Reelz no longer working?

For a few days now, whenever you access Reelz, it just says No Signal? Anyone else?

Is this an OTA channel through a hdhomerun? If so, does it work via the HDHR app?

The real reelz (cable channel from HDHR Prime)

That's what it looks like for me, the No Signal. Not finding this with any other TVE Channels.

Same here. I don't watch Reelz basically ever, so it's hard to say what the issue is. But it really looks like it's at the source. That doesn't look like an error message as much as a video showing text that says NO SIGNAL.

Yes, that's actually in the video. I recorded it and although the log said cancelled after 2min timeout it did record that image as a video.

Playing recording

Same here. When I saw my recordings, it was like 600 min, so I knew something was off.

The recorded video is actually 14.31 secs long, but the PTS timestamps are messed up where it jumps from 8 seconds to 12:40:40 (view of individual frames of the recording)

So this is definitely an issue with the Reelz TVE stream. I don’t have access to it, but somebody should contact them and let them know.

Can anyone view their live stream at https://www.reelznow.com/live
I authorized with my Provider, but nothing plays on both Firefox and Edge.

Works for me on Edge

It does play for me. Once I clicked on the player it started playing.
Sounds like a Channels issue.

I don't have this channel so I would need a HAR file to investigate.

I leave that up to MikeCT73
I don't watch or record it, was just trying to help out.

Regular log submission?

See:

Created the file and just emailed.

Not working for me either using DirecTV TVE on Channels. If I can help in any way please let me know.

Requires upgrade to pre-release

Thanks working now. :slightly_smiling_face:
