Are you getting any local channels at all?  Have you checked the ZIP CODE on your billing account to be sure it matches where your TV box is?

Have you verified what locals you are suppose to receive? Have you ever received local channels? Are you receiving the correct ones or wrong ones? Missing some channels? A little more clarity needed.

Also what device are you using? Have you tried on a mobile device (cell or tablet)? Where they correct, wrong, missing, etc?

I checked the zip code on my account and it is the same.  I had channels for years and yesterday they were gone.

Hello @Titanrick, we get the need for favorite channels.

Did you already check the local channels available in your area? If not, please go ahead and look at this link https://direc.tv/3DxxNsN  with your ZIP code.

Tell us the results.

@Titanrick what device are you using? Do you get the correct locals using your phone via cell not WiFi?

I am using a directv streaming box.  I have put in my zip code on the link and it shows me with local sports channels but not network channels.

On your Dtv stream box remote hit the dash - in the lower left hand corner of the remote for like 6 seconds and a popup will come up. Scroll down see if your IP zip and Billing zip are the same. Also, below that it says how your locals are determined.
