Are you the Milwaukee viewing area?

It's okay, I'll leave.

I have access to Fox Sports Ohio but it’s via YouTube TV. Is that any use to you?

TCM's west feed seems to be streaming only. It isn't carried on any cable provider I know of, and there isn't even a satellite distribution feed for it listed on the sites that track such things. Probably something that will launch in the future whenever they discontinue distribution of SD feeds for their channels and require cable/satellite providers to downconvert the HD version to generate an SD feed. Without the channel officially existing as a channel, there's no guide listing available.

The Fox Sports stuff is not finished yet. I also have issues watching MLB games on my local Fox Sports station. Rest assured that the Channels developers are fully aware of the issue and are working to improve it. There is a lot that is going on behind the scenes with how the Fox Sports networks streams are operated to account for the different pro teams that have different coverage areas and blackouts, and it's orders of magnitude more complex than the other channels.

Edit: I just updated to the latest DVR version and now MLB is working for me. Great work!

Correct, guide data is not available for this channel. Apparently it's a web-only stream and none of the cable companies carry it.

This bug should be fixed in the latest build. If anyone sees it again, please let me know.

I found a workaround and these channels should be working again in the latest build!

If the game is on FS Sports Wisconsin, that's one of the channels which was added a few days ago.

PS Vue is now working again as @tmm1 said. I went from 103 to 121 channels with my Core Package.

For @Kryptonyte - the channels you first posted about are now working. I.E. Discovery, TCL etc.

Thanks.

Just want to say this has come a long way since the BETA launch 3 weeks ago.

Keep up the great work :+1::+1::+1:

Anyone else having a 40-50 second delay on TVE channels? My Synology time is correct and it starts recording exactly on time, but all shows start late except for the OTA channels. I’m using DTV Now credentials for TVE.

Yep. And I don't think it matters which provider login you use as I assume they all use the same CDN for whatever channel is being viewed/recorded.

Most of my cable channels from the HDHR PRIME start up to 30 seconds late and the TVE channels start a bit later than those.
I usually add 30s - 1m end padding to recordings.

What would be interesting is if someone could play the same feeds live from cable and TVE and see how much difference there is in timing.

I assume the TVE channels are transcoded for streaming which adds a delay compared to the cable/satellite feeds. Add to that the transcoding/stat-muxing by cable/sat providers for the feeds they receive including your local OTA channels they carry.

Yes. I believe this is normal. When I first suggested my daughter get something like Hulu Live or DTVN her husband said but the streaming services are all delayed about 30 seconds. That surprised me but it is true and I would need to test again but maybe the TVE is a little more delayed. He said it only bothers him for sports when it might get a text from a friend that is on OTA for the same game.

I’ve added a minute to the end of all DVR recordings. That extra minute just barely catches the end. The next selection is a 5 minutes. Wondering if there is anything in the works to fine tune the DVR settings for TVE channel delays?

Doubt it since it probably varies by channel, but I'm sure the Devs will reply.
Just happy I'm able to record them.

We are aware of the delay issues impacting recording start/stop. Some of the streams advertise their time and delay so we are working to integrate that.

After updating to the latest beta,, I again tried to get the discovery channels authorized. Failed again. So on a long shot, I decided to completely remove the TVE Verizon line up.

Added it back and now I have those channels. I dunno.... but I'm glad I can now testing those channels.

Thanks for all the hard work.

FYI... I tried to rescan TLC and it worked after the new version. But instead of trying to rescan all of them including the new sports I removed PS Vue and re-added. As I said before t went from 103 to 121 available.

Thanks to the Channels DVR developers for making this available. Really is a great addition to using the Prime HDHR Tuner.
