DVR does not work properly at second location

I am currently at my 2nd home.  I brought my streaming device  with me.  I changed the location in settings on the TV online.  when I try to record shows I sometimes get a message that the show has already finished and cannot be recorded.  I also sometime see ads that are from my 1st location.  Also, when I am able to record shows, the list shows the ABC affiliate from 1st location, not my current location.

I cannot watch recorded news shows until the broadcast in my 1st location has finished.  (1st location is in Pacific Time Zone, 2nd location in Mountain Time Zone.)

Any thoughts on how to correct this?

What streaming device?

If the device has "location services", it will provide the local stations at your actual location instead of your home location. And you won't be able to set up recordings for those channels at your actual location. If the device doesn't have "location services" (like a Roku), then it will provide your home location local stations and you can set up recordings on those.
