    It doesn’t seem to be based on geolocation from what I can tell. My subnet hasn’t changed in a few years, just the last octet of my IP address. The geolocation when looked up has remained the same the entire time. If my IP address changes from x.x.x.23 to x.x.x.24, they consider it a “home location change”.

      The initial mapping of the local channels seemed to be when I did a trial. Despite having to put in my home address I was getting local channels from a TV market about 150mi away (coincidentally where my IP incorrectly geolocates to about half the time) even though I know other people that have used it and get our correct local channels.

        I don’t use Hulu live TV, so I don’t know if the local channels are mapped correctly. They should be, as the geo IP for our address is in the correct county.
