Can’t get local channels even after changing zip codes

The Roku channel live tv is not my local channels. Even putting in my local zip code will not change it, no matter how many times I change it.

    When Roku says "Live TV", they don't necessarily mean old fashioned antenna live TV.  Only Roku TVs can get your local channels and they need a connected antenna.  The Roku Channel cannot.  If you don't have a Roku TV, you need an app that provides your local stations like YoutubeTV, Philo, Sling, etc.
