Can't access a channel

Hallmark channels are part of the package I pay for. I was watching a movie on one of my TV's, the one to which my DVR is connected. When I tried to continue watching it on another TV and then on my phone, a message says the channel is not part of my package even though it is.

Good evening @cat2752. Are you logging in with your main XFINITY ID on phone? On the other TV, is it a cable box or are you using the stream app?

My log-in is my Xfinity ID. The other TV is not cable.  It has  Chromecast. I have often watched the Hallmark channels through Chromecast on that TV with no issue. The app that I tried on my phone was the Hallmark app. I got the same nessage there as I did through Chromecast, that those channels were not part of my cable subscription even though they are. I CAN stream to that TV using the Xfinity Stream app, so I can access them now. I simply do not understand why I can no longer just do so through Chromecast without using the app. What changed?

@cat2752 to confirm, you can use the Xfinity Stream app and Chromecast, but you can not use the Hallmark and Chromecast, correct?
