I am in Des Moines. No matter what I try, it doesn't come on. Says location not available. I am angry!

@tnm123, how are you trying to get PBS?

Cellular-based internet services don’t report your true physical location back to the provider and that can be a problem for some of those (Hulu +, for example).  That may also be the case with your PBS provider. A work-around may be to use a VPN service, or subscribe to a provider that works properly with cellular internet (YouTube TV, for example….which happens to include 2 PBS stations).
