Why? They do not use that setting anyway with Roku or Fire Stick. Local channel availability is based on your billing ZIP Code and market area. You need a device that has location services or GPS. Did you change your biking CC information to the new location? If so you may need to reset your modem and router.

This is off of the DirecTV website:

Update your DIRECTV STREAM home network

Make sure you only do this if you’ve changed your internet service provider or moved. You can only do it 4 times in a 12-month period.

Using any connected TV device:

  1. Go to the DIRECTV STREAM app.
  2. Choose Settings and then Preferences.
  3. Select Location Settings and then Set New Home Location.
  4. Choose your new location.

Most of these comments are directed towards the proprietary DirecTV Stream box. Also you must have an older Roku that does not have that setting - mine do not either. Also the rule is listed at https://www.directv.com/support/stream/article/KM1228303/

"Local channel availability is based on your billing ZIP Code and market area."
