Ongoing 403 error on Fox Cleveland

For weeks I’ve been unable to access WJW Fox in Cleveland. Station is not O&O, so I get only the two hours of network programming in the evenings and any broadcast sports on the weekends. I can access fox.com/live using my YTTV credentials and I’ve followed all the TVE tips on here. Rescan occasionally looks like all is good until I try to access from the guide, then the 403 error reappears. Anything to consider? I’ve submitted diagnostics.

I just came here to post about my Fox station via TVE. It has disappeared from Channels. Mine is not a Fox owned station either. I can still watch Fox on fox.com without issue.

Same problem here--for a few weeks now. I've sent a couple of emails to support, along with the diagnostic logs, but have yet to hear back. I hope there's a fix soon, but I won't hold my breath.

Same for me — submitted diagnostics more than once to support, but all for naught. While the commercial skip is nice, a missing network more than offsets that good.

I've disabled and re-enabled TVE but my local Fox will not appear. It worked for a long time with Channels. I can log into the Fox web site and watch the local channel without issue.

Any suggestions?

What is the callsign?

WZTV Fox Nashville -shows 403 error after updating to 2022.09.23.0124 pre-release and rescanning TVE.

WJW Cleveland is working.

The 403 error disappeared yesterday.

The 403 Error comes and goes. Fox worked fine all weekend but it's down again now.

Same here. I had WJW Cleveland for about 48 hours but it’s 403 again.

yep, mine was 403 again earlier this evening.

My FOX station has come back as well.

Having this same problem. I get 403 error when trying to watch on the app and when I try and rescan that specific channel, it says 403 from the web settings page. However, I can login to Fox.com/Live and watch channels no problem.

I also updated to the most recent beta and updated Chrome (I'm on a Synology NAS). Any suggestions?
