Using FiOS creds, confirmed they still work to watch on ABC's website. Updated Channels to the latest pre-release and re-scanned three times. I primarily rely on an antenna for local networks, but ABC is often spotty so I fail back to the cable channel through TVE if necessary. Now it's just gone. Local CBS and Fox are working with local networks via TVE enabled in advanced settings.
No issues viewing WABC via TVE for me in the New York market (physically located in Westchester, if that is relevant). Although normally we do this via CableCard — are you in a market where that's no longer offered?
Would recommend you submit diagnostics from the DVR if you haven't already, so the developers can look at your logs.
What version?
I'm having the same issue with sling.T v and I can log on the website with my slink tv credentials

@nriley I'd be incredibly surprised if broadcast ABC was no longer available on FiOS. I would need to check with my parents as I'm using their credentials. This is the beginning of the log for my last full channel re-scan:
2025/02/15 13:02:11.948056 [TVE] Channel scan starting for 155 channels on Verizon
2025/02/15 13:02:12.227110 [TVE] Channel scan 1/155 ABC failed: abcgo: 1037:Unable to retrieve required files for playback. Please try again in a few minutes.
I meant "CableCards are no longer offered" not "WABC is no longer offered". Sounds like you are trying to use TVE from somewhere other than the location where the Fios connection is provided, so this is not relevant.
Diagnostics would still likely be useful.
Ah gotcha. Yea, I've never used cablecards. I'm logging in from a different location, but am in the same media market as my parents
I'm not sure what other diagnostics to provide besides the log entry stating it fails to scan ABC tbh
DVR diagnostics are available in the DVR web admin UI
Support > Troubleshooting
I thought there'd be an option to download the diagnostic logs to provide here but it sent them to support. I emailed support with the diagnostics reference number and a link to this post.
Any idea what it is? Have there been rumblings of ABC pulling out of TVE like NBC did?
Not to my knowledge.
WABC is working for me with my DirecTV credentials in Channels DVR.
Funny thing is that I'm not directly in the NY market, I'm in Fairfield county, CT. Per the FCC, my "local channels" are the ones from NYC. It's always been this way since the very first day I got DirecTV.
It suddenly came back. Idk what happened.
You are in the NY market. Fairfield County always has been. I know, I live here too.
