Historically, Select has 4 channels less than Entertainment (ESPN, ESPN2, Pursuit, FS1). Recently the Select package was removed from the current side by side channel lineups, so may have been grandfathered. To see if there were any changes to the channel lineup that differ from what it has had over the years, you will need to call DirecTV.
The channel lineup on AT&T's (and linked from DirecTV's) website no longer lists Select. That is why it is suspected to be grandfathered. DIRECTV Channel Lineup List (att.com)
from Grant18: All of the comments directing me to DirecTV and/or ATT are useless because there is no lineup for SELECT on any pages there. Trying to ask via a Chat is even more ridiculous because the response who don't seem to be even willing to admit that my bill designates my channel lineup as SELECT. teetertotter's recommendation takes me to a page which might be correct but because it has no DirecTV or ATT imprimatur, I can't be positive. Obviously DirecTV and ATT must know the answer but I haven't been able to pry it out of them. The closest I've gotten is that channel lineups have become "fluid" and even the staff don't have a paper list of the various "grandfathered" channel lineups. And if you really want to get "that's not my job" answers, just say "WHY NOT?"
The 3rd party site mentioned that has a link to the Select package, is the PDF that used to be on DirecTV's website. Since it has Hallmark Movies & Mysteries that is the last version before all the lineups moved to AT&T's website.
DirecTV did away with paper lineups a bit before AT&T acquired them. Going green and saving cost, since they were only as current as of the day they were printed and some techs and 3rd party retailers would give outdated lineups that didn't match. So now they only have the one on the website, which is updated as needed. I believe that is what they referred to as "fluid". And historically, the website only supports current options, not grandfathered ones.
But as mentioned, Select has been the same as Entertainment minus those 4 sport channels (ESPN, ESPN2, Pursuit, FS1). If there had been any further changes, you would have to call to find out.
I have the Select 155+ -- more than Entertainment or Choice package, but cannot find a directory list of the channels I get. I was getting a $20 discount also, but that has been dropped. I think I am about to drop Directv -- it seems that streaming is a better deal. So, if I leave Directv and come back later, the Select package will be gone? I certainly getting tired of paying for all of those service I do not use, like the Sports charge, and something else -- amounting to around $24 addition costs for, in my opinion, "nothing".

AFAIK DTV has grandfathered the Select package.
Their website has these packages.
https://www.directv.com/offers/packages/?utm_medium=paidsearch&utm_source=google&utm_campaign=brandspelling&utm_audience=prospect&utm_content=misspelling&utmid=&source=EDIKDIDEL00TFCGJP&wtExtndSource=dtv&ds_agid=58700008158148404&customer_id=286-546-6291&gclsrc=aw.ds&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAiAtNK8BhBBEiwA8wVt9x-GqMbhhJH_8DxnnyD0z9onRrOVAXh4EHrE0_PncdGM9mYLD6du9BoCmbYQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds
RSN fees are added in choice and above packages and there is the HD, DVR and Whole Home fees.
