Channels Missing on DIRECTV App.

My DIRECTV app on my iPhone has all my channels available including local stations. DIRECTV app on my iPad does not have ABC, CBS, or NBC (plus others) available to watch. Both connected to wireless internet on my home network. Why the difference and how do I fix?

Deleted the app multiple times and reinstalled with hard restarts of my iPad in between.

I also tried downloading and installing the iPhone version of the app on my iPad and it also has the same issue with missing channels. Again, all channels are available on my phone.

You are suggesting changing my DirecTV.com password and then re-logging into the app with the new password?

Unfortunately, that did not work.

Logged out of DirecTV as cable provider on iPad and deleted app.

Logged into DirecTV.com and changed password.

Set DirecTV as cable provider on iPad.

Downloaded DirecTV app for iPad.

Opened app.....same situation, same channels missing.

Bingo,

Not sure when it became unregistered. I’ve used it frequently in the past with no problems. Maybe with the iPadOS update.

Anyhow, thank you for helping me figure this out!
