The CW and Paramount + Missing

I am a DirecTV Stream user and up until a couple of weeks ago, I was able to get the CW and Paramount. They are now missing...when I do a search I get a message that says no content is available. I was able to record 1923, but that too has gone away. According to the channel line up on the DirecTV website, they are supposed to be there. Please note, I am grandfathered into the Go Big plan. Online customer service was no help at all. They said the CW was a sports channel (oh boy).

1. Paramount plus is an app separate from Dtv Stream that you pay for. It isn't a channel on Dtv Stream. 

2. I don't think Dtv Stream has CW local channel available in any local market. However, CW content is avaiable for free on demand with Dtv Stream. You can also use the CW app for free.

1923 aired its premier episode on the regular Paramount Network. But additional episodes require a subscription to the Paramount Plus streaming app.

Thanks for both of your responses. However, I’ve been with DIRECTV stream before it was DIRECTV. It was AT&T. I have always been able to get the CW so not sure what is happening with that channel. It is listed on the channel lineup. I am not looking for live TV. Just want to watch shows on demand which I am now watching using the CW app it’s just weird that all of this is changed over the last couple of weeks and I feel like there’s been no notification.

CW isn't listed as one of your locals channels. Did you used to have Dtv Satellite and maybe confusing the two services?

i have never watched the live/local channel. My shows were watched using the on demand feature. I have always had the streaming service.

Your live channels and OnDemand channels are different. As you've discovered, you need to use the CW App to view their programs.

You said in your original post--or insinuated---it was channels you lost.

Thanks to everyone for chiming in. I think we can put this one to bed.
