TuneIn Radio thinks I'm in US

[mtbnrulz]

Is anyone else having an issue with Tune In radio in Canada?  for the longest time it was working and playing my local radio stations and now when I go to Local Radio station it says i'm in Ashburn VA, and my local radio stations that I have marked as favorites are now stating not compatible in this country.  If I go to TuneIn.com it seems ot detect my location fine and my radio stations work. Amazon support has been useless so far.

There are a lot of posts in this section dealing with setting up your account as US even though you are in Canada. I suggest you try some of those. After I got Echo set up as a US device, then a number of location settings had to be changed to my location to pick things like local weather, traffic etc.  Check your Alexa settings for the location of the device. Change it to your local city.  I think my weather came from Washington state for a while also when I first set it up.

I am Canadian using amazon.com and this issue of "Ashburn, VA" is happening all of a sudden to me too.  I sent in an email asking for the issue to be forwarded to technicians for attention.  It might help if we all send emails with citing the same issue.

I just got an email back saying I could call technicians to discuss the issue and they gave me the number.  But I will do it later this afternoon when I have time. And I will post the results.

But I'm using Amazon.ca, should this be an issue?  I'd expect it to be an issue if was attached to amazon.com

I just spoke with an Amazon rep in Knoxville, Tennessee.  The issue is system wide Amazon.com and Amazon.ca.  Rep's app showed Ashburn, VA as well.  He said there are tickets noting the issue and he suspects since it is system wide they will fix it quickly. He will touch base with me via email by Friday to update me.  mtbnrulz Amazon.com has far more features and far fewer issues than Amazon.ca that is why all of my devices are registered on .com and not .ca.

That's good to know.  Thanks Laurel for the update.

No one got back to me today so I wrote again.  I got a baffle gab response and I lit into them about not following up.  They then suggested it was my account so I got really firm with them, and went through the whole scenario again and said the technician said it was system wide and not my account. Just got another email apologizing and saying the technicians would reply to me directly when they get it fixed.  So here's hoping it is soon.  I'll keep you posted. Here's what the said after I got horsey with them lol.

Looks like they copied and pasted every apologetic response they have to you.

Everything is good on all my devices.

Mine were acting wonky and still not working but also not connecting to the backend period.  Re-registered the devices and all is good again.
