Title: AT&T's U-verse gets TWC HD
Post by: jtmal0723 on October 17, 2008, 03:11:55 AM
From what I'm reading on Engadget HD, The Weather Channel HD has come to AT&T U-verse (on channel 1225) today.

http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/10/17/8-new-hd-channels-added-to-atandts-u-verse/

When will we see a further rollout of TWC HD on Comcast? I surely would love to have it...

If U-verse refuses to add a STAR on regular TWC, I doubt they'll add Weatherscan anytime soon.

Hmmm... :thinking:

Channel 1225 still doesn't exist on my U-Verse line-up. I wonder when this will take effect. :dunno:

What's U-verse like (in terms of service, quality, pros/cons etc). Are there plans of this coming to Philadelphia?

They should add older stars like the Junior or 4000, much cheaper. :)

They won't. Stop thinking about it. You sound like one Vernon Metcalf. :club:

Well still it's not a huge cable company.

It's AT&T. They can surely afford an Istar. Plus, IIRC, TWC is no longer distributing lesser STARs to cable cos any more.

Being the only PC-based system, the IntelliStar is definitely cheaper than the 4000, and possibly cheaper than the Junior too.

Was money the reason, why U-verse couldn't get a STAR? And I am assuming their installing IStars for every headend?

I almost thought U-Verse was like DirectTV; there just wasn't any way for a local STAR. But now, I'm real excited if they're going to add one. :thrilled:

I STILL don't have channel 1225, though and don't know why. :blink:

EDIT: Forget about what I said. You can obviously tell I am not a reader. :P I can't wait for November 3rd!

I wish I had U-Verse.  Also, they have plans to have 123 HD channels by year end.  The deal had been made, but they won't add it for a while (I think).  U-Verse users, hold you breathe, TWC HD and a true LO8's is a comin'! B)

I was trying to figure who the guy was. Was he the one who copied the May 2008 playlist here to TWCC?

No, Vernon is not a member here (at least as far as I know).  ;)

Of course! AT&T U-Verse now has TWC HD, but my stupid Comcast headened doesn't even have it. What kind of logic is that. :rolleyes:

Comcast probably doesn't have the bandwidth to distribute it... When they get off their butts and distribute Switched Digital Video, they'll start to have free bandwidth so they can roll it out... my area has limited HD because of poor bandwidth allocation. :(

OH MY GOODNESS!!! :thrilled: TWC HD LOOKS ABSOLUTELY EXCELLENT!!!  :clap: :dance: :twothumbs: :cool3:  :biggrin:  :faint:

A much BIGGER picture, a much CLEARER picture, and of course, the HD Local Forecast (which you actually CAN read the text on!). Thank you U-Verse for adding TWC HD!!! (Now if we can just get the local forecast. :))
