How does Channels get geolocation info ? Say if you have 2 sources like YTTV and Dish? Does the Channels server that uses Chrome determine that or id it using the info you put in from when you signed up for a particular service like on Firefox, Edge, etc
It's different depending on the channel.
So each channel checks thru the Channels program?
Every channel does it in a different way. Some use IP, others use billing zip code, etc.
OK thanks..I thought it was done by the service providers (YTTV etc) not individual channels like ESPN or a local channel
The TVE streams don't come from the service providers. They come from the individual network websites.

If a channel does check the IP, it is checking the IP of the Chrome browser where the server is?
Yes
