I only know about this because of DnD Shorts bringing it up and he was asking why it's so hard to find a way to watch this. Hasbro, WTF guys?

Does anyone know if these shows are actually airing? I can't even find them online anywhere... I went to the Freevee section of Amazon Prime Video (I guess Freevee doesn't have its own player and is just a category on Amazon Prime), and there's no search function just for Freevee content, and searching "Dungeons and Dragons" in the search bar just links to the D&D movies and shows in the regular Prime Video categories. I even went to the Freevee section and manually scrolled through all the live channels to look for the D&D channel, but I couldn't find it.
That is the listing *place* -- but there is no way to provide a direct link to the channel that I have found so far. I've sorta looked (I wanted to add a link to my blog),
The channel is not like a "pick this show and watch it" -- it is old style TV, lol so it runs all the time and you have to look for when it is.
Much of this is not the work of WotC -- it is how Amazon operates their freevee service.
Yeah, neither of those URLs take me to the actual channel lol
It's interesting to look through Freevee, which seems to largely just be a repository of old re-runs played indefinitely. I don't know why any company would produce original content for Freevee... not just D&D, anything, really. Maybe someone at Amazon had the idea to try and create more content for Freevee at one point, but in the time it took to actually create these shows the decision was made to just let any original content die and leave Freevee as cheap rerun programming. I think the only hope any of these shows have is if they get moved to Youtube or just get released as regular Amazon Prime videos.
Who's going to dig through Freevee to find a channel that cannot be directly linked to in order to watch a weekly series?
Why are these programs being treated so badly?? FreeTV?? Plex?? Who even uses these? And they can only be watched when they are livescheduled?? Whose bonehead idea was this?? Why aren't they just on VOD on their Twitch channel or on YT, where they have a CHANCE of getting viewed? I managed to catch a couple of VOD episodes of Purple Worm before they inexplicably became "scheduled only", and it's a good show. Too bad Hasbro is screwing this up badly. If I were the producers and performers of these shows I would be very, very angry.
Personally, I'm not going to work as hard as they seem to want me to in order to see this content, which is too bad. There's plenty of other content that's far, far, easier to get to. These possibly good shows are simply going to die because D&D/Hasbro hasn't a clue who their audience is.

The only reason I actually know about it is from Chef Mike who's hosting the Heroes' Feast show
Why is this buried on the 2nd page of the forum and hot prominently?

apparently they worked as hard on the technology for this tv channel thing as they have for dndbeyond lately.

So, i've watched a couple of things on it.
First, it is only through Amazon Prime, and is a "live TV" option only, so you have to look throught he FreeVee options under live tv.

Pulling up the "livestream" that is active when I turn it on, I get this link: https://www.amazon.com/gp/video/storefront/ref=atv_hm_liv_LR4f4b5f_slct?contentType=home&contentId=live&serviceToken=eyJ0eXBlIjoiZmlsdGVyIiwibmF2Ijp0cnVlLCJzZWMiOm51bGwsInByaWQiOm51bGwsInJ0IjpudWxsLCJmaWx0ZXIiOnsibGluZWFyRmlsdGVyIjpbImFtem4xLXB2LWxpbmVhci1saXZlX3RhYi1maWx0ZXItYWxsIl19LCJyYW5rIjpudWxsLCJvZmZzZXQiOjAsIm5wc2kiOjAsIm9yZXEiOiJkOTExMTY2MS0wMzhlLTQwYTEtOGJmOC1mOGU2YmIwZTM2MDA6MTcwMTExODgwMzAwMCIsImFwTWF4IjpudWxsLCJvcmVxayI6IkxpNitvL2dzaDBoR0NjVGdhVGdLTHptYkF6dHpuZ29zb2VJMDZ6YWhmZEk9Iiwib3JlcWt2IjoxLCJkZHB0IjpudWxsfQ==
