107 and 108 are additonal LIVE4K event channels. In the past few weeks they had English and Spanish World Cup matches on them, along with regional 4K MLB games from CHSN, NESN and Sportsnet LA.

104 was a fulltime 4K channel.. the other two were for sporting events and other events. we never paid for any 4K channels with direct..

No, you didn't pay for 4k .... however you did have to pay for 107-108 which were 4k channels.
104 and 105 were 4k that were usually open, 104 was always open.

I remember 104, and then 105 and 106, don't know much about 107 and 108, but Kyle would be the one to confirm, I may have been gone by the time 108 came around.

I know the baseball games use to be on 105 and 6 ... sometimes I could watch other times not ... living in NW Ohio, I'm not sure how any of them were on for me.

That was when they were still CINE4K channels, and you only had to pay when they had a PPV movie, whenever they were pre-empted for live sports they were available to all eligible satellite customers at no additional cost. Basically, if you are authorized for the channel originating the event like FOX, FS1, BTN, NBC, USA, Telemundo, ESPN, CHSN, NESN, Spectrum Sportsnet, etc, you are authorized for the corresponding 4K event feed.

Back in March they replaced 107 CINE4K and 108 CINE4K2 with 107 LIVE4K3 and 108 LIVE4K4 and no longer have any PPV Movies scheduled on them. Last month they made them available to streaming customers in time for the World Cup, but for whatever reason last week they made them satellite only again even though they are still in use whenever there is more than 2 scheduled 4K events.

107 LIVE4K3 and 108 LIVE4K4 are available to stream again.
