What Channel Is Hallmark Mystery on DIRECTV?
Hallmark Mystery is DIRECTV channel 565. It's included in the ENTERTAINMENT and PREMIER Signature packages, but not in CHOICE or ULTIMATE. That's an unusual split, so if you moved from ENTERTAINMENT up to CHOICE or ULTIMATE, you may have lost the channel without noticing. Hallmark Mystery is also part of DIRECTV's Movies Extra Pack add-on.
Hallmark Mystery is the network that used to be called Hallmark Movies & Mysteries. Right now it's in the middle of its Countdown to Christmas season, running holiday movies around the clock.
