The zip and home are not being used for the DirecTV Stream app on a Fire Stick. Those are for Amazon marketing. Just like on a Roku. The home is only used with the DirecTV Stream box with location services.  My fire sticks don't even have a home setting.

Hello @DAjohn0424 we know how important is to be able to watch your Local Channels.

Let us share with you that availability is based on your billing ZIP Code and market area. In this case, it's necessary to update your billing contact info in order to get them.

We'll be here if you have any extra questions.

Sign-out of your account. Clear the cache and data. Delete the app. Reboot then re-install.
