Hi there! I understand you're seeing a message saying you're "out of network" on ROOT SPORTS Stream, even though you haven't changed your location. Let's work through this together.

First, just to clarify: Are you trying to watch on the ROOT SPORTS app on your Windows device using a browser with the WebKit engine? Also, are you connected to the same home network or ISP as usual?

Here are some steps we can try to resolve this:

1. Verify Network Location and IP Address
Sometimes IP addresses assigned by your ISP can change, which might affect location detection. You can check your current IP address by visiting a site like whatismyip.com and compare it to your usual IP if you know it. If your IP has changed to one outside ROOT SPORTS’ authorized broadcast region, that could trigger this message.

2. Restart Network Equipment and Device
Power cycle your modem/router by unplugging it for about 30 seconds, then plug it back in. Also, restart your Windows PC and then try again. This often refreshes network settings and can fix location detection issues.

3. Log Out and Log Back In
In the ROOT SPORTS Stream app (or website), log out of your account, close the app/browser fully, and then log back in. This can refresh your session and location permissions.

4. Check VPN or Proxy Settings
If you are using a VPN, proxy, or any DNS service that routes your traffic, it may appear you are outside the authorized network. Please disable any VPN or proxy temporarily and try again.

5. Test on Another Network
If possible, try connecting your device to a different network (like a mobile hotspot) to see if the issue persists. This can help isolate whether the problem is with your network or the app.

6. Clear Cache and Cookies (Browser Specific)
Since you're on Windows and the browser uses WebKit, clearing browser cache and cookies can sometimes help if data related to location is cached incorrectly.

If you've tried some of these steps already or if the problem persists, please let me know exactly what you've attempted, and we can dig deeper. There's a chance it could be a regional broadcast rights issue or a temporary network service glitch on ROOT SPORTS’ side.

Are you using a TV provider subscription that includes ROOT SPORTS, or are you subscribed directly through ROOT SPORTS Stream?

Let me know, and we'll get you back to watching that game!
