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

So this is restricting me from getting any NBC station though?

I don't think so. Is it?
I thought you were just talking about channel 6000.
Do you get the other NBC Networks https://www.nbc.com/networks

Yeah, sorry I worded that wrong. So I can stream the NY through NBC but channels won't give me that correct?

I was getting the NY station in Channels DVR when NBC thought I was in NY.
Try following my linked post above and see what channel 6000 gets you.


Should I at least see channel 6000? I don't even see it listed.

You should.
Did you follow my post Lost ABC over TVE - #5 by chDVRuser ? using nbc in place of abc

I did yes, tried it on multiple browsers too.

When you did these steps, did you see a spinner as it scanned your locals?

If so, you can try submitting DVR diagnostics, but it's probably an NBC issue.
The only other thing I can think of to try is to change your DNS server IP to use your ISP's DNS or 8.8.8.8 (Google DNS) or 1.1.1.1 (Cloudflare DNS).

Here's when it happened to me, and I remember others posting similar issues.

Yes, I did see the spinner. Also, when I put in https://localhost:8089 it says the following:

I click advanced and continue but I am not sure if it is doing as you are saying.

Yes, browser warns you that the certificate isn't for site you're at

Then after you continue and enable Local Networks the browser prompts to allow location service
Capture2

After clicking Allow you get the spinner as it scans your locals
Capture3

If it worked, you should have your local channels

I just tried with an xfinity login as well and I still don’t get NBC. I went through the logs and it doesn’t even look like it is trying to authorize NBC. I don’t see it anywhere in my logs.

If one of your TVE sources is Xfinity or Spectrum, you should use the Update Password on that source to clear the chromedata folder before trying again.

I see it in the log from when I did it for the example I posted above. I would submit DVR diagnostics.

I'm not sure, but it looks like Channels DVR authed w/NBC

but NBC cannot determine your geo-location to let you watch your local station.

So it’s showing that it authorized NBC? It doesn’t even show up on the manage channels list on that tv source.

Shouldn't NBC be one of the first channels to scan? It is going straight to ABC

Shouldn’t NBC at least show up ok the list, even if it can’t authorize?

What you're showing there [TVE] Channel scan... looks like the log from when it added the TVE source, not experimental local network channels, which is different and can't even be added until the TVE source is done being added. My Xfinity [TVE] Channel scan starts scanning with CSPAN after authing with nbcentertainment, so maybe U-verse is different.

I've offered all the advice I can. Submit DVR diagnostics so the devs can take a look.
