Forged In Fire Not Being Shown

The History Channel carries the show, not U-Verse. What U-Verse carries is The History Channel. So U-Verse only gets what the channel sends them, like any other TV provider.

Interesting, so based on what you say, The History Channel is not sending the program to UVERSE even though you can see all the episodes on HistoryChannel.com if you log in with your UVERSE Id, bummer.

The website and broadcast channel are not guaranteed to have the same content. Many channels will have exclusive content on their own website that is not sent on the broadcast to a TV provider.

Think of the website as more of a library to pick and choose (similar to On Demand). And even logging in with a TV provider's credentials might not get everything they have on the site, depending on carriage agreements as well as if the specific site has their own paid streaming option.

Juniper is right. I can watch thousands of titles on Max, some of which have never been seen on HBO.

It's the same with the ESPN app. During big events, they'll "Multicast" various sports. There's certain presentations on there that aren't on "regular" TV channels.
