    • worked for me as well. it was working fine last week but then I started getting push notifications from a local news channel station. the only thing I installed since last week was an some software called youtube-tar, it was suppose to download videos from youtube, but it did not work correctly, so i removed it. But I still continued to get the very specialized news channel station “pushes”.

      I live in baton rouge. The push notifications were from a news station in New Orleans.
      I dont even watch N.O. news.
