Hi, @11225brooklyn I'm more than glad to help you with your local channels inquiry.
@detuch254 is right. Also, local channel availability is based on your billing ZIP Code and market area attached to the billing address of your payment on file. Did you try the steps below to enable location services on your device so that you can watch local channels?
1. Press Home on your remote.
2. Open Settings > General > System Summary.
3. Make sure your ZIP Code is correct.
4. Go to Location > Location Status and toggle OFF.
5. Press the red button on the side of your device to restart it.
6. Toggle your Location Status ON after you restart.
Just to be on the same page, I would like to ask you some questions.
Which service do you have?
Are you getting any error codes?

When you say "for whatever reason it changed to a po box in Miami" - what changed? The billing address?
