Recent channel additions?
I'm wondering the last time U-Verse added channels and what they were.
Shopping/religious/etc. channels don't count.
The Hallmark stuff was added in September 2015.
Honest question...does anyone know? @skeeterintexas?

I periodically review my hidden channel settings and haven't noticed anything new appear in at least a year, and possibly more. They also haven't updated the UI for over two years (or fixed that d@mn Favorites loss-of-position bug I keep harping about). They used to update the UI every year (usually making it worse of course). It's like they just gave up on uverse, don't care any more, and are obsessed with DirecTV.

More questions than answers: What's this Hello Sunshine On Demand (530/1530)? And what's Cheddar (1219)?
It also looks like they've snuck a few more shopping and infomercial channels in on us.

530/1530 is some sort of Reese Witherspoon deal. I'm guessing a PR firm is paying for it.
As far as I know, Cheddar is some sort of millennial(?) news/info/pop channel? It's another weird one. I think there's a wiki.
AT&T introduced their THDVR service via three phases over the course of a year or so. About that same time was when they went from 2HD/2SD to 4HD/0SD...but that was about ten years ago.
Newer builds have the giga service with more HD streams...but AT&T doesn't want to do anything with new GUIs (wasn't it Windows CE?) or more streams or all.
I'm surprised the Showtimes/TMCs/etc don't make them add the additional HD channels.

Eventually (say 15-20 years), I wouldn't be surprised if the only option was the Android-based DirecTV boxes.
It would be one service, one channel lineup, zero actual satellites or dishes...

Yeah, and in that time frame probably all infomercials/shopping/religious channels too!

An android version of Jim Bakker will take over for him when the time comes and will probably still be on TV in that time frame selling the prepper food buckets.
