Local stations are different on one out of three boxes

I have three Stream boxes that have been working great for over a year. But suddenly, one of the boxes is receiving local stations from Nashville instead of the local stations from my home area of Syracuse. The other two boxes are working fine, displaying the correct Syracuse stations. What happened and how do I correct this?

For anyone interested. I unplugged and restarted the Stream receiver several times with no success.  I then signed on the my Directv Stream account and initiated a chat session with support. They refreshed the receiver from their end, had me unplug the box for 30 seconds, plug it back in, and then hit the red reset button. When the system rebooted, the problem was solved and the correct local stations returned.

What are your streaming devices?

Which one has the wrong local stations?

All three boxes are Directv Stream receivers that were shipped to me by Directv when I signed up for the service over 14 months ago. They are set up on tvs in three different rooms in our house, all on the  same wireless network. They have been working flawlessly since day one, and nothing has been changed by me in my account, the boxes, or our wireless network. The box in the living room is the one suddenly displaying incorrect local stations. The other two boxes are just fine.

Hello there, it's not normal that one of your boxes is not synchronized with your current location. Local channel availability is based on your billing ZIP Code and market area. We're sending you a PM to work with you and find a resolution. Juan, DIRECTV Community Specialist.

We apologize for the delayed response, @Rockydock. We've sent you a PM to start working on your wrong locals in one of your devices together. Daniel, DIRECTV Community Specialist
