Missing my shows

Our contractor is doing the floors in the living room so I am staying at my mom's house this week. He disconnected our FIOS equipment and TV (as it's in the living room) and moved everything to a different floor so my shows are not being recorded. I am missing all of my shows: Fixer Upper: The Lake House, Beat Shazam, Master Chef, I Can See Your Voice, Gordon Ramsay: Uncharted.
I was able to watch the latest episode of Beat Shazam on the FOX website but that was only because I had a one hour preview pass. To watch anything else on there I need to login with my TV provider. I cannot do that because I do not know our login. And neither does hubby. And trying to sign in with Facebook didn't work either.
Tried logging in with my mom's cable provider instead but it doesn't work. I get the following message: "You have not been signed in since it appears your TV subscription does not include access to the following channel(s)." I couldn't even do that on the National Geographic website to watch Gordon Ramsay: Uncharted.
I know that my mom's Spectrum IP streaming has FOX, though not sure about National Geographic. I am guessing you have to subscribe to cable itself for it to work.
I am majorly bummed. Maybe the new episodes will get unlocked at some point and I will be able to watch them without having to sign in. Or hopefully they will be available on demand, though not sure when I will be able to bring the TV and FIOS equipment back into the living room and reconnect it.
I cannot find a way to watch Fixer Upper: The Lake House without having a subscription to Max or Discovery+. Not sure how I will be able to watch that. Not sure if episodes are available on demand. But maybe they will re-air them.

There's nothing worse than missing episodes of your favorite shows. I'm also a big fan of Fixer Upper: Lake House.

@lovebuglena You are going to have to do some serious binge watching in order to get through all those seasons of NCIS! Good luck with that.

@moffittjc I am living at my mom's for the past two weeks so have not been able to start watching season 4.

My mom has Roku. I am not sure if it was through the Spectrum app on there or through something else but I managed to watch Fixer Upper: The Lakehouse and Gordon Ramsay: Uncharted.
The FOX shows, I watched Beat Shazam on a laptop and Master Chef on a tablet, which had a preview pass because it's a different device. And then clearing cookies and cache from the tablet gave me a preview pass again so I was able to watch Name That Tune. I cleared cookies and cache again so I can watch I Can See Your Voice but turned out no more episodes of this show to watch. Seems I am all caught up.
The only thing I have to figure out now is how to continue binge watching NCIS as the first eleven seasons will be gone from Netflix end of June. I was only able to watch the first three seasons so far.

If you use the website or app to pay your bill, that would be your login. Secondly, yes, you need to have a subscription to certian channels in your cable bundle to watch certian shows. You can use this in max, discovery plus, or any other cable channel, if you've been using it previously.

@lovebuglena That is strange. Fox is considered "local" news so I don't see why it was giving you errors. It shouldn't have.

@kaylachan It worked when my mom had regular cable from Spectrum. Maybe if you have IP streaming that's different.

I was logging in with my Spectrum account and though the log in was correct it wouldn't let me watch stuff. I found that weird because Spectrum IP streaming has the FOX channel as far as I know. But I found a way around it for my FOX shows.
After using up my preview pass on my mom's laptop I went on to her tablet and had a preview pass there. And then it hit me to try and clear the cookies/cache and after doing that that gave me a free pass again on the tablet.

I was hoping you could find a free app or something that has the shows you watch on them. I think Philo has HGTV on it but it is $25 a month. Could you find any on YouTube?

My mom has Roku so that helped with some of the shows.

Yeah it's frustrating when you can't watch your favorite shows.

I'm sorry you're missing all your shows. I know of a movie The Lake House with Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock. Good movie. Is this a series? Have a good day.

That was a good movie. I remember seeing it a few times.
Remember the show Fixer Upper with Joanna and Chip Gaines. They had some other Fixer Upper shows since that one. Fixer Upper: Welcome Home, Fixer Upper: The Castle, Fixer Upper: The Hotel. And the latest one is Fixer Upper: The Lakehouse.
Turns out they already sold the lakehouse they remodeled.

One of my friends is an HGTV addict. She never misses her shows. She decorates, then re-decorates, then again...oh, and again...

I've never really watched that channel much, except when Fixer Upper was on.

I just can't get in to it at all...and so many of the shows is still everything gray, and everything farmhouse, and tons of signs. Signs, everywhere. Enough already..and I am so, so tired of the color gray.

Luckily, I finally was able to watch everything it seems. Now I have to figure out how to continue watching NCIS.

No wonder you are majorly bummed. Maybe you'll find some interesting new shows to watch until you get back home.

I was able to find way to watch all my shows. One of them turned out didn't even have an episode this week as the last episode was the season finale.

So far I have been able to not miss anything. Hopefully, that continues until we can hook our fios tv back up.
