Not quite IP address. It's the MAC of the DOCSIS modem. What ever services are associated to the account owning the modem is what you get.
FWIW - I have Spectrum service in Honolulu and I use it with Channels DVR's in Honolulu and California. There are 463 stations listed on my HDHomeRun Prime in Honolulu, 417 of which are hidden due to DRM [grumble]. I also have TVE in addition to the Prime so that I can implement a "whole home DVR" in Honolulu because Spectrum doesn't offer that service anymore. The Spectrum TVE source in Honolulu lists 171 channels. The Spectrum TVE source in California lists 176 channels. There are a few channels that show up only in Honolulu, and a few that only show up in California, but most channels (about 165) are available on both DVRs.
Spectrum in Honolulu was formerly Oceanic Time Warner Cable. Consequently, the policies and agreements related to TVE providers might be different than Spectrum services elsewhere.
Gratuitous trivia: If you were a fan of "Lost", you've seen Oceanic Time Warner's logo - it was used as the logo for the Oceanic Airlines flight that crashed at the start of the series.

Is there even a possibility of ever adding the IP-based locals (direct from spectrum) to TVEverywhere? Unfortunately, this would end up being a deal-breaker for me on Channels, as i need the locals via streaming to get conjoining markets. The "national" ones won't fly.
No. Channels will work with QAM cable feeds (ClearQAM with any HDHR tuner, encrypted QAM feeds with a CableCARD and a Prime), or using your credentials for TVE feeds from the network websites.
IP-based cable is not something supported by Channels. (I doubt it is something that will ever be supported. The IP route is what cable companies are doing to skirt around the CableCARD requirements.)
How did you connect to your spectrum app?
Hi, Ian. I downloaded the Spectrum app to my Android device and logged in.
Are you trying to ask how to use your Spectrum account with Channels DVR?
I'm trying to add my TV provider, 'Spectrum Business' so that I can use the Channels App with this service. When I try to authenticate I get the following error: 'We're sorry, this app is unavailable for Spectrum Business customer's. Reference code ELI-1015. Are there any workarounds?
Thanks,
TG
DABL on TVE providers Spectrum and Philo does not appear to be working last few days. It is available on their website: https://www.dabl.com/schedule
It's a free channel. Nothing to do with needing a provider sign in
Good point. I wonder why it's not working through the guide. Not working using 2020.10.19.0108.

They recently added that continue button, so the DVR needs to be updated to handle it. Hopefully they will be able to do so soon.
Thank you for the explanation.

Getting error
abcgo: 1039:This station's live stream is not available through your TV Provider.
I’m watching it now on Abc.com
If you're getting that error when trying to view Live at https://abc.com/watch-live/abc
Here's what ABC has to say.
If you go to their Support site and look at the FAQ's, here's a few.
They basically tell you to contact your local ABC station.
Why isn't live streaming available in my location?
The live stream may not be available in your geographic area yet or your TV provider does not participate in live streaming ABC. We're working hard to add more geographic areas and more participating TV providers in the near future.
I can watch full episodes with my participating TV provider, but I can't view the live stream.
The ABC live stream is currently only available in select geographic areas. We're working hard to add more regions in the near future.
Where is the live stream available?
The ABC live stream for your local station is determined by your physical location. You must be located within each available station's local viewing area and verify your participating TV provider account to access the ABC live stream. Program substitutions may apply.
To see if you are in a supported live streaming location, please contact your local ABC station.
P.S. I don't get my Local Fox station via TVE because they don't stream 7x24.

What? I said I’m watching it now. Meaning I can watch it live on the website.
OK, wasn't sure if you were watching their on-demand shows or live tv.
I know they use geo-location services to identify your browsers location.
My local TVE NBC channel 6000 according to NBC is WNBCDT New York, NY even though I'm in CA.
And the weird thing is they know where I'm located. TVE 6000 NBC mapped to wrong feed
Go figure.
Ok. The feed seems weird. Before I sign in it shows my local affiliate live stream. After I sign in it looks like I get a national feed, with no call letters.
Removing and re-adding the TVE source for my Spectrum account fixed the problem for me. Prior to that I'd always get "TVE: authz retries failed" in the log when trying to view a stream, even after rescanning the channel list.
