Channel Changes?

I received a postcard in the mail that informs me that Directv will be deleting A&E, History, Lifetime, and Vice channels on 12/08/21.

Has anyone heard of this or received this postcard? The postcard also states that I can continue to have these channels if I "opt in" by going to this address:

directv.com/channel-opt-in

Has anyone else seen this postcard or heard of these changes to the channel line-up?

I have the Entertainment package.

YES.   I got the postcard, too, and all the info you said above.  NOW I need to know where to go to opt in and save the channels at no cost.

I have the same postcard.  Can't get into Direct TV or At&T to Opt in.

User ID and password errors, can't get either one reset.  I need these channels and can't sit on the phone for hours waiting for someone to get answer the phone.  Any other options?

I received the same postcard.  I can't get into direct tv to Opt In. Tried resetting user id and password and the screen flips between AT&T and Direct TV.  Neither one works.  The bill is high enough already without losing channels.  I can't sit on the phone for hours waiting for Direct TV or AT&T to pick up and answer the phone.
