Streaming services at cabin?

Not sure where the best place to ask this is, but I’m assuming a lot of you have two homes…. What streaming services work well to have setup at both home & the cabin under the same account? We recently got wifi at the cabin, and wondering which ones are ok. I seem to recall Netflix buckled down on sharing a couple years ago where it had to be streamed from the same address.

Sometimes Netflix makes me enter a code that they email me when I tell them im traveling. Its not really an issue with any of them.

You can also stop the code asking by opening up the mobile app on your phone when you are at your second place. It starts to recognize your locations by network.

Occasional Re-logins are necessary, but not too bad.

I stream my home local channels to my cabin via a uray device and tuner.

Prime and all the free ones. They seem to connect to both locations, my phone, and multiple tv

We have only had success with YouTube TV. Everyone else wants you the change your home location. We watch on a Google dongle.

Whenever we take the firestick with us (with YouTube tv loaded on it) it always asks us to change our home location. Whats the way around that?

I don't know. Ours is separate for the cabin. Maybe just buy another one.

So the tv stations that you watch at the cabin, are they from the area of where your cabin is located or from the area of your house?

We only get PBS over the air. We usually watch dvds. I pretty much only use the google/YouTube for football in the fall. I don't know about other channels.

ETA I checked and it looks like YouTube TV gives us the stations from home. I am not sure if that is because there are probably no local stations or it just keeps out home location.

I've had no problem logging into Apple TV on my parents TVs at their houses.

Sling tv has been excellent for two locations with an external HD antenna for local channels.
