Ok thanks. I’ve done all of this and still don’t have my local channels. Instead I have channels from another state. So frustrating

So after a lot of troubleshooting with Hulu, I realized my Roku ip address was diff than what I was looking up on ipchicken.com. Once I gave Hulu my Roku ip address and they plugged that in on hulus end, logged out of Hulu then back in, boom my local channels were back.

Hi Community users!

Thanks for bringing this to our attention and we appreciate the efforts you've taken in troubleshooting the Hulu app.

We highly recommend contacting the channel providers directly about this issue since many channels and apps on Roku are developed, managed, and updated by the providers themselves. They will be able to provide further information regarding this matter.

We hope you find this information helpful.

Best regards,

Carly, I posted a fix above.  As soon as Hulu matched the ip address of my Roku the problem was resolved.

My channels were listing Greensboro, NC and I'm in Charlotte, NC. I logged out of Hulu on my Roku and back in, my Roku now pulls my Charlotte, NC locals again!

And...after a few hours it's back to Greensboro, NC locals and logging out and back in doesn't work.

My solution is posted in this thread. You’ll have to call Hulu and provide them with the Roku IP address to fix. Go into the Roku menu screen to find the ip address.

The only IP my menu shows is my internal IP my router assigned to it and my routers default gateway IP. Those both have 192.168.1.# sequencing and aren't WAN related.

@TimmyTwo2, use a site like http://icanhazip.com/ to get your public IP address.
