Seems as if I've lost all NBC stations, so it appears my affiliate has migrated. Not just the local NBC, but Bravo, MSNBC, CNBC, E!, and USA, although SyFy still appears to work. Can anyone else confirm, or is this just based on the location?

If things are still working for you, avoid updating to this prerelease:
@tmm1 curious, did you also remove Telemundo TVE?
They are owned by nbc but it’s still working. Wondering if they are changing those streams as well.

Same here, my affiliate hasn't gotten DRMed yet. I'm guessing the NBC owned and operated affiliates changed over first?

Yes all NBCU were removed. We can re-enable stuff that's still working but I don't think they will last for long.

they also offer a desktop "home" that does not integrate automatically channels but is only $40/yr. It only records in 720p.

Yes, but that's Windows only. PlayOn Cloud is very attractive for Mac users, mobile users, or just folks who don't want to manage a "home" computer for this purpose.
for sure. just giving that option for people so they know. For example: backing up several hundred movies from vudu.

I noticed my local NBC had been working via TVE (I'm in Los Angeles, KNBC is Owned & Operated.) I do also get NBC via antenna so I wasn't too concerned, personally speaking. But now I'm in the same boat. Errors on those channels, in Channels DVR.
MSNBC, Bravo and E! are big losses, at least in this household. And a Prime with cable card wouldn't have solved this for me, I'm with Spectrum (previously Time Warner) and the only channels that didn't have the CC flag set, were the locals.
Sigh. [Deep breaths.]

I, personally, will just stop watching their content. I know I’m only one viewer, but I prefer my tv platform way more than any of their shows.

Ah, yes, I'm still on 2023.04.18.1831 and KNBC's TVE is still working for me. It's all the other channels (MSNBC, Bravo, E!, SyFy) that don't. I'll stay put for now, but obviously it's just like playing violin on a sinking ship. At least when that happens (or I eventually upgrade the latest prerelease) I still get KNBC via antenna. For now, at least.

Dang it. This came sooner than I had hoped. Now I need an alternative to getting WWE Monday Night RAW. or at least live access to USA Network to be able to record said network. I used to use PlayOn but Desktop doesn't allow 1080p recording and PlayOn Cloud only allows for 720p for 1 credit and 1080p 3 credits and I don't want to keep giving them money in a sense. Rather pay for a software one time to be able to record. Any recommendations would be helpful. Thank you!

For anyone wanting to get the prerelease version before the NBC channels were removed, this should do it.
