Unable to tune Pluto CNN Headlines channel

[mikesalz]

I have been unable to tune the Pluto CNN Headlines channel for some time now. Most or all of my other Pluto channels work. And I am able to tune this channel directly on the Pluto website. Error from Channels log below.

Looking at the JS code, there isn't anything going on there that could cause that. It appears that PlutoTV is sending through a DRM'd channel in their API.

If I click on that link in a browser, it returns: Blacklisted Channel Via V1 HLS
