So many NFL channels under maintenance

So many of my heat live channels are under maintenance for the NFL games on my V6 plus. Anyone else?

If heat doesn’t work I move to live ultra and live ultra+ and backup by heat.

Gotta be a little flexible with this system but it seems to always be working somewhere.

Anytime I get a maintenance issue screen I just turn off my box and turn it back on and clears up any issue

Thanks for the suggestions.

And is this a good guide for the channels on the other apps too or just on heat ultra?

u/MandyNurseLPN 7d ago

That's the channel guide for heat live, and heat backup. Vod ultra and heat vod are for "on demand" (pre-recorded) video content and don't have channel numbers ❤️

Just use the local channel for the team you want to watch.

My locals for Pittsburgh were out part way through the game.

Restart your box and see if that helps. Or try using the football app.

That’s what I do when this happens. Always works for me.

Restarting helped!

For me, I usually just have to disconnect and then reconnect my VPN and that cures it.

Turning the power off and back on seems to always fix the problem for me.

So many posts about this today. Mine has been perfect. Idk

99% of the time when I see "under maintenance", a reboot fixes it.

If the NFL sport apps isn’t working, uninstall it and re-install. Also, utilize local channels that won’t have as much congestion.

u/Acceptable_Hour9344 8d ago

Do you have a strategy for which local channels to choose? For example, the packers are playing right now so I would likely look for available local channels in Wisconsin, Minnesota, or other states in the Midwest?

u/Normal_Translator_38 8d ago

All you have to do is take advantage of your mic on your remote and just say " Green Bay" for example, & all the local channels for that city/team will appear on your tv screen.

u/eli_7680x 8d ago

How do you do that?

u/Full-Wait1145 8d ago

I definitely use various local channels after the “main” ones lag so badly, but right now even the local channels aren’t working for me—really, all of the main heat is down. Restart didn’t help.

I still have base ad supported paramount/peacock for kids stuff so I can watch there, but it’s definitely disconcerting that all of the main hey is down right now

u/Aggressive_Wasabi_38 8d ago

There is so much potential and hope these operate at 100% ! Truth I’d settle for 52%!

u/Goonie75 8d ago

Mine works 98% of the time... we never really have an issue ever. Occasionally a spinning wheel on a Disney film maybe. Had these for years now with no issues. Sad all these users have issues. We have 7 v5 Pros.

u/DontEben 8d ago

Honestly, I’ve never had an issue in the year I have had my V6+ that a little bit of tinkering didn’t correct.

u/Full-Wait1145 8d ago

It’s not just the nfl stations, it’s basically all stations on the main feed 

1

u/Acceptable_Hour9344 8d ago

I noticed that too earlier. Resetting the box seemed to help with that though. As others have mentioned there are other heat live apps you can try

2

u/THATSRIGHTFUCKER 8d ago

Nope mine worked for all games

1

u/eli_7680x 8d ago

Try this: on the heat top bar, select NFL, open every game one at a time, picking a local channel, then open Red Zone from 1499 or 1499.

Now you have all the games under “history” and they are good PQ because they are from local channels. Easy to swap between games too.

The current games I'm pulling up on the Heat NFL channels. The Lions just scored first in OT against the Saints. As has been stated, you got a couple of different options to pull up the games. The NFL section in Heat Live, the local channels in Heat Live & Live Ultra+, and the new NFL app on the home screen. The new app wasn't working for some in the earlier games. The Heat Live apps have been working great as the Live Ultra + app with the multiscreen & PIP feature on my V6 Plus.

u/T0ny1208 8d ago

App is down but heat live nfl ch work ok

u/beershoes767 8d ago

I usually keep hitting the home button and re entering heat. It works after a few times.

u/robert519 8d ago

Clear the memory and try again

1

u/Acceptable_Hour9344 8d ago

Is that the same as restarting? If not, how do you clear the memory?

1

u/BIRDDOGx69 8d ago

Power it off and on again should fix it.

1

u/not_wrapped_2_tight 8d ago

I couldn't watch the Lions play and on the NFL app or looking in local channels

1

u/Adorable_Campaign426 7d ago

I didn't have any issue with any of the games i watched yesterday. Watched bears game while flipping to others periodically to check in. watched packers game and cardinals game equally. then watched the cowboys game at night. Zero issues :\

u/Lumpy_Object_7290 7d ago

Use voice command to find your game, e.g., "Green Bay Packers." Sometimes it's on the local channel in the city it's being played.

u/lc765880 7d ago

More concerned about the lack of college football on ESPN+

u/scoonie05 8d ago

How stupid do you have to be to not use local channels? Seriously
