After a quick scan here I see a few topics where people have lost TVE channels, but a lot of them seem random. For the last month or more, maybe to mid or late December, I keep losing Discovery owned channels on TVE. They still show in the guide, but when I try to tune to them, the channel doesn't start playing and I get an error.
When I get on my server and look at the channel list they usually have an error 400 or 402, and the only way to recover the channels is to delete the TVE "tuner" and add it again. Just doing a channel scan doesn't fix the problem.
It's happening a couple times a week at least. I don't know for sure because I don't watch these channels every day, and honestly I only use TVE for them because my cable company has most of them DRMed so I can't get them with my cablecard. It's kind of annoying to try to watch something and then find out the channel has been lost again and have to go to my office and drop and re-add the TVE tuner. By the time I've done that, the show is half way over. Even more annoying when I set something to record only to get a failed recording because the channel has gotten dropped again.
Don't get me wrong, I love Channels, and I think what they are doing is great! I have Plex with a lifetime pass that I bought before I had my tuners because they were having a sale on the price and I knew I was going to try it eventually. Then I found out how bad their live TV is once I got around to getting tuners.
So does anyone have any ideas why this is happening? Other than this one problem, I think everything else is great!
