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.
