When watching network show the show is recorded from a different market. How do I change settings?

When we watch a network show why does it come from a different market? How can I get it to broadcast from local market? The show broadcast on  Fox but not from my local fox affiliate.  Is there a way to change the location.

@PGminor-

Your Roku has no provisions for recording anything.  The recording is being done by whatever channel you are using to access your local content, on the channel's own servers.

You need to be directing your question to the operators of whatever channel you are using to access this content.

Although, if you tell us what channel you are using, there may be someone here familiar with it that can make some suggestions.  A couple of things you could start with now to speed things up and head off some questions later would be:

  • Who is your internet provider?
  • Go to an IP location site like https://www.iplocation.net/ to see where the IP number assigned by your internet provider indicates you are located.  Does it accurately represent your location?
