Fox TVE 6002 not working

[chDVRuser]

I don't think FOX TVE 6002 is working for anyone.
I'm sure there are workarounds using other projects.
I can work around it using my HDHR Prime tuner and Channels DVR until I kill my Xfinity cable sub.

But, this topic is about Channels DVR Fox TVE channel 6002.
There are other topics discussing the other projects, where they should be discussed instead of derailing this one.

So far, it appears the Channels devs can't or don't want to resurrect Channels DVR Fox TVE channel 6002, based on no replies on the subject. This has been the slowest dying local TVE channel (hasn't been killed yet, like NBC and PBS).

Appreciate that. Not trying to derail as I’d love to see progress with TVE. Not sure why it doesn’t even show up in the GUI to rescan. It sucks that console shows Fox as not available when FS1 loads in the tuner.

You have to toggle the Experimental setting to rescan the TVE locals

Fox TVE 6002 not working

You scan for the local networks by toggling (uncheck, then check) this setting in your Channels DVR web admin UI Settings > Advanced > Experimental > Local Networks via TV Everywhere [Screenshot 2025-07-31 at 18-54-07 Channels Settings] When you check the box again to scan, It will prompt you to connect securely (Try again over HTTPS here or here), so click one of the here links and then check the box again. It will then ask to allow your browser to provide location information and you will …

FS1 and FS2 come from foxsports.com, not fox.com
fox.com has redesigned their website (since launching Fox One) and now allows you to stream your local station there when you select your provider. That has been broken in Channels for awhile.
The Channels developers have not updated Channels DVR to use that yet.

[resjus30]

I’ve done the uncheck and check, but I recall that I used to be able to see that certain channels would be faded if they were unavailable. Perhaps my memory is failing me, but it’s disappointing that FOX local is still broken.

I’d love to hear any positive progress from the team if they’re willing to share.

Football season is here, and FOX is a key station many folks need.

Yes, they appear in the Rescan menu with an error message. But not the locals. If any locals fail to scan, they don't even appear there. Note mine is missing 6002.

The only indication I see is from the DVR log after I toggle the Experimental setting to scan locals.

I get that with both Xfinity and YTTV as providers in Channels DVR, although both providers work to stream my local Fox station on the new fox.com website

I'm sure lots of users would.
So far, the developers have been silent about the subject (unless it was in a Topic I don't read).

Fox TVE 6002 is back with the latest pre-release, but it doesn't play for me.

Fox disappeared from Channel List

Although it now authorizes your local fox channel so that it appears in your guide, it doesn't seem to be using the new Fox One since it still doesn't play for me, just errors out when I try to watch. 403 Forbidden: "{\"@context\":\"http://www.w3.org/ns/hydra/context.jsonld\",\"@type\":\"Error\",\"n…\":\"Invalid AccessToken Key Id\",\"detail\":\"Key Id not found or supported\"}\n"

I can watch my local Fox station at FOX One using both Xfinity and YTTV providers.

It will work if you set up a separate source for it following the post that I referenced here:

Fox disappeared from Channel List

Take a look at this post, haven't tried it yet.

Obviously not TVE, but it does work to stream your local channel. And of course it will crap out from time to time I imagine so I setup a test recording of my local news every morning to make sure it's still working. If it doesn't I'll log back in with my provider and grab the latest link. Hopefully it'll continue to work.

[chDVRuser]

You're talking about grabbing an m3u8 link for a custom m3u channel and I'm talking about Channels DVR TVE Fox channel 6002. Definitely different things.

[GTFan]

Of course, like I said. This is just a workaround for anyone looking at the multiple Fox gone threads.

[chDVRuser]

I guess if yours in WNYW, it's back to working like it used to. Fox disappeared from Channel List - #43 by GenericChannelsUser
For me (not WNYW), it's back to NOT working like it used to. Just different error now.

[hofs1]

Hey look at that Fox wnyw is back via TVE of course my recently installed antenna and HD Homerun has been working nicely gets me NBC FOX MyNine WPIX etc

Updated to 2025.09.26.0118. Now I have WTIC on 6002 but it doesn't work:

In case the developers would want to look at this issue again:

Same error here. Fox TVE 6002 not working - #215 by chDVRuser
Going to wait an hour until a Sports Event is airing and see if it works for me

[chDVRuser]

That's a NO GO using YTTV and Xfinity

Mine seems to come and go at various times. Right now, it is gone.

[jtrippe77]

I don't have FOX TVE as an option on the latest pre-release for DirecTV or YTTV.

@jtrippe77

I don't have FOX TVE as an option on the latest pre-release

I had to disable Local Networks via TV Everywhere and then re-enable it to make the station appear.

[Channels2021]

Which station?

[daldana7296]

Thanks for the tip! That worked for me too!
