FAST Channels added to DIRECTV Stream/Internet

[yetimizer361]

AFHV is already live on channel 4304 as of 12/17

Gotcha. Took it off my list.

Anything new expected soon?

 

[KyL416]

Hopefully the WBTV channels will go live soon, last week Gracenote finally fixed the guide data issues caused by them ingesting the schedule as UTC instead of ET.

 

[yetimizer361]

Any idea what is holding up the Filmrise channels?

 

[KyL416]

FilmRise might be a waiting for the i's to be dotted and t's to be crossed thing as this is the first time they are picking up some of their FAST channels.

 

[KyL416]

4113 MLBFAST will finally go live this week

EDIT: It's now live

 

[KyL416]

Theoretically, these streams are available from each station's website.

Roku and perhaps Amazon Prime deliver may of them as well.

The API has them geoblocked to their respective DMAs, similar to what Samsung TV+, LG Channels, Plex and some others do with the local news streams, and what Pluto does with the FOX Local, NBC and city specific WeatherNation streams.
