Besides the free channels, these are the only ones I'm getting.
thanks for a reply from the dev team
Are you running pi-hole, a firewall or something similar that might be blocking the chrome browser Channels DVR uses for TVE?
What are you running Channels DVR server on?
I can stream my local PBS in Firefox with Location service disabled, so they may just be geo-locating using my IP address, but I know Fox needs Location service enabled in the browser and probably uses some geo-location server.

I currently have fubo tv running as well and the fox news channel works fine. I'm running it on a Synology DS718+ and have had Playstation, ATTTVNow, Vidgo and previously Sling all working fine. Nothing has changed on my network.
Another update. I can't get NFL Network, FS1 and the Olympic Channel either. I can, however, access them via their live streaming sites.
Did you update the Channels DVR headless Chrome on your Synology?
Couldn't hurt to try.
I follow the instructions and it starts checking for authorization before I can hold it down for 1 second. This is very frustrating!
Also, I'm somewhat of a novice with the Synology NAS. I will need to figure out how to us the API.
You don't need to use curl and the API. Just do this...
click add source, select dish (or any other provider you don't have) enter test/test for user/pass click-AND-hold the Sign In button for one second.
What that does is load the updated Chrome. It doesn't actually add the dish source.
Then you can try rescanning your Sling channels.
I understand that. I click and hold on sign in and it immediately goes to authorization. I never release the click.
I looked in the log and it shows
2021/05/23 12:51:29.012582 [TVE] action=version product=Chrome/89.0.4389.114
I think that's what you want? It never shows when holding the click on sign in.
Yep, your Chrome is now up to date (for Channels DVR at least).
ok, thank you!
Holy cow, I can't win! Went through all the suggested troubleshooting and I'm now getting this...
LOL!
Guess should have left it partially broken!
I would suggest submitting diagnostics from the DVR web UI.
I sent logs and pics of the error messages. Thanks again for your help.
I had the same problem w Fox News. So I prayed on it
God told me to leave the Republican Party as he did.

FoxNews not authorizing for me either. Using Sling Blue and it works fine in Sling apps. I did login using Sling as my provider here: https://www.fox.com/live/channel/FNC/

I'm still not getting it either, however, I'm now getting FXM, which I wasn't getting before. I'm holding out hope that FNC will eventually work.
What was your fix for that?
Did it just resolve itself given time?
FXM is part of FX Networks, which is owned by Disney. It is completely separate from FNC, which is owned by Fox News Media, a wholly separate company.
