Universal HD (1105) is off-air permanently
As of July 14, 2017, the Universal HD channel is no longer available.
NBCUniversal, a parent company to Universal HD, has decided to permanently cancel this channel.
(It should be eventually replaced on U-Verse systems by The Olympic Channel.)

As far as who will complain? It will be someone who meets any or all of these:
Just switched from another provider
---That provider will be named
Has U-450 (with or without HD Prem)
Has the fastest internet
Is a long-term AT&T mobile customer
Has U-Verse phone
A U-Verse salesman indicated "all the channels" would be available.

So is there any word (other then what was reported a few months ago) if the new channel will be showing up on 1105 any time soon or do you think it may be placed in the 1600's with the other sports channels?? Or not at all, lol. Thanks!

The Olympic Channel begins broadcasting tomorrow at 6 A.M. Eastern Time. The first program will be a 30 minute preview show. In searching for more info I found a channel finder by Zap2It, but it doesn't work. Another article said that it would be on DirecTV and some cable systems. The programming will also be streamed on olympicchannel.com.

I did so more searching and on TitanTV I found a listing for The Olympic Channel on 667/1667. Those channels are not yet operational.

Will 667/1667 be a permanent channel and not a special event channel?

I think the intent is to make it permanent. Having it available at least to the next summer Olympics is most likely. If nobody watches the channel then it like any other channel won't be around forever.
