Google Assistant Voice Command for SNY

Has anyone gotten the Google Assistant Voice Command to change the channel to SNY (SportsNet New York), channel 639.

I can say channel 639 and it works, but saying SNY, SportsNet New York, SportsNet NY, etc etc doesn't work. 
All other stations I have no issues with.

Hi @oreobuckshot2022. Since your other channels are working perfectly by name, it sounds like the system is having a highly localized issue mapping the text 'SNY' or 'SportsNet New York' to channel 639. 

 

As a quick test to see how the system reacts, try saying 'Tune to SportsNet New York' or 'Switch to SNY.' Sometimes adding a direct action word forces the software to look directly at the guide data instead of getting stuck. Kenneth, DIRECTV Community Team

I tried all various combinations, "Tune to", "Switch to", "Watch".  Also added the word "channel" to the end, etc. etc.  Still no luck.
