Short time user, new to Sling Orange, ESPN now showing as TVE channel?

Channels DVR Server TV Everywhere
#1

I've been using Channels for about a month with an HDHomeRun device. It was a bit rocky at first but that was all on HDHomeRun as the problems existed on all streaming apps, even HDHomeRuns. The Channels DVR has some issues, but it working generally well now.

I just (today) subscribed to Sling Orange...primarily for ESPN with the expectation that I'd use its TVE stream to DVR games with Channels.

When I added my Sling account to Channels, it finds 62 channels, but no ESPN. I've verified that I can sing into espn.com/watch using the Sling credentials. Why is Channels unable access ESPN. It isn't even in the list of channels.

On the DVR Web UI if you click the source and edit the channel list you should be able to see all possible channels. It should definitely be there. Once you find it, try to Texan just that channel to see if it authorizes.

I have this problem for Comedy Central but ESPN 1,2 have always worked as expected.

I've tried the DVR Web UI to rescan the channels and edit the channel list. It wasn't there. Then, I tried it again, after waiting a day, and now, I get more channels. I didn't do anything different than what I had already tried. Perhaps there was a delay between signing up and getting the channels???

I lost a few good channels today with my Spectrum credentials:(
Hopefully they come back sooner rather than later/never...

Try rescanning the channels individually to see if they come back.

Thanks but that is the obvious first thing I tried. Removed source and re-add is always the second thing...still no luck.
