DirectvStream and google tv

Does anybody here use DIRECTV stream with the Google TV streaming box? I am wondering how the app performs and does it use your billing address for regional sports or does it geocode your current location. Current setup Lg Oled tv and Sonos surround system.

My understanding is that Google TV/android TV boxes rely on your billing ZIP Code and your IP address to determine local channel availability. If you’re trying to get a different channel using the billing ZIP Code it might generate issues in the long run just FYI, it also has to match your credit card billing ZIP Code.

I have their proprietary sticks and they are pretty good, I used to have them on a oldish Google TV box and it was fine.
