I know.

I lost about 20 channels. CSPAN, AMC, IFC, and many others. Surprisingly , I did not lose the discovery networks.

I saw both typical adobe login auth errors and similar “data not found” errors posted above. I was able to rescan everything but it took several tries. Eventually by updating the server to latest prerelease and rescanning it seemed to fix things. I was on a very recent prerelease before updating yesterday to latest, so i wasnt lagging weeks or months behind on the server pre-releases.

This morning i reactivated my Philo service and added as a source and all my channels came back.That tells me it's all tied to how Spectrum login works on some channels.

#26

I just applied the 8/3 patch, but am still seeing the problem. Has anyone else been able to solve the issue?

#27

2026.08.04.2224 fixed it for me

#28

I applied the 8/4 pre-release and scanned Spectrum and nothing updated. I removed Spectrum as a source and then added it back. It's taking a very long time to scan the channels. When it got to the missing channels from Discovery it slowed even more. I'll advise after it finishes the scan.

#29

Odd, TBS and TCM authorized, but the Discovery group still does not.

Try an individual scan for one station a couple times. I’ve had channels not authorize with the initial scan but came to life after manually scanning that channel.

#31

Thank you, gave it a try with no luck.

#32

It don’t cost anything to try. Sorry it didn’t work.

#33

I updated to the-latest pre release posted today, removed the TVE and re-added and got the missing channels back

#34

I've gotten some back, but now get this error.

I am getting the same error. I will just wait a while and see if it goes away.

#36

Got the same error about "bot detection" now. For some reason TNT/TBS/TRU now are working, but everything else fails with that bot error.

#37

This morning I subscribed to the DIRECTV Entertainment genre pack $45 per month. It has 95% of the channels I watch. If Spectrum can't get it together, I'll join the 1000's of subscribers they lose every month.

By the way, DIRECTV authorized quickly and seems to load channels quicker than Spectrum.

#38

Did you try the latest pre-release version

#39

I've tried this with version 2026.08.06.1842 and some channels are still experiencing the bot detection message in the logs (Discovery, HGTV, Magnolia network).

I'm running two servers, a primary and backup. Both have the most recent prerelease. One will.authenticate 100 Spectrum channels and the other only 77 Spectrum channels. I get the same errors about the bots.

I subscribed to the DIRECTV Entertainment Genre package for $45 per month. DIRECTV had no issues authenticating all the channels blocked by Spectrum. We'll see what happens.

Scan a single channel at a time. Spectrum has always been sensitive about authorizing a lot of channels at once and blocking login when to many are tried in a short period of time.
