I'm guessing they are just being loyal to Hdhomerun. I'd like to see it also, my NBC streams live and my Antenna is iffy sometimes.
ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox, CW, PBS are the major broadcast networks. These are called local channels because they are broadcast locally and have different news segments + the schedule is sometimes slightly different. For example, DC CW and Baltimore CW broadcast different shows throughout the majority of the day (mostly just different times).
Anyway, these channels are FREE. You can get them in stunning quality with an antenna as long as you live in/near a populated area.
I think people know that
OK, well point I was trying to make is that TVE is a supplement to the local broadcast networks.
TVE can include local broadcast. My local, NBC and Fox stream live.
Just looked at YouTube TV available in my area and it includes NBC, ABC & CBS (No PBS yet).
Not sure why you posted that (might be missing something). But you can only get those channels via the YouTube TV App. You can not get then integrated via Channels DVR because Channels does not support TVE Local Channels at this time. But I believe they could. The issue is that not all locations can get them. I just think they should support local channels for customers that can get them via TVE.

Yes I know but ChannelsDVR doesn't offer it! Wish they did!!!
Thanks for the further explanation.
Now I understand ... It is Channels that is not allowing locals (no matter if they are authorized by IP provider or You Tube, etc...). Originally, I thought devs were disallowing only for Cable transmissions.
I don’t see any reason for disallowing when source is from direct link to providers like YouTube, PSVue, etc.
Perhaps the devs: @tmm1 and @maddox could provide further insight.
I agree with you “Locals” should be added!
Request Poll Allow “Locals” to TVE

The problem with having the major networks available on ChannelsDVR is that TVEverywhere only offers regional Networks so in my case in Phoenix all the Majors available to me are LA channels, so I wouldn't get any local news and LA is actually in a different time zone! It still would be helpful to me anyway!
We can only provide access to the channels that you can watch yourself in a web browser. For most of the country when they visit https://fox.com/live or https://abc.go.com/watch-live they cannot watch their locals because they are not available.
Like I said before both nbc and Fox stream live for me
That's great for you. You've very lucky. They don't work for me.
Well when I subscribed to FritzyTV that included ALL the major networks with TVEverywhere so it can be done!
How are you getting Fox I would like to try and stream that!
Not really, he cheated and gave you streams out of your area
Yes I know but it worked!
They stream live in my area. I sign in with my tv provider.
It will be sporadic. I don’t think anyone can get CBS, since you need CBS all acces. PBS doesn’t even have a stream
Can I ask where you are located?
