How do I get my local PBS station recognized so that I can see live broadcasts

Jump to solution

I can't see live broadcasts from my local PBS station.  I enter the zip code but it doesn't take. I've been able to get this resolved before, but not now. So how do I get Roku to add my zip code to whatever apparatus/algorithm/scheme/whatever so that I can see my local station?
