FS1 and 2 gone

Channels DVR Server TV Everywhere
#43

I have encoders for my two 'free' STBs because I don't want to pay for another one that I don't use that often.
I try not to use those two encoders much but there are sports on some channels like CW and CBS that I can only get through my provider's boxes. As long as I only tie up one of my boxes then I can tell her that she can use the other box, but sometimes I forget that a box is in use.

Yeah...that can be an issue but I wouldn't rely too much on TVE tho as that can go away at any time as we've seen. Maybe time for some more tuners/devices?

#45

FS1 has been intermittent for me as well the last several days. "Could not start stream...503 Service Not Available." Other times it records fine. Sling user.

Totally out here. No sports today on the Channels DVR product.

#47

Yup, nothing today. Everything failed. Adding back into ADBtuner.

#48

Possible Fix?

Thanks. Missed that. Am on 2025.03.22.1650. Scheduled for install.

Deleting my post with TVE failing on FS1, FS2, and BigTen. Apparently I, too, was still running v2025.03.22.1650. I upgraded to the latest Beta and it seems to be working again, for the moment.

I'm running the latest beta and I'm still seeing sporadic failures with both channels. Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't. I had a recording on FS1 today that worked fine, then another one on FS2 that failed.

I have also lost FS1 and FS2. No longer available on TVE?

Unfortunately I've been having a lot of trouble with FS1 and FS2 lately, too has worked perfectly up until about 2 weeks ago for me.

#54

Yep, I don't know what's going on but I don't think it's my provider. It could be Fox sports itself but since channels has provided an update to try to make it better I don't know what to believe at this point. The update definitely didn't fix the problem.

#55

I'd be interested to know what provider everyone is using.

I have access to TVE via an Xfinity login and a Fios login.

I haven't been able to tune into FS1 and 2 so I switched to the FIOS login and it's been working perfectly for me the last 24 hours.

Just another data point.
Using Xfinity TVE and CDVR v2025.03.26.1743
CDVR running in a docker container using Chrome 131.0.6778.139

I haven't watched/recorded TVE FS1 or FS2 for a long time.
Just started watching and after CDVR automatically re-auth'd FS1, both channels are playing fine.

Same here. I'm using Xfinity Comcast TVE in the greater Seattle area and have been using FS1 and FS2 pretty frequently during the basketball season.

Sling. Thought the update had fixed it, but apparently not.

As of right now, B10 and FS1 are not working. FS2 is working. Hulu.

Hotwire not working

As these are legitimate TVE channels without any form of DRM, the developers could consider adding HDMI network encoders (with client players) as native devices within the Channels DVR server software. Clearly there wouldn't be any legal concerns.
