So you want me to call DirecTV and tell them that I do not want the "license agreement" prompt to come up during login? I do not think I am going to get very far on that.
How about TVE just answers the prompt?
Did you miss that I am saying that I can stream just fine after I answer the "license agreement" prompt?
Yes. I read your statement that the prompt constantly appears, and you cannot access the stream.
Regardless, the fact that the interaction between their auth server and the network websites does not retain your acceptance of the agreement means there is a problem with the procedure. If it only happened with one network's sites—only NBCUniversal networks, or only ViacomCBS networks—then I would say the problem was with the network. But since you have indicated the problem occurs with every site you try, that leads me to believe the problem is in DirecTV's end. The only resolution in that case is for DirecTV to fix it.
If that page is constantly displaying for you, then it is constantly displaying for Channels. Channels cannot change how the authentication flow works, so there really isn't anything they can do. If you choose not to follow up with DirecTV support, then I suppose you'll just have to wait until someone else complains about the situation or they become aware of it, and fix it.
No, with a browser I can access the stream just fine.
You and I may not like it but there are lots of web sites that I am required to use that make me answer a license agreement question every time I login. Who am I to argue with their lawyers?
Checking the log my issue seemed to be a splash asking whether I wanted to login via ATT or Directv. Logged into the ATT page and was prompted to change my password. Did that and my issue seems to be resolved.

Just signed up for Directv Stream Ultimate and have a question. There are some channels that don't show in Channels DVR and am wondering if certain channels won't work with TVE. My wife wanted to get the DYI Network-now Magnolia Network on dtv channel 230. And I'd like the AXS TV on dtv channel 340. They don't even show in the channel scan list.
I also notice the Starz channels don't show, but I assume that's normal.
But let me know about the other 2 channels I'm looking for. Thank you!
Magnolia is there; AXS is not.
Correct. Premium networks are not supported.
Ok thanks! But I still cannot find Magnolia. Are the channel numbers in Channels universal? If so, what channel are you seeing Magnolia on there?
I see it in the Directv Stream app, just not channels. I'm running the latest pre-release of Channels.
Yes, all TVE channels have the same numbers, regardless of which credentials you use. 6100–6114 are the Discovery Networks channels, and Magnolia is 6108. (Internally, Channels still calls it DIY I believe.)
Bummer. It is Not showing on my end. Not even in Channels scan list, and I've rescanned numerous times. 
I see that I have nothing in the Discovery lineup except 6107. Again, the dtv app shows it all.
Yep, nothing in the Discovery lineup except 6107
In that case, go to sciencechannel.com, and login with your credentials. Stream a program, and then attempt rescanning.
OK I see an issue. Didn't realize the edit function in Channels server scan list shows why...
403: Not permitted to watch. (access.denied.missingpackage)
Thank for the help. I tried the sciencechannel login and stream, but still no go on channel rescan. I see others have had the error I'm getting so I do my research. Thanks.
Ha! I just had to remove the Source and re add it. Got the channels now. Thanks again.

I've used TVE with Xfinity for a while but just now am switching to Directv Stream for a lower price. I'm struggling to find one of the regional sports channel on TVE. Specifically, I can't find Bally Sports. It's available in my package and on the Directv Stream App...just not TVE.
Bally Sports channels are DRM protected, and not available via TVE in Channels.
