#u-verse

Don’t complain to AT&T! -- The actual owner of the stations/channels (Nexstar) wants customers to put pressure on the provider rather than Nexstar. 

They use this underhanded scheme with other providers they deal with, such as Comcast, etc. So just switching to another provider is a laugh on you!  

And a buttload of profit for Nexstar, who are now demanding more money than has ever been seen by providers, by holding customers hostage and pointing at AT&T U-verse/DirecTV.  

Read this: 

Now that their stock is taking a hit, maybe they will finally resolve this issue with @ATT ( @Uverse / @DIRECTV ).

We haven’t had access to our local NBC channel (and two other stations owned by Nexstar) since July 5.  Since I hate sports, I don’t miss these channels so much (Nexstar used the sports coverage blackout as leverage against AT&T). 

And don’t say “Just switch to another provider,” because Nexstar does the same shit with Comcast, Spectrum, etc. and all the other providers. Besides, we never want to change from AT&T, so don’t suggest anything else, please. 

These damned conglomerates had better iron out this bickering before Saturday Night Live comes back, that’s all I can say. 

AT&T Revives Unlimited Data for AT&T TV Subscribers

As we’ve seen another carrier struggle recently with unlimited video streaming, and the Net Neutrality implications of throttling or degrading performance for network stability, AT&T looks to be returning to a business model consumers will understand easily: Unlimited Data.

Of course there’s a small catch. Unlimited data plans will be offered as part of a bundled service with AT&T TV (formerly…

AT&T brings back unlimited data but you need to subscribe to DirecTV or U-Verse

AT&T is brining back unlimited data, which sounds like a good thin, but they are not bring it back with no catches. For starters, in order too get on this new unlimited plan, you need to also subscribe to either DirecTV or U-Verse. The carrier seems to be trying to show off it’s newly offered video streaming services, these first began when they acquired DirecTV. There is an extra cost here, as…

AT&T U-verse, my mum is about done fucking with you. I’m done fucking with your bitch ass people at the stores, who won’t open the account for the person WHO KNOWS THE MOST ABOUT THE ACCOUNT. I’m not done fucking with you, per se, due to the fact that if I could shove it through your thick skulls that I am not the account holder, but the person who knows the account from the rooter to the tooter. I’m gonna call you and see what I can do. Even though there isn’t much else for me to do, only for the simple fact that Top Gear (BBC America- Channel 122) is finished it’s good run. I watched the final episode of Top Gear, high as shit and I damn near cried. I didn’t realise that the show I’ve come to love since having U-verse was going off the air in the way that it’ll be revamped with 3 people I know nothing about. At least with Jeremy Clarkson, I remember him screaming “Power”, James May being the slowest driver in all of Britain and Richard Hammond being the resident cutie who has done teeth whitening and got his hair coloured. Now, since they’ve gone to other ventures, what’s the fucking use of having U-verse other than being able to load up Mecklenburg County Jail website fast? 

Plus, the bill is super outrageous, like really. We pay $200 for unreliable boxes, remote controls with corrosion and 80/20 split of infomercials/QVC/HSN and actual channels. If we are paying $200 for cable, phone and Internet, at least give us some channels that we actually want to see, not QVC, QVC in Spanish, French, German, HSN, infomercials and a bunch of channels that are blacked out in my area. Truthfully, I’d pay $200... for the U-450 plan, GigaPower and unlimited calling to US, Canada, UK and Australia, and only on the basis that we actually get to pick what channels we actually get to keep and drop. 

These are the channels I’d drop (from the current U-verse lineup for Metro Charlotte as of 2 July 2015)

WSOC-TV (ABC)

HSN

ShopTV

As Seen on TV

EVINE

Jewelry TV

ValuTV

AT&T U-verse Shopping channels, every one of them

Channels 86 to 107 (Interactive Channels and Pay-per-View)

AWE

Justice Central (unless they begin airing Judge Joe Brown and Judge Judy)

U-verse Interactive Workout

Telemundo (That’s why WCNC is a NBC station. Call Gannett and coerce them to make Telemundo a subchannel for WCNC.)

BuyIt

One America News

Time Life Channel

Smile Channel (Pure exploitation of children)

TVMall

Esquire Network

Liquidation Channel

QVC (on Channel 420)

Stingray Music (switch it back to Music Choice)

ESPNU

ESPN Classic

SEC

Longhorn Network (We are in North Carolina)

If these channels were deleted, the lineup would be much clearer and I’d be more than happy to pay $150. Plus, the fucking receiver boxes are fucking dumb as hell. It has less space than most entry level Android phones, they like to act up when it’s past 11:45pm and don’t even try going on YouTube whilst there is something recording. For fuck’s sake, you can roll up a whole blunt, smoke half of the blunt, a 100mm cigarette and take a slash and the video will still not have completely loaded.
