Determine if Channel is Live

It seems this API is overly complicated for a simple task such as seeing if a particular channel is online or offline which was simple and easy to do with previous API versions.

I will have to research to see how to add a header in a VB.NET WebClient as I am getting a ‘Received an unexpected EOF or 0 bytes from the transport stream’ error message in the code I have tried so far.
