Nat Geo Wild Channel Access

Maybe I'm missing something but is there a way to add a channel (like Nat Geo Wild) without upgrading to a different, more expensive package? We currently have the Entertainment channel package which offers everything we want EXCEPT for Nat Geo Wild. It appears that channel is only available with the Ultimate and Premier packages.

It seems ridiculous to pay an additional $40 per month to get one additional channel.

Guess that they do not offer a stand-alone subscription.

I see you can get most of the content of Nat Geo Wild with a Disney+ subscription. You might check the service out.

Nope. You can not add single channels. All streaming and cable services are like this. If you have a specific channel you require, then it may be best to investigate other options to obtain your needs. 

Perhaps you might look into the app to see if they offer a subscription service, which would be a lot cheaper than swapping packages.

Thank you for your response. We are new to streaming so I wanted to make sure we weren't missing something.

I did try to subscribe to the Nat Geo app directly but it points you to a service/streaming provider which took me right back to where I started :-)

I'll take another look at Disney+. I read on another blog that Disney+ recently stopped streaming Nat Geo Wild programs.

Please bring back "The Incredible Dr. Pol"! I have enjoyed it so much and would watch it every day if it played every day.  I think it's a big mistake to cancel this series. 

Sincerely,

DirecTV does not cancel anything. Content is controlled by the broadcaster.

I apologize for my ignorance in requesting that you not cancel "Dr. Pol".  Can you give me a contact # or address through which I can effectively make that request?  Thank you.   -  Shirley Schill
