Channels get HTTP error 403 Forbidden

Just installed Couch Potato, and some channels are not playing with the following error

HTTP error 403 Forbidden I cleared cache, and did IPTV reset, but still the same

I am running KODI 16.1 on a Linux system

What is a lot? If a channel is down when you attempt to access it, that is the error you will receive. However, if this happens with all channels that require authentication, most likely you are not configured correctly or your account is inactive/expired/invalid. On another note, if your provider was blocking certain channels ( i.e., premium content), the error would also arise.

Sorry, overreacted... About 6 of my favorite daily use channels. Haven't tried more. Started when I moved from Stalker Lite to Potato TV.

Now finding channels that worked a few days ago are now coming up with this error.

It appears that the service issues this message when you try to play a channel that is down.
