What happened with USA OTA stations?

[Time-Pare]

Last month i was able to watch channels like ABC, CBS, FOX or NBC from around 20 cities on the US Playlist but now only geo-restricted or news are available, do you know what happened to those channels and is there a way to find a place to watch them from Canada?

Have you tried using a VPN service?

Yes i tried with a VPN but i only was able to see replay of newscast with Kodi, those channels were just removed but i was able to find them in the archives of the stream folder from mid august and i use this playlist since then.

As of this morning, I was still able to watch NBC, on WCAU-DT1 , CBS on WCBS-DT1, and Fox on WNYW-DT1.
The ABC feed is gone for a month or more now. I am in Canada, and I don't use any VPN. But you are right, there used to be a lot more full US locals. All the stations that had DT1 after their calling letters. Now, it's mostly just the news versions.

I believe you're talking about the LocalBTV channels. They should be online as we speak.

No, it was around 90 channels with an ip starting by 51. but they seem to be all offline since the last sunday. Also, thanks, local BTV seems to work great for me after trying it on Kodi,

Ah this host, yeah it seems this one comes and goes with a certain insecurity.
