Live TV (via HDHomeRun) works on all channels except PBS

Server Version#: Synology NAS ver 1.32.8.7639-6000
Player Version#: 5.75.1
Xbox platform: 10.0.25398.2923
Network connection is hardwired Gigabit ethernet both on the Synology NAS, the HD Homerun Flex dual tuner box and on the Xbox.

All 58 of my OTA channels playback perfectly EXCEPT PBS. I had troubles with PBS on my other clients - Chrome player and Plex App (windows 10) and both basically erred out right away with an end of stream message. I found some useful tips on Reddit and in Debug settings on these two clients I could change to get PBS working. On Chrome I had to go to Settings / Debug and enable " Use alternate streaming protocol for video playback". Then it worked. On Plex App for Windows it also initially did not play PBS stream and I made some changes in Settings that I can’t find any more (no help sorry!).
On the Xbox settings there are no equivalent settings to the windows and chrome clients. The Xbox client just continues to buffer for 5 minutes and then pops up “An unexpected error occurred”. I don’t understand why PBS would have an issue if none of the other live OTA streams have issues. I’d love to get the Xbox client working.
For now as a workaround, I installed HDHomerun on the Xbox and it works just fine with PBS.
Any ideas?
