Working here with Xfinity TVE
Working with Sling TVE.
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)
I've been having issues the last several days (BTN, FS1, FS2) - Hulu
Yeah it's very hit or miss, earlier today only FS1 was working and now both are working. Seems like there's something wrong with Fox's authentication service.
The crappy part for me is that E+ started failing this morning too, so my last backup is HDMI encoder off of my provider's Android STB, which I don't really want to use that much because it ties up the box. Sometimes my wife wants to use one of them and if she picks the one that's currently encoding, poof goes my recording.
The good thing is that my provider has cloud DVR and I can always watch off their stb but of course the playback is nowhere near as good that way. So I have multiple layers of backups for sports lol.
Why not get another encoder to add a second tuner then?
I have 2 inputs just for this reason and I don't record much of anything anyways nowadays

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