No, it signs into YouTubeTV and fetches the free channels despite not starting the trial or ever having a membership, I just installed the app on my phone and opened it. I've removed the Xfinity, and made sure it was gone, the channels work. I remember someone else asking somewhere how to get just these channels. Would be a good way. I'm still curious if I start the trial will it find more channels.
Yes others have noticed this in the past. Even if you have a trial account that expired you can use it to get the free channels.
Okay I am confused because I see it says YouTube tv everywhere login is not supported when running dvr on Nvidia shield, yet I am doing this just fine.
First I’ve ever heard of it working. Perhaps something was updated that removed the limitation.
Well not sure if you just cannot do it directly from shield itself, I just use chrome on my iPad connected to my shield IP address and added through settings, no issues.
YTTV added support to Warner channels? I tried and it wouldn't rescan for it.. Unless I did something wrong
I went into YTTV and did an edit. I then scanned CNN stations and TBS stations individually and it authenticated just find.
How do you do that? I rescanned and still didn't find CNN or any of the channels that it says that is there
And it says that Destination America is supported, but nothing as well.. Same with Longhorn Network. I'm lost and confused
I tried the Edit and nothing happened that way either
Not sure. I am on the latest pre-release.
I checked for an update and it's fully updated as well. I guess I'm not that lucky
I got it to work
How did you get it to work? Like your screenshot above, I have "YouTube TV does not provide TVE access to CNN" and "YouTube TV does not provide TVE access to TBS".
Are you on the latest pre-release? I upgraded and scanned the channels and they appeared immediately.
First time setting up Youtube TV provider, after I put the username and password, it kept saying "Cable provider authentication failed" and "this browser may not be secure". Tried both chrome and safari but still the same error. Any ideas?
