How do I change the Location so I can get local weather and news?

Roku shows my location as Seattle, WA even though we're in Manton, CA. How do I change the location so I can watch local news and weather?

tv & player wifi

Hi Patti51,

Thanks for reaching out, and welcome to the Roku Community!

Try changing your zip code by following the steps below.

Press Home on your Roku TV remote.

Scroll and select Settings.

Select System.

Select the zip code and enter your zip code.

Press OK to update the zip code.

Then try to rescan to see if that makes any difference.

Thanks,
Rey

    I am having the same problem! It suddenly thinks I'm in Bonita Springs, Florida, when I live in Maine. I use Hulu Live and am getting Florida news channels. I have Hulu Live set to my current location, my zip code in Roku IS MY CORRECT ZIP CODE and so far the only advice I get is to put in my zip code. I've reset my Roku, resent the network connection, etc. It still thinks I'm in Florida. I know this doesn't help you, but if you've found a solution, let me know!
