Xtra is your base package of programming. You cannot remove it, only lower or raise it from the packages available. To change package, or to remove an optional add-on such as Showtime, you call DirecTV to do so.

You want to see Fox change again? Assuming that was a typo and you meant "Fox channel", I expect your local affiliate of Fox is not available currently as DirecTV is in negotiations with the channel owner. If so, then it will be back once the two have an agreement.

Remember DirecTV cannot force channel owners to provide their services. The amount of money you pay does not guarantee any channel ever. If DirecTV just caves in to the demands of Nexstar (most likely the owner of your Fox affiliate), then the amount you pay will increase that much more when it comes time for the price adjustment. Doing away with DirecTV doesn't change the fact that this happens with all TV providers and Nexstar is becoming the worst offender.
