said by djrobx:I understand that competitive pressure is driving AT&T add more HD channels. That's a good thing. I understand those channels cost money, so it makes sense that AT&T would break some of them off into a new optional tier rather than raise everyone's rates.
Universal HD must be a relatively expensive channel. Time Warner (the home of "Free HD") also has Universal on a small, special HD tier and charges extra for it. If you are to go on rumors, U-verse appears to be planning to add a lot of channels soon, so perhaps we're giving up Universal but getting many more in return.
U-verse needs RSN's in HD.
