Freeviews March/April 2020

I noticed the Hd Extra Pack is on, but for one Hallmark Channel. Been watching Smithsonian this morning. Anyone else see these channels activated?

 

Complete list of Freeviews from AT&T's COVID-19 response page which also includes other information like what they are doing for customers at retail, FirstNet, Employees overall (like call centers, etc.) DirecTV in US & Latin America, etc.

I just noticed HD Extra Pack is on too. I can always tell because my autorecord for Epic.Awesome.Videos started recording again around midnight this morning.

 

I also noticed this morning that the HD Extra Pack is lit up and working on my receivers and there has been no notification about a freeview of these channels. Maybe DIRECTV is opening them up because so many people have to stay home for a while.

 

They are making a lot of channels normally in higher packages free during the COVID-19 pandemic I copied & pasted the info from their COVID-19 page above and all the Movies Extra Pack channels are included in this.

 

wow, thanks for this update!

 

Why not just turn all of these on now?

 

I would assume it’s up to the channel owners

 

a lot of the channels in the 400s are also turned on now as well.

 

Also kind of weird that 567 and 572 are grayed out in my guide but they are working when I click on them. 564 is grayed out too, but get a x721 on it.

 

MGM is grayed out and doesn't show up in "Channels I Receive", but it does work. Sony and HDNet do show up and are not grayed. I assume it's just a programming update that hasn't hit yet.

Of course, every time I hit pause and 5 seconds later it goes the AT&T propaganda screen or worse, the Charmin commercial, it reminds me that after 20-some years, I really need to drop DirecTV.

 

Peace Out!

 

Dogtv channel 562 is on!

 

That was on last Saturday also when I searched. I forgot to share that earlier.

 

I would like to see sports pack turned on also. I know their is no live sports but their are repeats on.

 

I have the Sports Pack. Many of those Replays are Blacked Out & Not Available to you if you are out of Market for whatever Replay an RSN is showing. In fact I have always had the Sports Pack & have been paying for it but I am thinking of canceling it because I really only need it for Baseball Season. But even then I am thinking of getting rid of it because much of the content is becoming blacked out on it.
