Multiple TV channels via DirecTV gone

I use DirecTV on Channels and it seems like a bunch of TV channels (such as TBS and TNT) that used to show up are no longer there, and I have even refreshed the channels on the server.

Any ideas?

Update to prerelease

I updated to prerelease and recanned all channels but it appears that many channels I used to have on DirecTV are now missing

I noticed that Channels was trying to login in to DirectTv to verify my channels so many times it locked me out of my DTV account. I lost lot of channels too. Had to recover my DTV account.

Live TV through DirecTV works for the channels that do show up. I can also log into separate AndroidTV apps like TBS and TNT with my DirecTV login.

I don't know what else to do

You need to check the rescan menu and see what it says next to those channels

I went to Manage Lineup which shows 79 channels, then I went to Edit which shows 218 channels. It lists TVE channels which don't show up in the list of available channels and the comments to the right of many if these says the following (For example, TBS channel 6033):

Post "https://sp.auth.adobe.com/adobe-services/authorize": context deadline exceeded (Client.Timeout exceeded while awaiting headers)

I tried the Rescan option on one of these channels with the same result.

Other non working channels say "no login form found" while the working channels have check marks in the comments

Something is wrong with your internet or you're using a vpn or adblocker which is causing problems.

Nothing wrong with my internet. I have fiber 1gbps internet with no issues. No VPN on or adblocker on my PC either.

It appears that IPVanish (which I dont use any more) may have been the culprit. I uninstalled it as well as some other unnecessary apps, rebooted, and the missing channels seem to be back.
