Unable to connect FS1 with Sling

Annual resubscribe to Sling for NASCAR. When I cancelled last year, I forgot to remove FS1 from my Sling source. Signed up yesterday, removed, and went to re-add and I get the "not entitled: mvpd: Resource is not supported by MVPD" error.
I can sign into the Fox sports website with my Sling credentials, and was able to connect FX, Fox News, etc. with Channels, but with FS1 I get the: "not entitled: mvpd: Resource is not supported by MVPD" error. This is from multiple rescans over the last 12 hours. I might just be impatient but thought I would check and see if others have the issue.

I had this issue/error over the weekend, although I don't know when it started. I first noticed it Saturday, and it was still doing it on Sunday morning. FS1 and FS2 were both showing that error, but I could watch through the website and Fox Sports app. Later in the day yesterday, I was going to remove and re-add the source (which is TVE through my local cable provider), but I tried it once more first and both channels were working. However... having noticed your post, I just checked it again right now, and it's showing the same error for both channels. The B1G network works fine and had no issues over the weekend, and I think that is somehow related to Fox Sports.

One more update: After posting the above reply, I pulled the new pre-release update for Channels server, tried FS1 and FS2 and both are working again. I don't know if the update is related or just a coincidence, but the channels are working again for me right now.

It's always recommended to get the latest prerelease for TVE stuff. Just a lot more bug fixes on those versions compared to the stable version

Yes, I am on the latest pre-release (2026.01.24.1943) , but thanks for the confirmation that I just need to keep trying.
I did remove and re-add the source and got this error:

Just in case - Logs have been submitted as 9a6796ff-d074-414a-9694-8e8d63d1d002

That looks like a dns error. Do you have any ad-blockers running or ad blocking dns such as pi-hole or adguard home?

No adblockers. They seem more trouble than they are worth.
I do run Quad-9 for DNS.
For giggles, I changed the DNS over to OpenDNS for that machine and was able to re-add the Source and this time FS1 was picked up.
Odd, since I was able to sign-in to Fox sports website with the same DNS settings.
Thanks for the reminder to check DNS.
