I am in Baton Rouge and recently switched from Cox to Directv Stream. Love it so far. I knew going in that NBC and Fox weren’t available. No worries.

This morning, we are getting locals from Atlanta, including NBC and Fox. Nothing has changed on our end- same router, same network, etc. I’m not complaining. Just curious. Anyone else have this happen this morning? Or is it unique to us?

VPN? Not sure how it determines your local but perhaps you have a VPN running that is reporting your location as Atlanta? Just a guess on my part.

Looks like you are being framed. The police are on the way.

I’m not sure why you are getting Atlanta, unless your ISP is set to your home network and they are in Atlanta. If you set your home network to your wi-fi router and zip, it should pick up your locals. Also, I’m in Lafayette and have NBC and Fox on my DirectTV Stream, and also, it looks like NFL Network is back too.

I just realized it’s not every box. Looks like it might only be on one. I haven’t had a chance to check all the others.
