Network Channels on Hulu Live

I signed up for Hulu Live and added it as a source to Channels DVR -- but I am missing all the normal network channels (ABC. CBS etc). I checked each of them using the website links and my login worked. They also work on hulu.com -- just not in Channels DVR

So much of what I found in the discussions here about the same problem are a year or so old and was versions based.

Any basic guidance and troubleshooting would be appreciated.

In the web gui did scroll to the bottom and enable experimental locals. Check the box and allow location access

Also if you don't get all of them. Make sure you use https:// as this is required to get your geo location and allow channels to use your location. If you didn't get all of them. You can uncheck the local networks via tv everywhere and then re-check it. It will auto detect them again.

In the end, I am missing one -- CW but I can get that over the antenna.

CW doesn't have a TVE live stream. Basically, if you can go to a network's website and they have a live stream that you can view there after logging in with your provider, then it will work with Channels. The only exception are DRM-enabled stations like PBS. Channels uses website live streams, not the direct streams that are used in the apps or with the Cable/OTT providers.
