Does anyone else share my frustration that U-verse does not have AMC in HD? I don't really understand why and have never received a straight answer. If you call, you get transferred to technical support. But, it is not a technical problem; U-verse just does not broadcast AMC in HD. With the new Mad Men season, I'd consider switching to Comcast.

If you do a search on AMC in this forum, you will see numerous posts regarding the "contentious" relastionship with the parent company that owns AMC. I'm sure the lack of AMC in HD (or pure lack of the channel in some markets) is due to contracts / negotiations / hyperbole .. however you would like to discribe it. Unforunately, this is a peer to peer forumn . Any answered you receive here would be pure speculation (as quite of few folks say "take it with a grain of salt".
The only ones who know are the folks sitting in their offices trying to negotiate whatever said roadblock is.

Switching to comcast over MadMen puh puhlease... If you are a die hard fan that would do such a thing why not buy the season pass on iTunes, if you have apple tv...anyway I share the frustration but not over a tv show that will be on bluray by spring.
Twc did not have amchd but they did offer the ondemand episodes on HD, am sure AT&T can get that deal too.

I hear ya. Not having AMC in HD is not a total dealbreaker, but I guess I'm just not clear on the hangups. Another is with Showtime. I get Showtime in HD for regular TV, but I don't get any of the Series like Weeds in HD from the On Demand menu. I feel like U-verse has a good way to go to catch up in the On Demand dept.

Not an iptv expert but I pressume the HD on demand question is more technical than lack of will to provide it. As I mentioned twc did not offer premium ondemand but did have a free HD section. I'm sure until an efficient way to store all this content is discovered we'll have more options.
