Wondering why Big Ten Network (6199) isn’t shown on the list of available channels for any provider.
I have the same question.
It used to be there (I have recordings in my library) - I think those were via YouTubeTV.
Maybe Big Ten dropped all of their TVE support?
YTTV may have let their agreement lapse, but Big Ten (6199) is still working with DirecTV credentials.
I didn’t mean to open a can of worms. I was referring to only BTN not being listed as an available channel on the link I listed above for any provider, including DTV. But now that I look at it outside of football season, BTN shows as “Tuner Unavailable” on Firestick 4K in Channels using YTTV credentials. I can access BTN using YTTV app however.
Whether a channel is available via the OTT app (such as the YouTube TV app) is a completely separate issue from it being available within Channels via TV Everywhere.
To verify the status of a channel via TV Everywhere, it is recommended to open a clean incognito/private window in your web browser and access the network's stream from their website with your credentials; that is essentially what Channels does. The stream you receive in your service's app most likely comes from a different source.
That information may be out-of-date. If you want to be certain, try it yourself in a web browser as I outlined above. I don't know what it states that BTN is unavailable with DirecTV credentials, because it certainly does work with them.
