What is going on?

Basically what the title says. Got sling tv to watch the games, we’ve been in a small town for a couple days for the holiday and up until yesterday night everything was fine. Now the games aren’t showing on the app at all. We’ve just been watching on our phones/ipad. Very frustrating to pay for something for a specific purpose and then not have access to it. Anyone know what’s causing this?

I've had the Sling app for years and my home theater processor has always been able to up-convert it to Dolby with a dedicated center channel.

Yesterday, it stopped and is only playing 5.0 surround with no center channel. Tried a different Apple TV and its the same thing--no dedicated enter channel.

Did something change yesterday within the app that stops it from being able to be up-converted to 5.1?

All other apps have not changed.

EDIT: FIXED it! Make sure Continuous Audio Connection is turned OFF in ATV settings. It will sometimes turn itself on during updates.

Been using AirTv for well over a year to record local channels and it has worked great.

Recently my local news on NBC is having an issue. I set it up to record the local news which is 5:30 pm every day (note I've done New Episodes Only and also New Episodes/Reruns).

It will record one episode and then won't record anymore. The strange thing is the national news at 6 pm records the series fine.

When I setup the series recording, it shows it will record the news today but not any other day. It acts as if it doesn't understand the news each day at 5:30 pm is a series.

I figured maybe the guide was corrupt so I rescanned local channels. Same issue. I've reset the AIRTV multiple times .. Same issue.

This used to work great so I'm wondering if maybe a software update broke it. Anyway had a similar issue?

Thanks in advance!
