NFL Network & RedZone are gone
Can anyone, preferably from AT&T, tell me if NFL Network & RedZone are no longer being carried on U-verse? At 4:15pm today I tried to go to channels 1629 & 1630, but what I saw was a message saying “This channel is no longer carried” and there was a reference to TVpromise.org. First time I’ve ever seen that message. To me, that isn’t just that the NFL Network is offline with broadcast issues. It’s that U-verse has dropped those two channels. Anyone else have this issue or heard anything about it?

The NFL channel is one of the reasons we have U-verse 450. How much of a credit will we receive on our bill?

@Jagg55 You have the highest possible tier because of a channel on a very low tier. Ok then.
As far as discounts, you're really talking about $1.39 per month. I save over $15/mo (probably closer to $30/mo) by calling their retentions/cancellations department once a year and signing up for a long-term contract.
BusinessInsider.com has an article about NFL Network carriage fees.

I'm surprised no one caught this already. Who told you this or where did you read it?

I just called and had a nice conversation with a lady named Maria in the San Antonio center. She tried to help where she could. How much of a discount you’ll get will depend on how many discounts you’re already receiving. Make sure you’re talking to the right person. Hey it’s not getting you the channels back but it could help you afford sling.

I agree if they don’t get it back then I will dump them.

I also tested using my Uverse creds on a fresh install of the app and the channel streams fine on my iPhone, so I'm assuming the NFL Network just hasn't gotten around to blocking us yet.

I will NOT keep u-verse without the nfl network. There are alternatives that are less expensive and at least as good!
