I have a firestick 2nd gen and I have a VPN (surf shark) to make it seem like I am in my hometown. My YouTube tv worked fine for the first month I did this, but recently when I try to open the app it just stays on the loading screen until it eventually gives me an error that it cannot connect to the network. However, when my VPN is not connected YouTube tv will load and act normal until I click a show to watch, and then I get the “YouTube tv is not available on your area” error. I think YouTube tv may have updated to try and block access when using a VPN. Does anyone know how to fix this/get around it? Or know of a different VPN that will work? Thanks
Most likely scenario is that YouTube TV sees hundreds of people connecting to same ip address. You should try a different surfshark location, then a different provider. Maybe one with a dedicated ip address.
I would try looking for a vpn provider that has a dedicated IP address. I haven’t looked recently who has them but I know Torguard has that option
Trying a different location worked, thanks!
