Having problems watching Newsmax live on my phone and tablet, I can only watch on my TV.

Unable to watch Newsmax live TV on my smart phone and tablet, can only watch on home TV. The Newsmax  channel is missing from my guide and favorite lists. Is there a way to add the missing channel to the watch on phone/tablet list?

Newsmax is included in my DirecTV package.

Thanks for the update, @Strawberry27


Let's explore options for this channel, do you get an error code or message when you tune on your TV screen or your mobile devices?

No error message. 

I can get the Newsmax channel on TV screen alright. But the issue is only when I try to watch on my phone/tablet. Not listed in the watch list.
