So you can’t sin in to Discovery directly?

Just checked mine and Discovery is still working with YTTV

Actually it's not.
It's a list of apps you can use, it's not a list of YouTube TV channels you get with YouTube TV, their list for that is here https://thestreamable.com/channels

Richard_smith gave you this link to google (who provides YouTube TV) showing what channels are available https://support.google.com/youtubetv/answer/7556177?hl=en

Edit your Channels DVR channel list and rescan the Discovery channel.

OK it seems we got into two different problems in the same thread. I do get Discovery in You Tube TV and all there other channels! My problem is I don't get Discovery on TVE which I had been getting until a few weeks ago. The following link seen to conform that I won't get Discovery on TVE. https://thestreamable.com/tv-everywhere-apps Am I correct about this? If not what is this link talking about? Are you saying you are getting Discovery on TVE currently?

Don’t know how many times I need to tell you. The site is wrong. Go to YTTV directly.

If you are not getting them edit them in settings

@herbertmiller
Maybe reading your posts from last August will jog your memory.

My DVR currently has these channels Supported by YouTube TV. You should be seeing these.

Getting this on some channels via YTTV..encountered exception 'Uncaught' (5:5) On channels ID, Travel Channel and MotorTrend

Hit edit and rescan

Still didn't work..even tried to manually scan them..also accidently removed my Dish Network sourse and keep getting a chrome auth_timed_out error

Try rebooting your DVR server or restart the Channels service. There is a known issue where the cache for YTTV can get messed up. I had to so this a week or so ago, and it fixed the issue.

I was having the same problems with chrome auth_time (basically couldn't get the channel to load). Rescanned my TVE YouTube TV went from 108 channels down to 50! Lost CNBC, ESPN, FX etc. Not sure what to do now. This sucks.

What is strange is I can go to the below listed CNBC Link and use my YouTube TV Credentials and I can log in successfully to CNBC. (and watch Live TV)

Click and hold on the Check for Update button then try scanning again.

Checked and held update and got my channels in question to reappear..also got my Dish source back up and running after waiting overnight to rescan

Updated and re-scanned You Tube TV.
Still only getting 51 Channels.
Wondering if You Tube TV lost some of its TVE rights for certain channels?

I had to call Xfinity today and add streaming TV to my internet only package. 135 channels showed up on the Xfinity TVE scan.

Figured it out! On a long shot I deleted the You Tube TV Source and started from scratch. Added a new source, selected You Tube TV, entered my credentials and it scanned back to 105 channels!
Guess I can cancel Xfinity TV Streaming now.

My setup:

Xfinity
136 channels
DVR: X-TVE

YouTube TV
105 channels
DVR: X-TVE

Philo
82 channels
DVR: X-TVE

HDHomeRun QUATRO

DVR: USA-OTA

Philo works. YouTube TV still does not.
