Local channels changed to out of state channels

How can I get my local channels back? We live in central Connecticut but we are now seeing local news/commercials from the Boston, MA area. It started a few days ago. I've tried entering my zip code in the settings tab but still no change. Any info is appreciated.

Re: Local channels changed to out of state channels

I'm not sure but. I think if you set your zip code to all 00000.and do a restart. And see what happens. It may clear up he cache.

At that point I'd recommend putting the city zip code, of the broadcast towers your seeking on your ato antenna. But after you enter zip code, do a test to play it safe. And I hope this helps. I've been having challenges with this my self. They may come up with a permanent fix soon. 

Thanks, let me know if it works in a reply please, a kudo wouldn't hurt for trying anyways.
