network to get it reading correctly.

 

Can you please help fix ?

 

Thanks, Sam.

Interestingly when I click your name, no "send a message" option pops up.

 

Refer attached screenshot.

 

Thanks, Sam.
