Channels disappeared and channels say: Content blocked

For several hours channels were not listed ( CNN and NBC) now that they are listed again CNN says: channel blocked due to content and NBC says: network issue try again later. What is going on?

Just tried it on my wife's iPad and both channels work OK. Also fine on my Samsung Android tablet. Make sure your iPad DirecTV app is up to date and your iPad software is the most current version. If that doesn't work try turning off your iPad, then start it again. It acts like a local issue with your iPad.

Does it do the same thing on other local stations (ABC, CBS or FOX) or local sports networks?

No problems here with either channel, on my DirecTV Stream box, Roku or Fire Stick. Try rebooting what ever device you are using.

thanks - I have tried that. On my TV, no issue. It's just on the app trying to watch on iPad. At least now both NBC and CNN show up as channels - just can't watch either of them. Clearly some technical issue on the DTV side.

yes - and the channels returned, in full, a couple of hours ago. I didn't do anything - channels were just back. Weird
