Is there a way to get local channels on just this one tv box?

I am house sitting for my parents while they r in Florida. They have 3 tv boxes. They took 2 of those boxes to Florida with them. The box that was left at the house for me, is there a way to get local channels on just this one box? The other 2 boxes are programmed for Florida so I have lost the local channels here at the house. Is there a way to get them back on this tv box without interfering with their tv in Florida? Please say there is!! I'm lost without the local channels.

Negative. To receive local channels out of Florida the address on the account would have to of been changed, and there can only be one address on file at a time. The only way to restore locals would be to change the address back but they would lose the Florida locals in the process. An alternative option would be to purchase a tv antenna and try to receive your locals that way.
