To add a channel on DIRECTV, you typically need to either subscribe to a package that includes that channel or purchase the channel as an individual add-on (if available). Here’s how you can go about it:
1. Log in to Your DIRECTV Account:
– Go to the DIRECTV website or use the DIRECTV app.
– Sign in with your account credentials.
2. Review Your Current Subscription:
– Check your current TV package to see if the channel you’re looking for is already available or if it’s included in a different package tier.
3. Change Your Package:
– If the channel is not in your current package, consider upgrading or changing to a package that includes it.
– Navigate to the “Packages” or “Upgrade” section of your DIRECTV account.
– Select the new package that includes the channel you’re interested in.
4. Add a Premium Channel (If Applicable):
– Some channels, like HBO, Showtime, or Cinemax, can be added individually as premium channel subscriptions.
– Visit the “Add Channels” section in your account, look for premium channels, and select the ones you wish to add.
5. Call DIRECTV Customer Support:
– If you’re having trouble or want assistance in adding a channel, you can call DIRECTV customer support at 1-800-531-5000 (for U.S. customers). They can help you add the channel to your package or provide alternatives.
6. Use the DIRECTV App or Remote:
– Once the channel is added to your subscription, you can find it by browsing through your channel lineup on the DIRECTV app or using your remote to search for it.
Please note that some channels may be available only in certain regions or may require additional equipment or subscriptions.
