Fox TVE 6002 not working

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.

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:

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.

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.

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

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.

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:

Going to wait an hour until a Sports Event is airing and see if it works for me

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

Same with Cox / WNAC...

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

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

Which station?

Thanks for the tip! That worked for me too!

That's how to rescan for the experimental local network stations

That worked for DTV but not YTTV. Thank you for the tip. The channel is there, but it does not play anything. That seems to be a common problem, though.

Are you seeing the same error in your DVR log?

Below I what I get in the logs:
