Spectrum Authorization

I tried switching providers from COX to spectrum within channels and it was a big no go with a spectrum splash screen.

However, I was able to revive my 20 missing channels or so today, by using the "update password" under the source manage page. I did not change the password, I just put the same one back in and saved it. Then the rescan went through

I called up some buddies at Spectrum support (I work in telcomm IT) and they worked some magic, all of the TVE channels that are supposed to work (non drm) work now In Channels DVR, including TCM!! and no need for Levis or Docker or SlowChannels.

Wow. I thought you were pulling our collective leg here. But the Spectrum TVE works perfectly once again. It only took a couple minutes to scan through the channels when I added the source, and I now have access to all the channels I'm supposed to once again. If this was really your doing s7s6 (and I have no reason to doubt you), then thank you so much for getting Spectrum to get their shit together.

Now that I've got a working Spectrum TVE once again, the one question I have is why can't we get both the east & west coast versions of some of these stations? Particularly the Food Network stations (Animal Planet, HGTV, Food Network, Travel, Discovery, Magnolia, etc). Using Prismcast, I can get TVE versions of both the east and west feeds for all of these stations. But Channels DVR only grabs one version (east coast for me). Is there a reason Channels is limited to only getting one or the other feed?

I'm having this same issue. Removed my source because I have changed Spectrum accounts to a different email address, and now I can't add it back. I'm on 2026.08.07.0346 on a Synology, which says I'm on the latest version and don't know how to update to the version that seems to be working. Any ideas?

Check for Pre-Release

Same error after updating. Is there any other setting I should look at? I didn't change anything after removing my previous spectrum account to this one, so I can't imagine anything needs to be changed, though.

I just installed the pre-release and I am still having this issue. HELP PLEASE! :slight_smile:

4000 is just like the other errors; a timeout, except it seems to be longer than the others.

I was getting this for my Discovery stations for about 3-4 days and it cleared up on its own. I've had it on my Turner Sports stations for about 2 weeks now, but apparently a couple of days ago TNT/TNTP fixed themselves. I did nothing special; just run a check every 24 hours to see if they work or not. I'm thinking this is a Spectrum-to-Provider problem.
