I have NewsMax mapped in CHDVR via TVE/Spectrum and I can agree that the guide for the NewsMax channel is still mapped to NewsMax+, but the actual programming is NewsMax2. Its the same with Pluto. However, on my Spectrum app, I still get the original NewsMax programming, now NewsMax+. My link is Spectrum TV. I use this link via BETA: Chrome Capture for Channels - #1143 by arwrite to be able to still pull the now subscription based NewsMax in to CHDVR.
The BETA: Chrome Capture for Channels doesn't allow for any recording, correct?
And as of right now, TVE doesn't work for Newsmax as I indicated in the original post.

I can record any channel mapped into CHDVR, including the BETA Chrome channels.
Actually, you can record the channels. I've recorded several stuff with CC4C

Are you going to add newsmax2 back, it was working but there was incorrect guide data
You can add it yourself with the kister method

And you can put the gracenote station id 121162 in the m3u to get guide data
{
"type": "Digital Broadcast Network",
"name": "Newsmax 2",
"callSign": "NEWSMX2",
"stationId": "121162",
"bcastLangs": ["en"],

You could also grab the master playlist from https://www.newsmaxtv.com/n2 and use it in a custom channel
The master playlist from https://www.newsmaxtv.com/n2 is a much better feed than YouTube:
#EXTINF:-1 tvc-guide-stationid="121162" channel-id="NEWSMX2" channel-number=".3", NEWSMAX2

Definitely better, although I get a different Master Playlist URL.
What's up with the Max Headroom video on the YouTube feed? The audio is fine, but the video seems like it's 5 fps.
Yeah ur right there are two playlist urls and the other one matches the guide data. Thanks.

I wonder if it is possible to create Newsmax Plus custom channel, with purchased subscription, and provide usernams/password to custom channel?

Looks like someone fixed the YouTube feed, although the direct stream from https://www.newsmaxtv.com/n2 offers higher resolution.

Welcome to the Fabulous Channels Support Forum. I basically have the same question as you. Is there any way that a paid subscription App to News Max Plus be added to Channels? I was looking at Streamlink I think. I don't mind the paywall as Newsmax was forced to stop the free feed or lose their Cable revenue. However, I won't subscribe since currently there is no way to watch Newsmaxplus except to continuously sit in front of your TV. There is No pause, rewind or DVR capabilities.
So Newsmax Plus doesn't even have OnDemand capability of all their shows? I might be interested if I could have Live access plus OnDemand if I missed a show.
If you sub to a cable service that provides the channel you could use a HDHR Prime tuner.
Otherwise you would need to explore how to bring it in as a custom m3u channel - HDMI for Channels, CC4C, Fubo TV project, etc.
I don't use any of them. I can get it through Xfinity Stream if I wanted to.
Yes, they have today's shows available On Demand yesterday. The problem I am having is the today's shows do not have any DVR or even pause. So, you have to view the today programing continuously. I am not interested in the stored programs as it is old news.
All of the cable options are too expensive for what I need. FUBO is a little over a $100 a month, I might as well just go with Xfinity as I am already paying them for internet.

Don't you mean yesterdays shows available On Demand today?
So, you don't want to record it or watch it live???
