Weather Channel down

Anyone looking for the Weather Channel:

Looks like it’s going to be out of commission for a while. Once they finish their work the Devs will likely have to update the DVR to work with the changes.

That coming soon page has been up for over a year now all the while channels had a live stream. It's nothing new at all.

Well the weather channel has been fixed. Whatever the problem was it's working again.

Thanks for the heads up
The Weather Channel 6094 is now working again. Watching Weird Earth right now.
When did this channel come back to life?

its broken again

Are we waiting for The Weather Channel to fix this on their end?

Didn't i just post that in the post directly above yours...yes...i did. lol

I got a response back from them using the send them an email page i found. not usefull

"We appreciate you contacting our support. We have found no issues with The Weather Channel Live TV feed. We suggest contacting your Cable TV provider for support".

So I guess that means it will remain down as no one is working to fix it. It appears that everyone thinks it’s somebody else’s problem.

What's that link for? So it plays a stream...if that is the fix a url change than it should be put in channels no?

That's an official stream link, even though I'm not sure it's actually accessible via the official TVE page. If you can't wait for the The Weather Channel's devs, I'd just add that link as a custom channel for now.

Seems to be working fine now

Thanks to whoever fixed this.

Yep. It’s back up now. Now if we can just get WeatherNation back up and running.

wait,,,WHAT? they have a free stream link??

I thought you could only get access to that channel via a cable tv provider subscription, and most often in a mid range or higher tier package.
Or other wise from a IPTV service.

And yes, can confirm, the channel is working again.

When Channels first started TVE, the stream was free. Don't think it is anymore

Yes, TVE streams are only supposed to be accessible to subscribers but some TVE streams aren't as protected as others and people sniff out the URLs. The URL could change at any time or become protected.

Just updated to the latest pre-release to try to fix The Weather Channel. Now it's missing from the TVE list. Is Weather Channel not a TVE channel anymore? Thanks.
