Phones and TV showing wrong location

[Jimb5]

We are located in west central Illinois. Our samsung phones and tv constantly show ads from Minneapolis, MN. Local news is also from Minneapolis. 

Even though our default location with Sam's Club is in Illinois, our latest order shows it's shipping from Minneapolis. 

We think this changed when we got a Samsung smart TV.

Any suggestions.

Hello Jimb5, Welcome to the Community. We understand it would be frustrating to not be able to see local information.

Make sure you are signed in to your Samsung account on all devices.

Have you checked the location settings on the phones? Here is a link to improve GPS accuracy: https://www.samsung.com/uk/support/mobile-devices/the-gps-location-on-my-smartphone-is-inaccurate-ho...

For the TV, try the following:

Reset the TV (https://www.samsung.com/us/support/answer/ANS00077524/)

and when you are on the screen that says “Enjoy a wide range of smart features”, Press Mute - Volume up - Channel up - Mute on the remote.

Then a window with the country selection will appear.

Let us know if this helps.

What is your IP location as assigned from your cell provider or ISP? I'm not asking for it, just look at what it shows.

If whatever streaming service you use on the TV doesn't have an IP location overide like YouTubeTV live, you may be stuck. Same for phones, what IP location when on cellular?
