NFL is not working again but CBS Sports Network Is working

Hi everyone, is anybody else having issues with nfl network? I rescanned it individually and keep getting the same error. DirecTV is my provider and it worked before and is part of my package. I also just updated to the latest version of channels DVR 2.25........

Thanks in advance.

CBS Sports Network not working either.

CBS Sports working again this morning.

Same here. Hope nfl network gets fixed before the combine is televised.

Stream appears to be working online.

I can confirm that too. I used my DTV credentials to log into nfl.com and watch good morning football.

Looks like we will miss Combine.

Same here. NFL Network has been working fine. Yesterday when I tried to tune in and watch live, it just gave me a “Tuner not available” message. Like others here, I logged into NFL Network online and authenticated with the same Sling account info and it worked fine. I then rescanned the Sling TV TVE “Tuner” in Channels DVR settings. After that, the NFL Network channels (including NFL Redzone channel) are not listed at all as an available channel.

@tmm1 @Maddox I went to try to re authorize NFL and see this error....

Same thing here.

Please try the latest pre-release build.

Its working again. Thank you tmm1

I certainly appreciate getting NFL network back, but it's anyone else having this issue. When I fine to it live it works fine. When they go to a commercial it hiccups, then when it comes back live there is no sound. This is true on Apple TV, iPhone, and Android TV. I am running latest pre release. 2020.02.28.2022

I'm still having this issue with both NFL network and CBS sports. the issue I have is I can't update to newest version since i'm using the docker. Can I update that version manually or do I have to wait til its updated automatically?
