You would have to have the choice package or above for the NFL network or you could probably add it on but you would have to pay extra for it!

That was the only reason I stuck with Directv. After they dropped my access to nfl channel without letting me know, I’m ready to drop them. Their remaining stations like Motor trend are always reruns. Hgtv is mostly reruns or uninteresting shows. Hallmark two channels I still like, but I can pay a cheaper subscription fee. The only thing Directv has going for it is recording and replay. The value of the product keeps going down with the advent of steaming options.

DTV has no control over what a channel does with their programing.

So I should call NFL network because they were the ones who took the channel off my Directv channels. Funny last week I had it ( had it for over 3 years) and now they are telling me to order it from Directv. That tells me Directv removed it from my available channels not NFZL network.

DTV has no control over Motor tend or HGTV sending reruns. As stated before you may have gotten NFL network with the NFL Sunday Ticket which DTV lost.

The channel 212 used to show when in guide mode. This week it stopped showing. Just showed 212-1 whatever that is. When I key 212, it takes me to an screen to order, scan a two dimensional barcode or instructions on how to reset the Directv box if was already getting the channel. It also told me to go to channel 721 which I never had. When I entered 721, it took me to some baseball game selection channels. Weird. I guess I’m going to look for NFL network cost to stream. Not much left on Directv that I’m interested in.  I find most of what I watch I’m using a streaming provider.

"If you have the NFL Sunday Ticket, and in Entertainment or lower, then you get the NFL Network during the season only. "     

Does this mean those at the Entertainment level will get the NFL network during the season this year?  Maybe this was written before the removal of NFL Sunday Ticket.

Thank you for the clarification.  Unfortunately the solution to getting back part of what I had last year is to pay more money so I will be looking at other avenues. 

It's been mentioned that this channel has not been "taken" from Entertainment level users but that is exactly what is happening.

As stated before it never was in the Entertainment channel package. You get it if you had the NFL Sunday Ticket.
