Home app sunset automation coming on two hours early

I have seen this issue in the forums but I have not seen a solution or addressed in tvOS updates. Locations services are enabled on phone and everything looks correct on Apple TV 4K. Has anyone been able to find a solution?

apple tv not finding location services My NHL app does not recognise a location which should be set by the Apple TV to enable a live feed. I was advised that the Apple TV does not have a location defined despite the Apple TV indicating location services enabled. Is there any way to confirm that location services on the Apple TV is functioning correctly or to re-enable?

Screen Mirroring issues with Macbook pro 14 M1 Pro when location service is updating ? I have big issue when screen mirroring from my Macbook pro 14 M1 Pro 32Go 2021 on 2 different Apple TV 4K 64Go and 32Go. The video and audio is freezing sometimes : every 5 mins during 10 seconds. And it appears only when my localization is updated : the icon "localization" in the top menu is appearing ! I have not problem with my Macbook Pro 13 2020 Intel 2020 without location services activated, maybe it is that ? My 2 macbook pro are with MacOS 12.3.1. I want to keep location service activated.

Apple TV Location I manage the internet connectivity on my company's business aircraft. My question revolves around how the Apple TV gets its location. We often fly multiple international flights. We are connecting on a KA band satellite network and the ISP we use has all of their data egress to their own data center in Florida prior to it going out to the internet and back before it goes over the satellite system. When we use the Roku device, it gets its location via the IP address our ISP gives us, therefore, no matter where we are in the world we can watch ATT TV, Netflix, basically any US based streaming services. When we try to stream over the Apple TV it works fine until we leave the continental USA. Then we get the error stating content not authorized, etc. I assume this is based on location. How does the Apple TV do this? Does it acquire location via surrounding iPhone's GPS? I cannot figure this out and would like to know the exact real reason.

Hello,

Have you tried to delete the automation then re-set it back up?

Yes, I did try this and ensured location services is on. I have Apple TV set up with auto updates but it did not do any since 13.4. I just updated it to 13.4.6 so will see how the automation works tomorrow and report back. I have time zone on always setting as well.
