Provider - Spectrum

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.

TVE seems to be broken for Spectrum. Trying to add it, I just get this:

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.

I lost about 15 channels on Spectrum (not authorized) this morning. Am I the only one?

Did you ever get the channels back? I just lost about 60 channels due to the spectrum not authorized error

Not really. TCM will work for a day or two with a manual single channel scan then stop. Same wit CNN,HLN,TBS. I miss TCM but at least their app is good and no commercials. No time shift though:(

If you're missing channels, submit diagnostics and request support. The Channels team will help.

I got mine back finally. It was in the 3rd delete and readd of the TVE source

I don't know what changed but I am getting CNN for the first time in weeks! Also getting the others like TNT, TBS, TMC, ect.

HGTV via Spectrum stopped tuning yesterday with a “context cancelled” error. Tried re-scanning the channel, no luck. Getting “UNKNOWN_URL_SCHEME” in the logs. Tried updating password, no change. Took drastic step of removing the source, but when I try to add it back I get the dreaded “context cancelled” error right away and it doesn’t add. So now it’s gone completely. Latest pre-release running on a Synology DS218+, DSM 7. Submitted diagnostics as d503a625-0301-4d28-8919-cfd1aafce0af. This reminds me of what happened to YouTube TV a week or two ago. I really hope that’s not the issue as I’ve now gone from two TVE providers to zero, and my channel list has shrunk dramatically. :cry:

Aman got back to me via e-mail and suggested I click and hold the sign in button after entering my credentials. That did the trick, channels are scanning now!
