I'm thinking of switching my source from Philo to YouTube TV but I noticed that one of the channels my wife and I watch a lot of, the Magnolia Network, is grayed out on the Channels TV Everywhere availability page for YouTube TV, but according to the YouTube TV site, the Magnolia Network is one of the channels you get with the base package.
Why isn't the Magnolia Network available in Channels for YouTube users like it is for users of DirectTV, Fubo, Philo, etc.?
Its not listed in the official list on YTTV's website either Use YouTube TV to sign in to network sites - YouTube TV Help
Its possible it will work because it is owned in part by Discovery, which does seem to have support through YTTV.
Can someone with a YouTube TV account please do me a favor and go to 'https://watch.hgtv.com/' and log in (upper right cornet to Link TV Provider). Once logged in, at the top of the page, please click on 'Live Watch TV'. After the video starts, just below the video is a bar with all of the channels. You should see the 'Magnolia Network', please click on it to see if the video above switched to the Magnolia channel and plays.
Thanks in advance to your help.
Youtube TV does not provide TVE access, even before it use to be called DIY. It’s been like this for several years since I’ve been subscribed.
Guess they got it right here (except for MOTORTREND)

Thanks. It is strange I can log into the HGTV to Go site using my Philo account info and have access to all of the 'Discovery' networks and their live streams but with your YouTube TV account, which has access to the channels via the app, doesn't allow you to access the channel via the 'to Go' site.
TVE is an extra cost to the Providers. YouTube does not pay the extra cost to help keep the cost down to its subscribers.
You get a different mix of TVE channels with Philo vs. YouTube
