I'm trying to trick the FiOS TV app into thinking that I'm home when I'm not so that it lets me watch all my channels. Likely due to DRM, it wants you to be in your house, otherwise, no "Watch Here" option shows up on channels in the app.
I have tried everything. Basically, I set up a VPN router behind the FiOS router. The VPN connects, with the same external IP as the FiOS router, and it still knows. I tried setting the VPN router to have the same MAC address as the FiOS router, and that actually worked, but the app could not get the channels to play.
All I can think of is somehow having the Netgear VPN router "bridge" or route all traffic to the FiOS router by turning it into a wireless extender or something. Somehow the app knows it's not connected to the right network.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks.
