Interesting. So Philo is okay, but YouTubeTV not okay. I didn't even know that was possible.
I was on chat with them about 2 weeks ago. They escalated as the agent couldn't figure out why I could access the other channel on the web but not Magnolia even though I could in their app. I'm not holding my breath of course.
Back when I was using Spectrum, I couldn't get Magnolia to work on TVE. Same situation, never resolved. I ended up subscribing to PhiloTV for that one channel. Didn't realize this was also the case with YTTV.
Per their help site it's not available via TVE

Developers, are you able to get HLN working? Please advise.
Latest pre-release v2026.03.07.2248
I'm seeing this in the DVR log when trying to play the HLN TVE channel.

Funny - FS1/FS2/BTN just stopped working for me:
not entitled: mvpd: Resource is not supported by MVPD
I checked mine just now and all three of those are working. Probably a temporary authentication issue. I get that quite often with those three channels.
Replying to this as well as I have YouTube TV with TV Everywhere via channels. At some point in the last month or so I lost access from Channels to many networks. Most notably the full ESPN family of channels and FX. I tried to "Rescan All Channels" and that didn't do anything.
I still get quite a few TV Everywhere channels including TBS, TNT, AMC, TMC, FS1, FS2, B1G, CBS Sports and like 80 others. So it isn't a straight authentication issue but for some reason I lost ESPN, FX, and I'm sure many more. Other people having this problem and tips on what I should do to fix? Channels server is running on an N100 mini PC (Win 11). YTTV TVE lineup below still lists ESPN:
It was all over the forum a while back...
Okay, so it's not just me... Figured that was the case but search didn't turn it up for me. Thanks for confirming my fears.

Thank you for fixing this!!!!!!!!!! I'm getting YTTV and it's got a lot of TVE channels!
Update: I installed the latest pre-release that includes the YouTube TV login fix. This did not fix it for me, My Channels DVR Server is updated and running normally. Storage is configured. I sell selected YouTube tv under tv everywhere. Either dress nothing or redirects to AMC After restarting the Mac mini simply returns to username and password without opening YouTube tv auth. page. Is there another workaround I can try?.ect YouTube TV under TV Everywhere, but clicking Sign In either does nothing or previously redirected me to the AMC login page. The Learn More button opens normally, so the browser can launch external pages. Is there a diagnostic log or another workaround I should try
