CBS not honoring YouTubeTV login for TVE

CBS is not honoring my YouTubeTV login for TVE again. A couple months ago I had this problem and it cleared up on its own. I was assuming that CBS got their act together and fixed whatever problem they had. But a couple days ago it started again and TVE won't connect. I went the CBS website and logged out and re-logged in to the streaming service using my YouTubeTV(Google) username and password. It said I was logged in successfully but when I tried to stream content it came back with the screen claiming that "Your TV provider is not yet supported in your location." That was the same thing that happened months ago. So it seem that CBS still doesn't have their act together in the Los Angeles area.

Unfortunately, TVE is not a consistently reliable way to get local broadcast channels. You may want to look at other options if these networks are important to you.

Well, CBS Los Angeles started working again two days ago, all by itself. I made no changes. Apparently enough complaints were filed to CBS that they fixed it.
