A&E HD To Launch Wednesday

[kennya]

Correct. You need an MPEG4 receiver.

%&^-of-a-#@$%!..... I sure hope I can get a deal on the 622's tomorrow.

 

[bowens]

Well, it looks like ATT will have A&E also. I think I'm going to trust Scott's email from E* though and say that I will have it ready on my 211 when I get home tonight.

 

[jmel]

maybe it was added to both?

 

[Hall]

Maybe Swanni was ...... gasp ...... wrong !

AT&T gets the programming from E*, whatever changes E* makes AT&T customers see them too. The only changes are with promotions and equipment. It took me over a year to lease a 622 with AT&T but I have no commitment whatsoever.

Well, if they do make it available, we'll be happy to see it! The wife LOVES CSI-Miami. And who knows, maybe old Charlie will send us a few more!

I was talking about ATT Uverse that was mentioned on the last page. It's a whole separate service.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

AT&T Uverse already has A&E HD.

Check my post in the IPTV forum as I am a U Verse subscriber.

For those people who could care less for more sports channels, maybe E* should put the RSNHD channels in a separate sports package and charge separately for it. Let all the sports enthusiasts who want the channels pay for it.

Why charge separately? Dish already provides the SD channel. Shouldn't cost any more to receive the HD version.

Okay, well that was what the linked article said.

AT&T TV Adds A&E HD
The telco TV service is now available in a dozen markets.
By Phillip Swann

Washington, D.C. (January 30, 2007) -- AT&T announced today that it has added A&E HD to its lineup of High-Definition channels.

The telco TV service, called U-verse TV, is available in approximately 12 markets across the country. But it plans to reach 19 million households by the end of 2008.

AT&T's carriage agreement with A&E Television Networks also includes the company's standard definition channels such as The History Channel, The Biography Channel and the Military History Channel.

Looks like another late press release, Dish had one the other day for a service they have carried for a long long time.

It happens.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Poke read message #1 again.

It says it will be available by 5pm today.

It's not 5 yet.

 

[Poke]

Opps! Sorry my bad! I have not had my morning Java..

I was talking about ATT Uverse that was mentioned on the last page. It's a whole separate service.

Since AT&T has both Uverse and Dish Network, you may want to refer with the service name, not the company name when posting. We're in the Dish Network forum so I assumed you meant AT&T/Dish Network.

"It's a whole separate service."

Yes, it's called IPTV and there is a full review from Scott in the IPTV forum.

 

[Madtown HD Junkie]

yeah!!! glad to hear they are adding more. I will take anymore HD I can get. Glad I made the switch late last summer to E* from D*. Keep adding channels@party @party @party :clap :clap

I'm sorry, I should have clarified. I was just following up to the poster 2 posts before mine who was talking about UVerse.

 

[RandallA]

No problem Bowens. Since we now have IPTV services from AT&T, it will be good to clarify which services we're talking about.
