Tried rescan again this morning and now I'm getting a different error:
Not entitled: mvpd: entitlement not found.
But I can watch fine with my provider credentials at foxsports.com (with a new sign in) so I don't know what's going on.
I've had this happen in the past with multiple providers and every time it was a problem with my provider login. I even had (1) channel with Spectrum that I was never able to get resolved for TVE and ended up having to subscribe to Philo to get that (1) channel.
Just to confirm, you are using this to login and test:
Yes
I assume you've double-checked your username and password used for the TVE source in Channels, so maybe it's time to attempt to re-authenticate the channel, submit logs from the server, and email support.
Each time I had a failure on a TVE channel in the past, I was not able to login with TVE provider credentials on the channel's website. It is a little odd that we aren't all having the problem if it's something specific to Channels DVR.
I have this happen frequently (at least the 12 second or so delay) when I try to tune a channel/network that doesn't get watched very often. I always guessed that there was some kind of token or temporary authentication granted for 6 or 24 or 48 hours that makes consecutive tuning even on different channels in that same network go pretty quick for a time. Once that temp token has expired, Channels DVR has a little more work to do to get it back to good.
This is my foolish layperson guess for something that is probably more complex, but well known by the developers.

Yeah it's weird that it only happens with channels, I even tried a browser that hadn't been on foxsports.com before and it worked fine with my provider's credentials, so go figure.
My credentials are fine and haven't changed in a year and a half now, if they were wrong I wouldn't be able to pull in much of anything on a rescan. For example definitely not ESPN and friends which work fine. All of the other Fox channels like FX etc. work it's just FS1 and FS2 that don't.
Will definitely need to email support since it is a channels specific problem.
So, the good is that FS1 is still in TVE and recording. The bad thing is I am seeing audio issues for the Fox signal: 2 seconds of audio and 2 seconds of silence repeating EXCEPT commercials, which play uninterrupted audio.
No issues with recording through ADBtuner.
Got same response from channels support, so I assume the issue is with TVE only.
FS1 & FS2 came back for me today. But my local FOX (WTTG) disappeared:

I tried unchecking and re-checking "Local Networks via TV Everywhere" and updating to the latest pre-release... no joy.
FOX is hit or miss TVE-wise. It may pop up randomly one day or not. If you want FOX, then you're better off using a HDHR or a HDMI encoder
Sadly WTTG only ever comes in during the summer for me even with an outdoor antenna & pre-amp. I haven't been able to convince the wife to "invest" $200+ on an encoder yet 
The word, from a reliable source, is this little guy will do the encoder job on the cheap:
Combine it with a streaming stick you already own, or a $20 ONN stick, and you're in under $100.

I only spent 140 on mine so...yeah
I needed a second tuner so i got the usb hdmi encoder costed about 10 bucks and the onn stick was 20 bucks and the spare firetv stick I already had so that didn't cost anything. If you have any spare android tv devices in your house, you might save a bit more really
Can you share the link to the $10 encoder you mentioned? I looked up the MINIENC1 but the cheapest I could find it for was $80.
Just noticed that my DVR had updated to latest stable release yesterday, did a rescan this morning and got my FS channels back! Probably just a coincidence

$10 video encoder that plugs into a $130 LinkPi encoder to handle 2 streaming devices
