It’s interesting that you don’t need to log into Directv to watch any shows. You can actually watch your favorite shows on Lifetime without having to have TV service.

One thing to note is that you won’t be able to watch if you have an adblocker installed. There will also be one minute plus ads that you’ll need to sit through to watch the shows that you like.

New episodes of lifetime shows come out the day after they air on TV. If you can’t watch the episode live, make sure to record the episode on your DVR so you don’t get spoiled by your friends or at work.

Lifetime Channel Guide

Lifetime and Lifetime Movies are different channels on DirecTV and while they have similar content, they’ll have different shows and movies playing when you watch.

These channels are right next to each other on your Directv tv guide. Those channels are 252 for Lifetime and 253 for Lifetime Movies.

One thing that we noticed is that Directv doesn’t have the 3^rd Lifetime channel Lifetime Real Women.

This was a programming decision on their part but it’s a shame that you don’t have access to some of the best Lifetime shows.

Some of our favorite shows on Lifetime are Married at First Sight and Dance Moms.

New episodes of Married at First Sight are still coming out! The show airs on Wednesdays at 8/7 Central.

Shows On Lifetime

The Lifetime Channel has a unique way in how they fill out their schedule for Directv and other TV providers.

There’s not always new content when you dial into Lifetime. Most of the time it’ll be the following syndicated shows: Castle, Rizzoli & Isles, and The Closer.

Lifetime’s original content comes out during primetime Wednesday to Friday. Currently, what’s airing and what’s new is Married at First Sight, the UK Version and Married at First Sight Couples Couch.

Those start at 6 PM and continue the whole night.

Starting every Friday, lifetimes’ programming movies solely to movies.

You can watch great hits like Stalked at 17 and Pride: A Seven Deadly Sins Story.
