I'm also having problems logging in to DirecTV Stream. I updated to the latest pre-release (currently 2024.07.31.1909) but unfortunately that didn't fix it. Any other suggestions? I'm sure the login is correct, because I'm able to sign in to DirecTV Stream directly. But I'm unable to add it as a source in Channels.
No issues here on Directv Stream. What error are you getting?
That's a DTV Stream issue, not a Channels issue. Since you already dl'd the pre-release, try this:
- Restart your server
- open your source and select '"manage lineup". Select the scan button on the right (not the ones on the top)
3). Select an individual channel and rescan only that channel. You may have to rescan several time till it works.
Hopefully that will work for you.
I'm having the same problem as fenwyk -- with essentially all the channels I care about 
I've tried all the solutions suggested above, but no luck. Any help appreciated -- thanks in advance!
The channels are back! It may have been an internet issue that for some reason affected only the particular device on which CDVR runs. Sorry for the false alarm!

This started for me over the weekend. Updating to the latest beta, rescanned channels, and just tried to load LiveTV on half a dozen channels, and suddenly, pop, they were all back. Now for the weird thing, my Mac based server running on Comcast had the problem. My QNAP server running on Ziply, no problems. I realize there are too many variables there to diagnose, but DirecTV Stream has been popping this particular error a lot recently.
I'm on day 2 of my free trial of DirecTV Stream. I tried to add it as a TVE source but it failed with a connection error.

That's the TVE error screenshot:
I went to Watch the NBC Live Stream - NBC.com and linking DirecTV Stream doesn't work so it seems to be a problem on their side. When I click on it, it flashes a white screen with an Adobe authentication attempt (I think) and it goes back to the same screen to pick your provider. It doesn't give me a screen to enter my credentials.
Anybody else having trouble linking their DirecTV Stream provider there?
Edit: I tried with Chrome and Edge, cleared the cache, used an incognito/private window. Even in the NBC Android app it behaves the same way.
I just submitted a support ticket to NBC.
Edit #2: I received a generic response from NBC Digital Support Team and they just have a list of troubleshooting steps that I have already done for the most part.
I may try to reply and see how far I can go.
Maybe this is trying to tell me that DirecTV Stream is not for me.
Did you try authenticating at another network website in your browser to see if it's a DirecTV auth issue?

That's actually one thing I didn't try, I was focused on NBC since this is the one Channels first tries.
As I type now, I have CBS playing after I successfully authenticated with my DirecTV Stream credentials. Everything worked as I expected, I got the screen to input my credentials. It doesn't get that far on NBC.
Too bad Channels doesn't have a backup network to try if NBC fails. Especially since NBC channels are no longer available as TVE channels anyway. So it could still proceed with the source installation with all NBC channels not authorized, which is to be expected.
How can I change the fill_form u=emailaddress? I had to change my email address for directv, and I only see a update password option. Getting old email in the log - so it cant login properly.
Remove it and add it again
Thank you - worked like a charm!!

Is anyone having issues with ESPN or CBS? I just got DirecTV Stream and get "not authorized." ESPN works on the app. I've deleted and re-added the source with no luck. I'm on the current pre-release. Is there a fix?
EDIT: Reboot allowed me to pick up ESPN, but CBS is still not working, and Fox Sports is now not working. I think it could be a DirecTV issue, as authentication with EPlusTV is not working for any channel even though they work on TV everywhere.
EDIT#2: Turns out it was a DTV issue. ESPN and Fox Sports are working now.
If anyone is interested. Direc tv stream now has skinny packages starting at $34.99 and you can get Hulu/Disney plus/ Max/ ESPN Plus included depending on the package.

I'm sorry what do you mean it was a DTV issue.. how did you get it fixed?
Were you asking me? I can only explain it as one day it wasn't working, and the next day it was. During my trial, I couldn't always log into DTV TV everywhere. It was hit or miss, but eventually, ESPN and Fox Sports just worked.
Hello Richard,
Where are you seeing skinny packages on directv site? I'm looking now and I see 4 packages, Entertainment, Choice, Ultimate and Premier, with Entertainment @ $75/mo. How so I get these "skinny" packages?
