Some channels don't play...

I'll chime in with another 'thank you!' for this app-
I have the HDHR Prime that I'm using with this app that I bought yesterday. Once I had MrMC configured to use the HDHR the TV section showed up and the guide worked perfectly. So I selected cartoon network to watch and got the buffering message... and nothing. Stuck on 0%.
So it looks like everything is working, but no show playing. Did the old quit the app and run it again trick, no joy.
Just to confirm that CN was still on I loaded up the Channels app (3x the price, 1/10th the functionality!) that I already had and confirmed CN was on. It was.
Then I went back to MrMC and tried a few other channels. The next channel lower in my guide didn't work, but the next channel up from CN did work. Of all the channels I tried CN and the one below it, sorry that I don't remember what it was, were the only two that didn't want to work.
I'm on CableOne all digital with a cablecard and CN is 1318 (HD version) if that info helps. I suppose I can dig up the streaming info from HDHR Config on my iMac if it's needed for trouble shooting.
Is it safe to assume that there isn't a setting I'm missing that allows CN to play? Ha! Does the app know I'm closing in on 50 years old and assume I shouldn't be watching cartoons?
Any suggestions are appreciated. I have Kodi running on my iMac so I thought this app would be a logical next step to have on my iOS and tvOS stuff. So far I haven't gotten the iOS device App set up to see if it works in the same manner.

EDIT- Just tried the same channels with the same configuration on an iMac using Kodi. Guess what?! Those channels aren't playing properly there either. I've been using the TVJunkieMod (a video plug-in that is unavailable to MrMC because its on tvOS) to watch / record things using Kodi on the iMac so I didn't notice this happening using the PVRHDHomerun TV plug-in on the desktop.
SO, MrMC port has the same behavior as the current Kodi release I guess!
