Local TVE

I’m in Green Bay, WI. I have the 5 major local networks (NBC 6000, ABC 6001, FOX 6002, CBS 6003, PBS 6004) showing in TVE. When I have them shown from my HDHomeRun OTA both NBC and CBS are pulling the OTA feed because when I swipe down the channel number corresponds to the OTA number. The 3 others do not. If I hide the local channels OTA then I get errors attached.

Unrelated, my FOX just says Sign Off all day except during prime time. Can I contact my local affiliate and ask for full time programming or would that throw up red flags?

Anyone have any thoughts?

The error of "504 Gateway Time-out" points to a network issue. Essentially this is saying that Channels is trying to get the video, but the network's servers aren't responding. As far as the Fox prime time issue, that means your local Fox affiliate does not stream their content 24/7 on their website. You could try contacting them to ask that they do so, but chances are slim that they will change their stream.

My NBC feed is fixed now but not my CBS. When I go to channel 6003 it tunes to 5.1 which is my OTA CBS channel. If I turn off 5.1 I still get the error.

The response I got from my local Sinclair owned FOX affiliate when asked for full time programming via streaming the response I got was “ Our newscasts are streamed live (either through our website, our app, the STIRR app, or other streaming services). Fox’s website provides streaming for many (if not all) of its primetime shows. Most syndicated shows (Judge Judy, Jeopardy!, Ryan & Kelly, etc), do not allow us to webstream their shows.” so that’s a lost cause apparently even though I know other markets do it.

I've been troubleshooting on my end. I'll post here as well as email to support.

My local CBS affiliate doesn’t appear to offer stream just yet in my location however, I did login with my Paramount+ subscription and am able to watch my local affiliate live on my computer. Would it be possible to add Paramount+ as a TV Everywhere provider to allow me to get my local CBS programming on TV Everywhere though Channels DVR? attached is the message I get when navigating to http://cbs.com/live-tv/stream/ which redirects to https://www.paramountplus.com/live-tv/stream/ after successfully logging into Paramount+.
