I've been using channels for a couple of years without problem on a windows 7 pc. Yesterday, the TV app couldn't find the server. I go check the server, but the channels program isn't running. I manually try to launch to no avail. I uninstall and try reinstalling, but when I click "Start DVR in system tray", nothing ever starts. When I click "open DVR settings", the browser says "this site can't be reached", and the channels setup switches back to "Start DVR in system tray. I also tried install DVR as a background service and that didn't work either. I also deleted the folder c:\programdata\channelsDVR and that didn't work. Nothing has changed on the server PC. The only other "wild card" which may or may not be related is that my annual subscription renewed the previous day.
