TVE - Destination America Issue

[RTNDO128]

I’m on Verizon Fios. I prefer using TVE for Destination American because the video quality is better that what I get through cable. For some reason, it takes 25+ seconds to tune to the channel. Logs submitted as f172b624-2e46-401c-b106-99d5f9355f85

This is a channel that is part of the Warner Bros. Discovery group.
There have been issues lately with TVE Discovery channels due to a change in their infrastructure on their side. The Channels DVR developers are working on it.

Discovery channel droputs?

I've been able to identify the issue here and this new encoder platform/ad insertion platform that is being used for some of these Discovery channels is creating some nonsensical feeds where the audio and video timestamps don't match up and aren't synchronized in how the HLS spec specifies them to be. It's going to require a lot more work and engineering to fix these situations and I'm not sure how quickly that will be done. We'll keep you updated as we progress.
