ENTERTAINMENT vs CHOICE ...

Most of the time I subscribe to the ENTERTAINMENT package.  Recently I upgraded to CHOICE.  Once or twice I year I may change between the two.

My question is this.  On Cordcutters.com, I read that Directv Stream is removing A&E, LIFETIME, and HISTORY from the Entertainment package for NEW customers.  Right now I have CHOICE but want to change back to ENTERTAINMENT.  If I do, I "assume" I'll still have the above channels since I'm not a "new" customer???

Any info would be appreciated.

Good question, @janice805. Kindly check if you receive an email to opt in to continue to receive the channels by completing a linked web form. Send us a DM if you need assistance. Kenneth, DIRECTV Community Specialist

I just called Customer Service.  I apparently didn't understand.  I was just experimenting to see what Choice offered vs. Entertainment.  They said only Entertainment customers got the e-mail to Opt in to A&E, HISTORY, etc.  I was experimenting with Choice and intended to return to Entertainment.  Without the email I didn't know and now if I return (which I need to) I'm going to flat out lose some of my "must have" channels.  Dang, I've been with DTV Satellite for 25 years and DTV Stream for 2-3 yrs.  I never remember having a problem like this with Satellite.

Help.
