Well, could the downtime this weekend on the U-verse pages be due to rolling out these new channels?

I live in Riverside, CA (for Uverse purposes I get the LA feeds) and I got the postcard today as well. Here's a scan:

 

 

Just like the OP, I called AT&T and checked out their website; CS didn't know what the postcard was referring to, as she had no knowledge of an HD Premium Tier. She even placed me on hold and asked some other people. The website also has no mention of it. I'm wondering what other channels they'll be moving, and how much the premium tier will cost. My guess is they're going to have some kind of HD movie package, which would suck. Universal HD is one of the few channels I get that plays HD movies on the u200 plan I have now.

Channels 1104 (Universal HD), 1105 (HDNet), and 1106 (HDNet Movies) are available on all packages, according to when I checked the channel lineup for my zip. Most likely, that is the case all around.

My guess, and that is only MY guess, is that those 3 channels are all going to move to the new tier and if we want them, we will have to pay extra, and that just sux big time.

Thanks for scanning that card and posting it, even if it isn't good news.

IIRC, one of the surveys in the last few months alluded to their being a tiered HD package in the future. they asked how much I was willing to pay extra for the service and I said Zero.

You are going to see some new packages come out soon that will be just for HD channels if thats all you want.

There will also be a premium HD Tier soon, due to the costs of some of the channels.

Thats all I want to hear is "more money".

So if I have U400 do you actually think they are going to ask me for more money for HD content (ie... it looks as if more HBO channels, cinemax, Encore, showtime etc HD is coming) ... In these times I not about paying more especially if I have their top package. 

  It will be interesting because I will rid myself  U400 to add HD but I will not get into a pay more phase again like I had to go through with another provider.

Be careful AT&T, service is great but if you guys get crazy with prices, then you open up a whole new world of demands that your are still in BETA world with.  

I can see AT&T becoming a nickel and dime you to the poor house operation. It’s just entertainment and we pay way to much for it. I don’t know about you but most the time I find myself watching network TV or premium move channels VOD.

I want U100 with premium on demand package. But only after they add more HD VOD.
