I am not getting listings for the Dove channel. Is this a Sling issue or Channels?
My XFINITY Dove says "To Be Announced"

And now I have them. Seriously, I did not have them for days.

Replying to the post from Nov 23. Just thought that I would add that you also get History, FXM,FXX, and FS2 in Sling TVE if you have those add-ons.
So...who else took advantage of the 200 bucks for 4 months deal?
The TVE options are anemic but still usable for me (ESPN and FS1 is there) and I got my HDMI encoder coming in (and i got an old firetv on standby) so that'll help ease problems.
Gonna be my goto during football season
I might do this, but waiting a few more days so that 4 months will carry all the way through the CFB national championship. Yeah, Sling's TVE availability sucks but I can always watch through their app if I have to.

Planning on the same thing. To me, it's also about maximizing Hockey season.
Yeah...I took a bite earlier to watch EPL games but yeah. I'm still good until Boxing Day (which is fine because my Giants may be on TV here in Miami or eliminated from the playoffs)

I have the Sling TV Blue plan in one of the major O&O media markets, and I'm getting very little of any value via TVE within Channels DVR anymore.
I used to get my local NBC affiliate and my local Fox affiliate in my major market city. First the NBC channel access disappeared a long time back, and now more recently, I still show a channel for my Fox affiliate within Channels, but it doesn't actually play any content when I click it.
Within Channels, otherwise, I can still access A&E, History, Lifetime, FS1, Comet, and some misc. news and sports channels that I believe Channels itself provides to subscribers.
Yet for some reason, with the same Sling TV Blue subscription, I still get my local Fox and NBC affiliates via my Stremium / Fitzy subscription, and both play just fine there and always have, along with numerous other regular cable channels via my linked Sling subscription.
Those use different sources than Channels do. Channels uses the site to get the feed (ie. FOX fox.com) but streamium and sling gets it direct from the broadcasters usually.
Sling has always had poor TVE options, which I am told is part of the reason it can be cheaper than Fubo, YTTV, etc. another big part is the lack of locals. I enjoy the TVE as "freebies" (mostly FS1 for racing), have an HDHR and antenna for locals, and use the ADBtuner project to record the rest of Sling. Works very well.
if you are someone who uses something like ADB Tuner you will have a better experience with Channels.
NBC and fox left TVE long ago.
I have tested Sling using my 4k onn box and ADB Tuner and it works great.
I'm on YTTV and it works great.
The use of channels will require a bit of work but once it is setup, you won't have to do much with it.
I've often thought of moving to Sling but i like what i have here and it seems to work great.

I expect Sling TV to go away (or radically change), soon after if this goes through. Just like Dish acquired and then later shutdown Republic Wireless.
I have SlingTV TVE Set up.
The CNN Live TV Stream is not in the guide but I can access it at https://www.cnn.com/videos/live using my YouTubeTV Credentials but not using my SlingTV Credentials.
The MSNBC Live TV Stream is not in guide but I can access it at MSNBC Live: Stream the latest TV shows using My SlingTV Credentils but not my YouTubeTV Credentails.
Any work-arounds? Due to the recent YTTV price increase I'm trying to go with SlingTV going forward.
Search the forms here, SlingTV is the WORST for TVE access. They probably do not offer TVE for those channels u want.
There are other options, like ADBTuner, chrome capture, HDMI encoder etc. all u can find pretty easy via this community forms search.
also, use this thread for Sling TV source talk

SlingTV doesn't offer TVE access to CNN
See https://getchannels.com/docs/channels-dvr-server/tv-everywhere/availability/#slingtv
All NBCU channels (including MSNBC) were removed April 2023 due to DRM
Thanks for putting me in the right place..
I'll search for ADBTuner, chrome capture, HDMI encoder and take a look there. I realized I already have MSNBC via the NBC channels but for whatever reason it isn't showing up in the guide.
I'm looking to drop YTTV because it is now $84 and Sling is much less, especially if I dust off my HDHR Quad Tuners for the locals. I do need a spectrum of news streams and can easily watch them on the native Sling App if the ADBTuner, chrome capture, HDMI encoder solutions don't pan out.
Would someone with Sling using TVE check and see if FS1 is still available? I just resubscribed (for FS1) and I'm not able to add it permissions] (and the Channels TVE chart doesn't show it) when I've had no trouble for the last few years.
Working here. Try re scanning channels.
