TV Anywhere Question

Are there any providers that allow or show local channels? How about Directv Stream? I've read they share more channels than most online.... Thanks! Steve

ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC and PBS should work with DirecTV Stream.
If you can login with your DirecTV Stream credentials at their Live websites and watch, it should work with the Channels DVR Experimental setting Local Networks via TV Everywhere checked

Pretty happy with HuluTV. It's one of the few that had TBS and TNT on TV Everywhere as far as I could tell. I tried FubuTV which didn't have those channels on TVE, and SlingTV is terrible on TVE in terms of the number of channels. I see there's periodic issues with people using YouTubeTV with TVE and Channels, so I chose HuluTV.

Thanks for the info.... where is the Local Networks via TV Everywhere setting? I looked but did'nt see it....

All the way the bottom of the web UI, under Experimental. It’s the first checkbox. Make sure you’re running the latest pre-release of the DVR server.

Channels Pre-Release
Don't know why they're still hiding this.

and then do I need to rescan my channels?

No, not if you're running the latest pre-release version.
They should appear as channels 6000-6004.

Thank You!

FYI ... I did have to rescan the channels .... added the locals total of 11 more channels ... On Xfinity.... I was thinking about Directv Stream for locals but this is great! Thanks again...
