Can’t get local channels

I do have a Roku TV but it gives me Local TV News for Hartford, Connecticut.  I am near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.  How to I change that?

    Welcome, Willowe 

    We see that you want to access local channels at your location. To confirm, are you using an antenna or a cable box? If so, try changing the zip code on your Roku TV. 

    Navigate to Settings System > Zip code > enter your ZIP code, and refer to this link for more information. After entering your ZIP code, you will need to set up the Live TV input again and let your Roku TV re-scan the channels. 

    Hope this helps! Let us know if you need more info.

    I assume you're not using an antenna to receive your local channels.  What app are you using?  There's a ZIP Code setting under the System settings, but I honestly don't know what it affects.
