Newer to channels here,having an issue with 1 in particular

[billmich]

It is on my xfinity TVE; Xfinity (TVE-Comcast_SSO)

6782 STADIUM

WCWNDT4 (STADIUM)

I thought I had it working when I first signed up in Mid-July, but it's been down for me for a while. Maybe I have a setting that is off, maybe I am just alerting the dev's of a broken link.

those call letters belong to a station in Albany, (and stadium is listed as one of the sub channels) I am in Metro Detroit - makes me wonder why i am being offered it in the 1st place

when i look at the channel specifically, i get the following:
bc response: 400 Bad Request

Any hints and tips are appreciated

Thank you for your time and consideration

Stadium is part of a group of free channels that don't require a cable/satellite/streaming subscription.
However, this group of free channels doesn't have its own source to import in Channels DVR and appears when you add a TV Everywhere source, such as your Xfinity subscription.

Having said that, this channel can be watched for free on their website and that's what Channels DVR imports. I just checked and it is working fine:

Stadium 24/7 - Stadium (watchstadium.com)

I just checked in Channels DVR now and it's playing fine for me.

@billmich you need to update to prerelease

[billmich]

updated to "pre-release" issue appears to be resolved.

what's the difference between pre-release and stable relase?

Funny you should ask, @tmm1 just posted on that this morning.

Pre-Release access for DVR subscribers

Development philosophy the Channels and Channels DVR software is built using continuous deployment methodology every change to the codebase is automatically deployed, and made available as a prerelease build to subscribers on days of heavy development, several beta and prerelease builds may be published Channels apps Apple devices Beta versions are distributed via Apple's TestFlight app. Click this TestFlight invite link from an iPhone or iPad to join the beta program.

Pre-releases are generally stable but really haven't been tested enough for the developers to call them official stable releases. Pre-releases need to be manually installed by you, the end user. Often they fix TVE issues. Sometimes there can be several pre-releases in a day, followed by no pre-releases for many days. Stable releases are auto installed when the devs are comfortable that a release meets stability expectations.
