For any further investigations you must provide account credentials.

[jhenkins]

@dstftw It is possible to create your own free acount. The only aggravating thing is the geo-restriction, which is going to make this a difficult thing to test without the use of US-side VPN exit points.

[dstftw]

Then go and create it for me.

[AdmiralDal59]

Apologies if this is unhelpful, but I have a DirecTV account that I can share details privately to investigate this error if needed. I'm currently in the US.
