Experimental: Local Networks (NBC, ABC, FOX) in some major metros via TVE

The only issue I have with TVE with Vidgo is that in the guide ABC just lists “ABC” so I can’t record any shows on ABC. I can’t get ABC on my antenna because of signal issues… I live in South Jersey and the ABC signal is weak at best. Anyone have a possible fix? I am on Mac OS.

Thanks

Update to prerelease.

How would I do this?

Thanks

I see it scan ABC when I rescan channels but it doesnt show up on the guide. Weird.

Updated new pre release and logged in with creditenials but ABC won't show on dish or dstream

again this am ABC on TVE not working Log above

That's an error with ABC's site, not Channels. If ABC is the source of the error, there really isn't anything Channels can do.

That's like taking a taxi to the movie theater, but when you arrive to discover the show you want to see has been cancelled because the theater has a broken projector, you blame the taxi driver.

well it works fine via website so figured it might be on channels end

Did you try rescanning just the ABC channel from the source dropdown Rescan Channels item?
How about toggling the Experimental setting Local Networks via TV Everywhere
Maybe the timing of the scan caught your ABC at a bad time.

I am having the same issue but it had worked previously... Following

Don't have NBC in the drop down list. WREX 13

I also have problems logging in with my youtube tv account even though I have access to the channel and the nbc website shows me the guide on the main screen. I did send off an e-mail to youtube tv. But shouldn't it still show in the channel list for NBC? This is on a snyology nas.

Hi can I ask can you add the foxlive into channels if you live near a station? I am new to this but losing locust I have no local channels. And just cannot afford any of the steaming services right now. Appreciate any help.. thanks

It doesn't work that way. You need a cable/OTT provider login to get a local station, if it is available (and Fox has a lot of issues where you might only get primetime programming because the local affiliates are not signed on to make their stuff available all day).

It won't help with Channels, but check out Puffer to at least get a free stream of the San Fransisco area locals.

That all said, what is your situation that an antenna is not a possibility?

Thanks for info.. I can get an antenna but I am renting and it is spotty and I will be moving in 6 months and money is tight as I was in hospital with my daughter for over a month, so to get the rundvr and antenna is gonna cost me up front :crazy_face:

@tmm1 I realize you've been working on proper mapping of these channels for a while now, is there any way I can change the mapped station of my ABC TVE channel? I like to use the Stack Duplicates by Guide Data setting, but in the Pittsburgh market my ABC TVE channel gets mapped to "WTAEDT3" (a nearby translator) instead of 'WTAEDT."

Unfortunately I'm in a location that's right between the main tower and the translator, so I receive both OTA but prefer the main tower since the signal is better. I've tried unchecking/checking local TVEs from my phone when I'm in a location that's closer to the main tower, but it still maps to the translator.

If you submit diagnostics I can take a look

Thank you! Just submitted 799086bf-8d47-482d-9445-169cc8ace891

Right before I submitted those I disabled/reenabled TVE locals from my office which is geographically closer to WTAEDT3, I’m not sure if that’s very helpful. I can submit again when I’m at home if needed.

Fixed for next prerelease
