FoxNews Listing in Guide

Channels DVR Server
#1

I use Sling TV with Channels and I don't see the FoxNews channel listed in the channel guide. When I go to the edit option in settings, I see "notAuthorized: You do not have full subscriptions to view the requested content. Please upgrade your programming then log back in to view content."
If I go to the FoxNews website, I see live programming. Is FNC not available via TVE?

Thanks...

FNC has been available in Channels' TVE section as long as I've been using Channels DVR. I did have to re-authenticate my Hulu Live credentials in Channels last Wednesday because the cookie or session or whatever probably timed out. But since then, my Hulu TVE channels have been fine.

I wonder if the new Commercial Break message is applying to your TVE login credentials. You might need to remove the "TVE Tuner" for your provider and re-add it again with fresh credentials. From my experience, if you choose the same channels, no scheduled recordings or passes will be lost.

I plan to make sure that FNC still works on April 23 and 24, just so I don't lose my recordings.

Please update this thread with anything you discover (good or bad).

Thank you

Thanks Joe for the reply. If I go to the link displayed on the commercial break message, All I see is the option to click on an available streaming service. When I click on the Sling TV link, it just takes me to the Sling sign-up page.
I updated Channels DVR to the latest and still get the same error message in the guide edit dialog...
The problems may be related to Sling not offering FoxNews until just recently.
Thanks for helping out anyway.

When you go in and edit the channel setup, where it says channel not authorized, do you select to rescan just that one channel in that section?

Try the latest pre-release build for better slingtv support.

OK, so it looks like it quit working after the free preview from FoxNews ended. The listing still appears in the guide but there's no way to login to Sling from the FoxNews website. Every other streaming provider is listed in their dropdown except for Sling! Rats!
