YouTubeTV does better geolocation if the network connection is WiFi. In
that case, geolocation can reference the WiFi database that Google scrapes
when they take the Streetview video.

Anyone here from the Youtube TV side of Google?   I've had a ticket open
for 2 months on one of my /24 subnets getting the wrong City location.
Every ticket reply from Google confirms that they see the incorrect
location, They reference that it is part of a larger geo-location
problem with YoutubeTV, and it's been sent to engineering.  For 2 months
Engineering has been 'working on a fix' with no ETA.

Anyone know what this massive geo-location issue is that they reference,
and when it will be fixed?  Other subnets are locating correction, just
this one /24, that's part of a larger block I've had for 20 years.
