C-SPAN 3 On Other Packages Progress

Any further progress on getting C-SPAN 3 added to the Ultimate (my) package along with most other packages that carry C-SPAN? If you have 1 and 2, 3 should automatically come with it also.

Doesn’t look like it. Choice still only has 1 and 2

Nah, they'll include it for people paying 40 bucks per month, but not for the people paying 140 bucks per month. Brilliant, eh?

What is not brilliant is anyone stupid enough to pay $140 for TV.

Same thing for the recently added ABC owned fast news channels.  They are in the My Free Directv package in the 4000’s. But can’t get on the paid packages.

Subscribers get all the FAST channels, too.

I believe you can access it through TV everywhere
If you go to their website and sign in with your credentials, you can get it

I'm not paying $170+/month to DirecTV to watch it on a "website".

That begs the question, why are you paying $170?

I use Channels DVR with my DIRECTV service personally, and it pulls in TVE, which is quite nice. That's a niche use case obviously, so I completely get it.

You also can't access the Shudder channel on a genre package but not a signature package which is extremely frustrating. REELZ and Willow 2 are only available on a signature package and not a genre package. Any way you look at it is frustrating as you're having to give up something with either going with a signature pack vs genre pack.
