Hi there,
Thanks for clearing that up.
I'm staying on the classic plan.
the option to pay annually provides the best option.

Hey Everyone - I am noticing a program discrepancy in channel 9885 for me..The Dove Channel. It is airing The Lucy Show…but the guide in Channels says a movie called The Mulligan. What is interesting is I went to the friendly website and it is showing Lucy just like I would expect, but the Dove channel website is actually playing The Mulligan Movie. Does anyone know how I can get the guide data to be what the Friendly Dove Channel is airing? Thanks in advance for any help.
Thanks!

My guide (for frndly Dove channel) says the Lucy show is airing and it is on that frndly channel.
Are you using the frndly two source method?
Channels DVR TVE channel 6756 says The Mulligan (2022) is airing and it is on that channel.
As @chDVRuser mentioned, it sounds like you are not using the proper 2 source method of bringing in the FrndlyTV EPGs. The 2 source method will bring in the Dove channel data scrapped from the FrndlyTV website. There are several channels via FrndlyTV that do not follow what the main channel may be airing (remember none of the channels via FrndlyTV are TVE). Most of the FrndlyTV channels play nicely the gracenote data, and the 2 source method brings in the schedule and name for those channels that do not.
I am not sure I have ever heard of a 2 source method. I believe I run a python command in terminal on my Mac to get these. Are there instructions saved somewhere that someone can provide? Any help is appreciated. Thanks a bunch.
See this post from 3 weeks ago, I assume it works with the python version you run as the docker image is built from that. From Frndly TV for Channels
Add to Channels
You can retrieve the Channels configuration via the status page below.

When subbing to Frndly , is the HD plan required for HD in Channels? Or is that something the android / itunes app is doing to the stream internally.
Ie. Do you need to pay 8.99 or 6.99 to get High Definition streams from this method using docker
All you NEED is the $7 plan. Rightfully, you should have at least the $9 Silver plan and limit your streams on Channels to the number your Frndly plan allows. Someone a few posts up showed some pictures of how to do this.
I would strongly suggest subscribing to the highest plan. iIf you have the lower plan, the solution shouldn't be used.
I just renewed my subscription on the middle plan. less than $100 a year.

Is it just me or does ION/ION Mystery/BabyFirst/BYUtv/Curiosity Channel/Grit/Pixl/QVC not work?
fyi @matthuisman
looking at the docker logs, i see a difference in the source urls for these channels.
the channels that do work have "live_v2_nr_" in the HLS playlist url.
They are working fine for me right now.
Not sure if it's relevant but I use the non-docker version.

Just checked and they're working for me (running the docker container).
They all start with https://sr-live4-frndly.akamaized.net/out/v1/
For me, I'm getting a variance in the source URLs. I just loaded the playlist in VLC and tried every channel after the wife said one of them wasn't working, and sure enough, I stumbled upon this.
works

I see what you mean. After flipping through every channel I see these urls.

One time Dove failed with a 504 Gateway Timeout, but now all channels are working for me.
thanks for checking. 
appears to be working this morning. must have been a service / cdn issue in my part of the country last night.
Just added this to my Docker and Channels setup. Guide isn't showing the correct info in the guide. Foe example for History Channel I'm getting HISTORY Channel @ 4pm, 5pm, 6pm etc.
Are you using the recommended two source method?
Yes I did but I used the method on this page
Mine works. Here's my setup.
Frndly for Channels docker page
Channels custom m3u for frndly source 1
Channels custom m3u for frndly source 2
This is what I'm getting when I try to enter that into Channels
