FS1 and 2 gone

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 :slight_smile:

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

The $10 device is a capture "card" not an encoder -- you still need an encoder.

Your choices are the MINIENC1 for ~$80, which is an encoder, but can only handle one input. Or, you can get the ENCV2 for ~$130, which can support a capture card for a second input.

And now it's gone again for me this morning, both channels are saying 503 service unavailable. Was working fine yesterday.

Good thing I have a E+TV as a backup to get the stuff that I want on Fox.

Probably not helpful, but working fine here, YouTubeTV.

Both channels came back on their own yesterday so something weird is going on with authentication and my provider.

Problem has come back again and it looks like others are seeing it as well. Weird that it's only certain providers though.

I had intermittent access via YouTubeTV overnight for FS1, FS2, and Big Ten, which are all unavailable at this moment.

Yeah there's definitely something funny going on, this morning FS1 is working but FS2 is not. Go figure.

And now all 3 are working again (shrugs)
