The owner of this content has restricted its streaming availability
Have shows from the CW channel on my DVR and when I go to watch the recordings, this message pops up. The error code in the bottom right hand corner is: 30002-018. Two weeks ago I could watch this content on my DVR but now all of a sudden this message pops up. What does it mean and is there anything I can do to fix this? Thank you!!

Some content providers are restricting streaming options for certain things. TV providers have no say on that. And then certain local affiliate owners are going through carriage negotiations.
To check if you are affected by carriage agreement, what is your zip?

This could be the reason why you are having an issue with your CW channel.
DIRECTV Says Nexstar Has Expanded Blackout to More Stations
By Phillip Swann
The TV Answer Man –@tvanswerman
DIRECTV has charged in a letter to the Federal Communications Commission that Nexstar has forced 21 Sinclair-owned CW affiliates to deny their signals to DIRECTV Stream as part of an ongoing carriage dispute between Nexstar and DIRECTV.
“Last week, it expanded this blackout to include CW network programming on Sinclair-owned and managed local stations on DIRECTV’s streaming service,” the letter says. “It has, in other words, dragged into its dispute new viewers of a competing broadcaster against their will and regardless of DIRECTV’s agreements to serve these viewers.”
Nexstar, a majority owner of The CW, issued a statement saying the allegation is “without merit.” However, DIRECTV says it was forced to remove the CW signals from DIRECTV Stream on July 12. You can see a list of Sinclair-owned CW stations here..
DIRECTV on July 2 lost 159 Nexstar-owned local stations when the two companies could not reach a new carriage agreement. The impasse includes network affiliates for ABC, CBS, Fox, NBC, and The CW.
