Directv 4k ch 105 and 106

Got a 4k receiver to watch 4k on my 4k TV, channel 104 comes in great but the other 4k channels (105 - 106) always tells me that I have to subscribe (721 error) I reset my receiver and called support but seem as if No one has answers.  I know if the game is blacked out this can happen but I'm 3 months in and have yet to see any 4k programing on 105-106.  Is this normal? I'm in the South Jersey area, is anyone in this area experiencing these issues?  Any feedback/help that anyone may be aware of I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks

Hello, JowJow, we want you to enjoy all your programming. There are some reasons related to this error message. It can be about your package, those channels are not included. In another way, they should display the programming for events. However, these channels are Pay Per View. I suggest you complete this troubleshooting in the following link Get help with DIRECTV error 721 | DIRECTV Customer Service & Support. Claudia, DIRECTV Community Specialist

I should have access, channel 104, 105 and 106 are 4k channels offered.  I can receive channel 104 but have yet to see any content on 105 and 106

I’m in Bergen County, NJ and no one here is having the issues you are experiencing. Anyway, this sort of error 721 is linked to your equipment as if it were everyone then the entire US would have an issue as all content is delivered to us customers the same, over satellite.

What is the Genie receiver model? What programming package do you have and does 4K service show up as a service online at directv.com under “My Package”?

Have you tried the regular red button reset of the C61K receiver (4K) and the main Genie receiver?

I have the HS17-100 and the C61K, I have the choice Plan but im not seeing anything that says 4k under "My Package" but as stated I am getting 4k channel 104.  tried resetting, tried refresh and called it in but nothing.  the other issue was the refresh, after i did that I no longer see all my channels in the directv app or logging in online selecting Watch NOW, i only see roughly 12 channels locals and my HBO.  im so frustrated with directv, this is crazy.  I have a call in with hem about the app but nothing yet.

What do you mean by non-chargable line item?

I too was perplexed to not get 105 and 106.   I spoke to Directv support and they (like DIRECTVhelp above) said that 105 and 106 are pay per view.  So you get only one free 4K channel on directv.  Is this new ?  The guide doesn't say they are pay per view.

They also said that the 721 error code just means that there was no program on the channel and that the guide was wrong to say there was baseball game.  Seems weird.

Makes me kind regret upgrading to HS17.
