I recently bought a TCL TV running Android. I’m in Melbourne and have the TV directly plugged in with Ethernet, but it tells me ABC iView and other Australian TV apps can’t be installed because I’m in the wrong country.
Stan works fine, and Netflix shows I’m in Australia, I don’t have a VPN on.
I’ve tried a factory reset, checked to ensure I picked Australia in the setup, everything seems to be fine except these local apps. Weirdly it lets me download the New Zealand TV apps.
Any suggestions? Google searches have suggested it’s the IP, I will look up how to set a static IP but wanted to see if there were any ideas before I did.
Your have to switch the country of your Google account, its not IP based. It can be done, but is very limited, don't expect to be able to do it on a daily basis or something.
