Channels DVR Server TV Everywhere

I want to add local stations to YTTV on Channels TVE. I understand local stations require OTA antenna (bought Clearstream Eclipse) since they don't support TVE. I just discovered my HD Homerun Primes do not support OTA antenna I bought.

Clearstream TV only supports one channel and has poor reviews.

If I buy a Silicondust Connect Duo or Extend to work with Clearstream OTA antenna, is this all I need to add local channels to Channels DVR?

Where does the EPG come from for Connect/Extend? I don't need to buy EPG from Silicondust do I?

Is there a better hw than Connect/Extend with OTA antenna to add local stations to Channels with YTTV?

Thanks!

Channels only supports HDHomeRun, and the CONNECT is the best one to get. Don't bother with the EXTEND.

The DVR will provide EPG once you attach the antenna and set up the HDHR.

Youtube TV 2 factor authentication login fails

NOTE: that if you have 2FA enabled on your Google account, you will not be able to use it with Channels DVR. You can create a secondary family account login and use that instead: https://support.google.com/youtubetv/answer/7251139?hl=en

NOTE: If you have Channels DVR running on the NVidia SHIELD, then YouTube TV login is not supported.

TIP: For best results, before adding your YouTube TV account to Channels DVR, first visit https://nbc.com/live and login there to authorize TVE access.

I don't have two factor auth on my account, but today I tried rescanning channels and only 61 channels were listed, after orig 110+. I deleted the source and tried adding back but now only get this error message:

Just tried updating again and Youtube channels were found.

I have YouTube TV working in Channels but can't seem to get my local channels to show up in Channels (ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox, CW, PBS. I can view my local affiliates just fine in YouTube TV but not in Channels.

I've also setup an HDHomeRun Connect Quatro but my antenna is not strong enough to pickup all my local channels. Do I have any other options to get my local stations watchable in Channels?

#274

You might get ABC NBC and FOX the rest don’t have TVE streams. You can see if Locast is available in your area

When using my YouTube TV account, I can't get access to NBCSN Bay Area nor NBCSN California. But I have access to both using their websites. It says unauthorized rsn. Any chance you guys can help?

I have a similar setup with a Connect Quatro. The local channels are very sensitive to antenna placement and orientation. tvfool.com will show you direction and distance to your local stations. As a best case, I put my antenna outside and got over 100 channels in the Bay area. With antenna in the garage I only got 17 channels and was missing SF stations 35 miles away. When I put antenna at ground level and oriented towards SF, I got 80+ channels, including SF stations. I have only one exterior wall between antenna and SF now. I have a Clearstream Eclipse antenna. Orientation of antenna is critical. Varying orientation by a few degrees results in getting or not getting a channel in SF. Good luck.
