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?
thx.
I am looking at the DirecTV Stream Genre Pack, My Entertainment. It has Disney+, Hulu Bundle Basic and MAX Basic With Ads plus 40 channels for $34.99 a month.

Does anyone have this package? And how many of these channels available on TVE?
Thanks!
I get about 35 of the Directv 45 channels using Channels DVR TVE. Another 70 channels are included in the TVE scan that are just extras. They have a 5 day trial period, so you may find it worth your while to see for yourself.
