How to stream EWTN?

I currently have EWTN as one of the channels I can access with Spectrum. I do not see it listed as one of the options for DirectTV stream. How can I get access to this channel?

Not available on DirecTV Stream. As far as I can determine its not available on any of the internet streaming services. Only available via cable betworks.

I don't know if this will help, but they have a regular Youtube channel here https://www.youtube.com/user/EWTN

@Ludwick577  your opinion is known.  Would you please quit denigrating content that you don't like?

@KENJENNISON , most religious channels provide their own sources for streaming their content, e.g. the YouTube channel noted previously.  Noting that they typically pay to be carried on traditional carriers (DIRECTV, U-verse TV, Comcast, Spectrum, etc.), it doesn't really make sense for them to pay a streaming provider when they can just do it directly.  It's not as convenient for the viewer, but much more economical.

EWTN also has their own website that streams their live feed, and offers apps (some info on apps at the bottom) for all the common devices (I believe all the devices that DirecTV Stream supports, including the DirecTV Stream device).  The apps also provide the live stream. 

One advantage streaming has over cable or satellite is that the user is less dependent on the carrier for content - using the service also means you have both a streaming device and the needed internet service needed to run third party apps, and there are a lot of those.  Using an app is slightly less work than just accessing a channel, but not much.

@JefferMC I notice you don't call out people for denigrating OAN's content. EWTN's content is a fake and phony as OAN's. Both prey upon the gullible.

Most of your religious stations aren't available on the service itself. However, EWTN is free to download on Google play store. You can get a directv stream box and download it there as well.

That a fair point.  But I don't see the same person doing that over and over again; I'm not going to deal with one-post-wonders.  

EWTN's content is a fake and phony as OAN's. Both prey upon the gullible.

That is your opinion.  And you're entitled to it, and I do see why you say that.  However,  I say that MSNBC "prays upon the gullible" nearly as much as OANN, just preaching to a different choir, yet I don't feel it necessary to say that every time MSNBC is mentioned.  Religion is a personal decision and does not deserved to be ridiculed in public any more than a trans should be ridiculed in public for their life choices.

Full disclosure: I don't watch EWTN.  I don't watch OANN.

Yall should probably just leave the conversation at that. Getting a little out of hand.
