All of a sudden today Comcast/xfinity has begun to throw a dialog box "please connect to your wifi due to licensing issues" when attempting to stream Newsmax 1115.
Problem is, I'm already on a home hardwired network with a router.
Is there some pizzing contest going on between Comcast and Newsmax....or is this the opening salvo of The Empire Strikes back?
We dropped Direct TV for Dish over Direct TV fighting with NewsMax and not carrying NewsMax.
Rumble only has Newsmax 2, although some channels on there carry the Fox News live stream.
We have DirecTV. Newsmax is channel 349. I do recall a few years ago when there was an issue. We’re committed to about 6 more months with them and then will cancel. Almost all we watch we can get on Fubo.
Use a VPN and they can’t do that.
Yes, Direct TV settled on fees with News Max and started carrying News Max again. But we had already told Direct TV to kiss off.

Doesn’t make sense. WiFi and hardware both go to your router and then converted to Comcast compatible signal.
Xfinity also blocking the SEC network and TCM if you are trying to connect away from home.
“Use a VPN and they can’t do that.”
If you hide your IP you won’t get in.
Comcast is my internet provider. I just connected to Newsmax, no problem.
Working fine again...I have reason to believe that there had been attempted hack or hijack of my account.
