Find Lifetime in your lineup

Use your DIRECTV guide to open channel 252 and confirm it plays on the account you plan to use. The Lifetime channel guide provides background. Channel availability and package requirements should be checked for your particular delivery service and account.

Compare the title, network and local time of the specific November 8 guide entry. Confirm your account access before planning a recording or changing television service.

Record the correct movie entry

Select the November 8 movie in the guide, inspect available recording options and check that it appears in your scheduled list. Storage, recording features and later access depend on your equipment and plan. If you choose a repeat airing, use that entry's own date and time.

Revisit the listing before Sunday for any schedule change. The announced premiere does not promise a fixed replay window or an on-demand copy after the broadcast.

Check next-day streaming access

Lifetime's official movie page announces next-day streaming after the November 8 premiere. Check the current movie listing for the applicable app, sign-in and subscription requirements. The announcement does not establish unrestricted access through every Lifetime-branded product.

Receiving the television channel does not automatically supply a separate streaming subscription. Test your intended account and device, and review any renewal and cancellation terms before starting a new plan. This guide quotes no streaming price or free trial and promises no fixed replay window.

Before changing television service

Check the channel lineup, recurring charges and equipment required for the actual address and delivery service you select. For live-TV questions, compare DIRECTV options at your address or call American TV at 1-855-690-9884. Confirm current account eligibility before ordering.
