Additional Classic Movies Channel?

Any chance of adding a brand new channel to the Uverse channel lineup? I would love to see the MOVIES! Network Channel added to my lineup! Yes, TCM, 1790, is here but MOVIES! seems to offer a alternative selection for classic movies viewers! Thanks

Is AT&T allowing existing users with uverse to keep it if they move or is it that once you move even if in the same neighborhood where it was available you lose it? For example, I know that it is available on my block as me and my neighbors have it now. If I move next door, will they force me of
