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

Strange that one of my two Channels DVR Servers using the Xfinity-TVE source picked up my local Fox affiliate channel, but the other server shows this error platform response: 403 Forbidden every time I try to scan it. Also toggled off/on the Experimental Local Networks via TV Everywhere setting.

I made the mistake of rescanning the channel on the server that had it auth's. Now it's giving me the same platform response: 403 Forbidden error.

I'll try rescanning the channel at 8pm when 'WWE Friday Night SmackDown' is airing

Im in Columbus Ohio. My fox should be WSYXDT3 but it's giving me WXIN in Indianapolis. All of my other local TVE channels are correct. When I try to play the Indy fox it gives me a 403 Forbidden error.

I tried rescan and I'm getting 403 forbidden on Fox TVE (Optimum) when I try to tune Big Noon Kickoff.

No idea what’s happening to you but I’ve had zero issues with optimum in 3 years. Never, ever experienced these the issues with optimum tve.

Maybe something blocking something on your end? DNS blocking? Change dns?

Fox working great here, good luck.

Your FOX TVE is NYC 24/7, no? Mine is not. I wish I could pull in NYC fox my location. :slight_smile:

I’m getting the same thing with DirecTV. Tried changing DNS to Google and it still didn’t work.

Just wanted to add that although the rescan enabled 6002-Fox, when trying to play the channel I get the error Failed to start stream for ch6002: TVE: platform response: 403 Forbidden

Just appreciate the effort you are putting in for this and providing feedback :slight_smile:

What do you see for the call sign of your local Fox station at https://www.fox.com/live
Does it show Fox28 or WSYX?
