Yes, that's exactly it.

RadioTime (who provides that whole menu thing) uses some sort of GeoIP
service which maps IP numbers into locations.  These can be pretty
accurate, but they can also be completely nuts.  My parents routinely
move from Fremont to Hollywood, even though they actually live in
neither location.... google's GeoIP and Comcast's DHCP assignments just
make them virtually move.

The solution is to create a radio time account at
http://www.radiotime.com/ and the attach your MySB account to that at
MySqueezebox.com.  This will tell their servers to NOT use GeoIP guesses
to locate you but just use the provided location.
