youtube tv can't determine my location with my t-mobile gateway

That’s just the nature of T-Mobile’s infrastructure, and we can’t change it. But there is a pretty easy fix If you put the YouTube TV app on your cell phone, you can verify your location in the phone app (it uses the phone’s GPS, not the IP address). Then your other YouTube TV apps (on your TV, tablet, PC, streaming devices, etc.) will reflect your correct location. I have to do this periodically, and while it is an annoyance, it only takes a minute and is way better than the problems people face with Hulu Live.
This is no longer the case. Google removed the ability to set it on your phone and have your PC follow. When I contacted YouTubeTV support, they just threw their hands in the air and acted like I was trying to scam them.
