Bunch of questions
A few weeks ago, I was told AT&T U-Verse would shut down by some salesmen at Walmart.
Now I’m reading AT&T TV will launch nationwide (without channels I have U-Verse for, ones that nobody else carries) and that U-Verse will shut down.
My discount expires in January and nobody seems to be able to help. My bill is going to skyrocket up to $200 with the rate increases.
What can I do? I don’t want to lose the channels I watch. I don’t want to lose all of my DVR recordings. And I can’t afford a $60+ bill increase. Why is this happening?

This is the article I read. This matches what the DirecTV salesman hounding me at Walmart told me. last month. “They want people shifted to DirecTV by March” they told me.
I called them on the phone about it, they asked where I got my info from, told them and the response was “Not true. Speculation. If you hear any more about this, call us and tell us about it.”
As far as the service, I have had it since 2011 and never had any trouble with it. I had to replace the DVR once during that entire time. Before U-Verse, I had Time Warner (Spectrum) and was swapping their Scientific Atlanta boxes constantly because they kept breaking down. Nobody I know with Spectrum has a smooth experience. It’s too bad AT&T couldn’t figure out what they were doing right and expanding on it instead of spending money on all this junk they didn’t need.
I guess I’ll have to downgrade my package. I’m on U-450 so that means losing HBO and Cinemax. I want to keep it as long as possible because it actually works.

Hello,
UVerse isn’t a long term option, AT&T TV appears to be part of a solution, but too early to know spot sure. All speculation here. The content isn’t provided through a cable (like uverse) or a dish (like directv), so it’s more limited at the moment due to other companies owning exclusive “streaming” rights that prevent AT&T TV form having those available (at this time).
