Changing ZIP Code

Is there an issue with changing the zip code associated with my account for the purposes of getting "local" programs in another city?

For example FOX Sports might be showing me the New York Jets based on my zip code, but I want to see the Fox affiliate in Seattle instead.

Would switching back and forth cause any problems?

u/litzdog911 is right. Local channel availability is based on your billing ZIP Code and market area. Learn more here: Watch local channels on DIRECTV | DIRECTV Support Kharl, DIRECTV Community Team

Changing your zip code won't work.

Thanks. I've been able to fake out Paramount with live TV for CBS with my VPN. I was hoping to accomplish something similar with Direct TV.
