Find TBS in your DIRECTV guide
Open the guide and find TBS on channel 247. Then select the November 4 evening listing and confirm the program name and start time. If the channel does not play, check your package and account access before assuming you need a separate event purchase.
The TBS channel guide provides related information. Channel inclusion and viewing on a particular app or device depend on the service you actually use. This guide does not quote a package price or promise that every account includes the same channels.
Check HBO Max separately
AEW also announces an HBO Max simulcast. Before relying on that route, confirm that your account can access the live event on the intended device. An app being installed does not establish your subscription or event entitlement.
If you obtain HBO Max through another subscription or bundle, check the activation instructions and account status. Do not assume that having TBS through DIRECTV automatically activates every HBO Max feature. The HBO Max and DIRECTV guide explains related account questions.
Prepare your recording and screen
If you plan to record, select the actual event in the guide and review the available recording options. Allowing additional recording time can help with a live broadcast, but storage and scheduling limits depend on your equipment or plan. Confirm the recording appears in your account.
For live viewing, test the chosen channel or app before the announced start. Keep sign-in details available and check audio and picture on the screen you intend to use. Match cards and broadcast listings can change, so consult the current guide on the day.
For package questions, compare DIRECTV options at your address or call American TV at 1-855-690-9884. Confirm the full address, current lineup, equipment and account eligibility.
