Science Channel is not recording any shows and is throwing an error when accessing the channel:
Failed: could not start stream on channels=[6110]: TVE: "no login form found"
Science Channel is just one channel, I am not sure if any others are having issues.

You probably need to upgrade to prerelease, then click the gear icon next to Philo and select Update Password
I will try that and I noticed it is happening with TVE via Frontier also. But not the extent at which a majority of my Philo channels just stop working today.
Thanks, I updated to the prerelease. All the Philo channels seem to have returned. However, the Science Channel is still not working for both Philo and Frontier. I can login to Science via their website using my Philo login,.
Did you try rescanning that one channel via the Rescan channels menu? Did you update your password already too?
Yes, I did rescan all channels and that channel. Updated password sign on via Philo. TVE-Frontier rescan shows - no refresh token. The channel is missing via TVE= Philo

i get no refresh token as well in science channel

Rescanning after prerelease gives me no refresh token as well.
DVR version 2021.07.20.0214 and Xfinity provider
I get this repeating every second for eight seconds trying to watch Science channel.

Other Discovery Network channels are working.
I don't want to try any rescanning since other channels are working.
The last time I re-authed all Discovery Network channels, including Science was 9 days ago.
Would appear Science channel is having issues. Can't connect from DVR and web site appears to be down logging from incognito with Hulu sign in.
So folks I don't believe it is anything the Devs have control over.

Streaming for me with my Xfinity credentials.
Took awhile as Xfinity kept prompting me to add another email or phone#.
I just went back to the live stream site and it logged me in.
Yup Science Channel down with Directv log in. Get playback failed when trying to watch it and when I tried to rescan the channel I got no refresh token
Thanks everyone for checking everyone. Still appears to be done. =(
Adding Cox to the list of providers, definitely appears to be a Science Channel issue:
I got a new router so I could use my PiHole again and was testing everything. Glad to have confirmation that the channel is not related to that!
Yeah, I'll chime in on this too. On Spectrum and AT&T TV. Glad I'm not alone. Running Windows ChannelsDVR Server 2021.07.20.0214.
Is anyone else able to stream live from their website (where Channels gets its feed)

After authenticating with My Xfinity credentials I have to click on the On Now video to start it streaming, but it works.
Site may look different to you, I'm using the Dark Reader extension on Firefox.
I'm still seeing the same errors when trying to watch from Channels

I can watch it from their site using my Philo log in info. Just can't get it via Channels DVR at this time.
PS: Running 2021.07.21.2102
Science Channel is back on Optimum, was down this morning!
Ditto with Cox and 2021.07.22.1422. I also tested on Cox's TVE website and it was fine. @tmm1, I changed my mind; this problem appears to be uniquely in Channels.
I see the same thing with my Philo account… works fine via credentials trough the Science Channel website.
