Channel Scanning Causing Lockout on Scripps Channels?

When I try to scan my TVE channels all seem to work except the following channels which I believe are all the same network:

Animal Planet
HGTV
TLC
Travel
Investigation Discovery
DIY
Cooking
Science
AHC
Destination America
Discovery-Life
MotorTrend.

On Spectrum I initially get the error:

403 You've exceeded the maximum number of streaming sessions. To watch this program, sign out of one of your other sessions, and try again.: stream limit reached

If I try a couple more times I get:

403 Forbidden: Access to the requested resource path has been forbidden: [Authorized Networks: None].

On ATT TV Now I have trouble with the same channels (the ones I get) but I get the error:

chrome auth_timed_out

The forbidden error makes me nervous like Ive been blocked due to repeated attempts.

How do I fix this?

Spectrum has known timeout issues with TVE authentication. Try those stations again in 1-2 hours and you should be good.

This doesn’t seem to be timeouts based on the error message stating too many streams (and the fact that 80 percent of the channels work fine). It also doesn’t explain why these same channels don’t work on ATT TV Now.

Perhaps "timeouts" was the wrong word, but it doesn't change the situation. For Spectrum accounts, trying to authorize so many different TVE networks in quick succession causes authentication errors. The auth servers report that you have too many open sessions, and the only way to work around this is to manually rescan the individual networks that had auth issues after a period of time has elapsed.

With regards to the AT&T issues, I imagine that's a separate issue. Are TVE logins indeed supported for those networks with the subscription? (Just because you receive a channel via your OTT provider, that does not mean that TVE login credentials are also included for all of those networks.)

According to the provider page they are supported. They use to work.

Yes, every one of those channels would be auth'd through Discovery Communications.
