Sling TV? No ESPN? [FIXED by ReScan]

Had YTTV before. Cancelled everything. Signed up for Sling TV (big mistake) and reconnected my Channels DVR. But it's not picking up ESPN like I had it doing with YTTV. Is ESPN on Sling TV still broken? Saw a thread from 2021 about that.

Sling has horrible TVE support. Are you certain ESPN is supported? Can you view ESPN live on their site with your Sling credentials?

Well, I was able to watch ESPN via the ESPN website just now, using my Sling credentials.

Don't know if this has been kept up-to-date, but it shows ESPN TVE available for SlingTV

Are you running the latest DVR Pre-Release version?
Channels Pre-Release update

What does Rescan Channels show next to ESPN, a checkmark or an error?

What does Support > Troubleshooting show on your server?

Okay, I did a re-scan and it showed me all the missing channels as "unauthorized".
So, I did a manual re-scan of just ESPN-only and it came up fine.
Then, I did a full-rescan and they all went away.
Did another full-rescan and ESPN and a bunch of others are looking and playing properly now.
Sorry for the false alarm!

Btw I'm on version but downloading the pre-release now.

Glad you got it working.
If only a few channels in error, best to just rescan each channel individually.
