Wrong local channel on Sling

I am in Tampa Florida and subscribe to Sling.  I get Sling on my iPhone, my Mac, my laptop and through Roku, all of which are connecting through the same WIFI network.   On my iPhone, Mac and laptop I get Fox 13, the local Fox channel for Tampa Bay.  However, on the TVs getting Sling through the Roku, I get Fox 5 in Washington DC.   That was after I went to "systems" and put in my Tampa Zip Code into Roku.  Prior to that I was getting Fox 11 in Los Angeles.  Because everything is accessing the net through the same WIFI with the same IP address, this leads to the conclusion that the problem is with ROKU.   It is only Sling On Rock that is incorrect.  Any suggestions on how to correct this?

    You should contact Sling and ask them.  I'm not sure that the ZIP code you enter in settings is available to apps.  It's been a long time since I looked at the developer documentation for it, but the last time I looked there was no way for an app to get at that setting.
