Masters Multiview?

I am new to U-verse and searching Google I have seen that in years past U-verse either offered a special multiview or provided a number of channelsfrom which one could create their own that provided coverage of the Masters golf tournament. Will that be the case for 2015 as well? Are there other special events that U-verse does this for during the course of the year?

Here's the list as of right now:

115 - 2015 Masters TV App

616 - 2015 Masters TV App

619 - Amen Corner

620 - 15th and 16th Live

621 - Featured Group 1

622 - Featured Group 2

623 - Masters In-Depth

Add 1000 for HD.

One can only hope that the extra ESPN and CBS channels will be added over the next few days. I am optimistic, as the channel slots are there. There must be some legal or technical reason as to why they haven't added them yet. I do remember additional channels being added at later points in previous years. In fact, this seems to be the latest they've added the app...the app usually is added well in advance of the other channels

The extra channels were all in a row on the Guide, including another local CBS (covers S/Su) in the same grouping and possibbly another ESPN (covers T/F) too.

This is the only thing adding extra channels on Uverse. 😉

Similar to this:

Special coverage with access to 6 exclusive Masters only channels with full leader board, narrowed down scoreboard by player, hole and much more.

Channel 701 - Featured Group 1
Channel 702 - Featured Group 2
Channel 703 - Amen Corner
Channel 704 - Holes 15 and 16
Channel 705 - CBS Coverage
Channel 706 - Masters in Depth

Not on these channels, this is for DirecTV channels.

For whatever reason, they didn't add the extra ESPN channel last year. In previous years, I would hide the extra CBS channel and then "swap" the extra ESPN for the extra CBS late Friday night.

I hope they add them back this year.

Must mean that useless Multiview will be there w/it's Standard Definition images, even on the "HD" version. Smiley Surprised

Wasn't it discovered that those channels have to be SD because not everyone gets 4 HD streams?

I can only imagine how someone would tune into 1115 to see the HD channels and "I PAY ALL THIS MONIES FOR HD AND I CAN'T WATCH THE APP IN HD!" We'd have to tell them that they can't watch the HD channels because they don't have the 4 HD profile.

All the more reason why AT&T needs serious upgrading. 4 HD was cool a few years ago, but with the DirecTV Genie....yeah...

That's why I call any multiview as useless, I'd just rather tune the channels. Smiley LOL

If you make a custom list in "My Multiview", those seem to be HD.

Last year, no extra ESPN channel. This year, no ESPN channel. They still have time to add the extra CBS.

@Fox Mulder -- Any ideas why they didn't add these extra ESPN/CBS channels? You seem to have the "know how" on the hows and whys of U-Verse. I'd like them to add these channels.

And I just sent you one back. Maybe it was my wording in the post, but I clarified things in the PM.

FWIW.. I do see ESPN in the muti-view app, for whatever that is worth.
