@mibrnsurg  thanks! how long has the issue been ongoing? We just switched to UVerse this week. I can use my parents Comcast login for now, but hopefully this is resolved sooner rather than later.  As i'm a newbie to UVerse, whats the link for UVerse online?

About a week for all the posts and they do not have a resolution date, but are working on it.

The problem is it works for many other users, like I posted above, this makes it like finding a needle in a haystack.

If you research back this has been an issue for months and we keep getting the same lame excuses and stall messages while it is obvious they don't give a poop or have no clue what they are doing.  Look back through the forum Chris and you will see this dates back months

I have U450 and 45MB Internet and I get this error message at HBO GO: "It is not possible to sign in at this time. Please try again later." I get a similar error message at Watch ESPN or ESPN3.com. Does anyone know how to fix this?

I cannot signin to watch shows on cable network's websites or apps. When I go to signin, it pops up a welcome message with my AT&T email that says I am in my home network, I click continue, it loads and then reverts back to the screen to select a cable provider. Instead of clicking continue on the home network message, I tried to insert my username and password and it says that the username and password combo isn't recoginized. I am able to login to the AT&T Uverse app with the same username and password.

I sent a note on Saturday and still no response.  When is this going to be resolved?  I may switch providers if it is not fixed in the next week.  Been a long time uverse customer but this is a game changer for me.  Ridiculous that there is no response or resolution.

Welcome to the club .... the club who's membership seems to be growing ... every day ...

Unfortunately ... this club lacks membership benefits ... 

Some episodes or networks require you to connect to a TV provider in order to stream their videos.  I've tried to connect U-verse to HULU, FXnetwork, USAnetwork etc. to no avail.

I get a message window from AT&T that says:

I've been trying this for a week with no success. Anyone have this issue?

Anyone done this successfully?

Thanks

Welcome to the growing crowd ....

Hi there, just curious if there is a solution yet (in time for the big games this weekend)? WatchESPN seems to always fail during football season. Unfortunately, the team I follow puts their games on ESPNnews which looks like the one streaming channel you all don't offer.

Thanks for your expediated response!

I'm having the same issue with watchespn on an android tablet. I'm frustrated as I want to watch a football game on Saturday and it sounds like it won't be resolved by then. I called ESPN and was on hold for 15 minutes and gave up. I called AT&T  and they insisted it was an ESPN problem. 

Ive been a Uverse TV and Internet customer for several years, and I have really enjoyed using Apple TV.  Before I moved, a few weeks ago, I had no problem streaming 3rd Party content via Apple TV, iPad and PC. However, since the move, I can no longer stream 3rd Party Apps (ie Watch ESPN). I have logged out and back in with my ATT acct to no avail. I continue to get "You are not authorized to watch this content..."  I also changed none of my services (U300 and Gigapower)

This is very frustrating. I called ATT Uverse Tech Serv (third party) and they said it's been an issue for the last several weeks, and they are working to resolve. But why did this happen after I moved?  Please provide a solution #frustrated

There has apparently been a widespread issue with Third Party Authentication for a week.

However, even before that, it appears that when someone moved their U-verse service to a new location, the Third Party Authentication database got screwed up for that account.  I have been directing people in that situation to send a PM to @ATTU-verseCare to get their account resynced.  Whether this will matter or can be corrected during the "widespread issue," I do not know.

Having the same issue and equally frustrated. We pay for all the content and can't watch it. Our issue started when we moved our service to a new address and all of a sudden HBO go, ESPN to go etc won't work when we subscribe to all the channels
