ugh. that's upsetting.
For a point of reference, I’ve been using Directv Stream for TVE without issues.
Primary DVR is on a Synology 220+ with DSM 7 with normally the latest pre-release. Clients are 3rd gen Cubes and Firesticks. I also run a secondary system on a Rasberry PI without issues. I consider these basic systems with the only add ons being Docker for Pluto and ESPN+ on the Synology.
Maybe ? 
Yeah, DirecTV Stream worked great for me for years as well, but all of a sudden it lost it's authentication (I believe when I did a MacOS upgrade on the machine I use for the DVR server) and ever since then I have not been able to get it to re-authenticate successfully whatever I try.
I did just try updating to the latest pre-release and still sadly no luck on my side, but you should try to see if it works for you @chDVRuser. There is a chance that my issues are tied to a grandfathered DirecTV Stream account (which is why I can't easily switch to a different streaming provider) but I can authenticate using the account for TVE on FX's website, for example.
Probably TL;DR
I don't have the issue, I use Xfinity.

My emails were back in June so probably pretty buried by now, but I did have some replies back and forth with Aman at the time. The diagnostics at the time were 0b780e98-c036-47b0-932d-ce07671e85d8.
Let me know if it's easier and better to send new diagnostics now. Happy to try whatever to see if I can get this working again.
Please send new diagnostics with the latest release.
Thanks Eric, diagnostic logs submitted as 4d19a6d3-c209-45e4-93b7-2ef848932e22 and I sent an email to [email protected] in case it's easier to communicate via email rather than here.
Try the latest build and let me know if you still have the same error.
I don’t think it’s the grandfathered account as my grandfathered account works. Apple probably changed some inconspicuous setting when you upgraded the OS.
Hopefully, the guys at Channels can get you back up.
This happens to me with Directv Streaming frequently. For me, the issue starts with not being able to access channels due to authentication errors, I try to update the password for Directv Streaming with no change, I then delete the Directv streaming TVE entry and when I try to add it back in I get the authentication 401 error for an hour or so. Then, without changing anything, it will finally start working properly and will allow me to add Directv Streaming back to TVE. I started seeing this behavior a few months ago. Since it always eventually starts working, I haven't given it a lot of thought.
EDIT - I should of let it finish the operation of adding Directv Stream back in before I posted, the logs are littered with entries like "Channel scan 44/190 FNC failed: Cable provider authentication failed" for channels that I should get. This is on the channels server software ver 2023.08.24.0602.

@Chief It appears you're having some network issues and your diagnostics are failing to be submitted. Could you check your DVR logs and see what errors are being reported? Are you running any firewall software or ad blocking?
Has anyone had a chance to test v2023.08.24.0602 out yet? I have another idea for a different sort of fix but would like to get feedback on this build before I push another change out.
There's been a problem submitting logs ever since I moved and changed ISP's - we worked on it before, but couldn't get anywhere. I'm not running any firewall or ad blocking software on the channels server. I even went so far as to put the channels server temporarily in the DMZ and still couldn't send logs. It's something I need to revisit.
I am running the latest early release, 2023.08.24.0602
As far as the logs for when I'm adding the Directv Streaming TVE, I'll post an example below. After it gets through, I end up with a fraction of channels and if I rescan the channels that failed auth individually, I can get some of them to authenticate properly. Here's the error log example, email address hidden, the logs are similar for each channel that received the Cable Provider authentication failed error:

@Chief my best guess is the problem authenticating and the problem submitting diagnostics are related.
New build that may help the situation or provide more insight.
The TVE issue just started a couple of months ago, the diagnostic issue has been 2+ years.
I previously believed the TVE issue I've experienced periodically of the past couple of months was just a temporary outage, but never saw the cable provider authentication issue for individual channels in the logs until I updated to 2023.08.24.0602.
Update v2023.08.24.2016 helped a lot, I was able to rescan and access all the missing channels except for AETV, History, Lifetime, Fox News and Fox Business - still receiving timeouts on those.
