Streaming apps usually have different sources than the websites. In order to have an apples-to-apples comparison, you need to verify whether the stream works on the network’s website, because that is where Channels receives the stream from.
Maybe a hint....for grins I checked the browser console on A&E....
Access to XMLHttpRequest at 'https://cdn-cedexis.video.aetnd.com/r20.gif?t=23gh5v' from origin 'https://play.aetv.com' has been blocked by CORS policy: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource.
I get my stream from Philo - Channels gives me Stream Not Available and a lot of "Tuner Not Available" but Philo app works just fine for all. Definitely a Channels problem, not a feed problem!

so what does that mean?
No, you authenticate with Philo, but the stream Channels uses come from the network's website. Philo uses a different source than that.
So its been Blocked? Hmm wonder what that means for us?
Nothing so nefarious. It just means that A&E and History are having issues with the live stream on their website at the moment. This type of error usually clear up within a day or so; sometimes it may take longer.

Sound good - hope that is the case for sure
It means somebody has been changing their website streaming and didn't take into account all the security checks in place these days.
What amazes (disappoints) me is that these pay services seem to have no one responsible for ensuring that the TVE streams are actually working. Several days down is really not acceptable.
You can email [email protected] and let them know that https://watch.history.com/live is not working.

If everyone who is following this thread please check A&E. I was able to finally watch it again. History channel appears to be down still. Thanks in advance. I can't play via their site but I can play A&E via channels again.
