Great another channel I won't be getting because my wife downgraded to U-200. Too bad it isn't part of U-200 or the Sports Package. Oh well, maybe it'll make its way down to the U-200 package one day. It is cool they finally got it.
Tell your wife to upgrade you back to the U300 package.

SD and HD are on in St. Louis. However, the repeat of the Celtics and Heat game from last night is not indicated as being in HD on 1632.

Great news that NBA TV has been added. Just found it in the line-up a few minutes ago. Problem is i can't get the channel. I find it absurd that this isn't included in the sports package which i subscribe to. What's the point of having a sports package if you can't include major channels like this one??...i think i'll wait until U-Verse come to their senses and add it to their sports package. Great to have it in the line-up though. Looks like i'll have to continue to listen to the NBA games via my sirius radio for right now.

I am glad to have NBA TV to U-Verse. Now I can watch some NBA games. I am hoping that they are going to offer NBA League Pass soon. Now most that wanted the channel can now rejoice its here!!!! It took a while but its here. I wonder when are they going to have a offical press release of this. I checked the nba website and ATT is not listed yet as a provider.
Good Job ATT!!!!

Well, U-verse now has 3 of the 4 major team sports channels (i.e. NFL Network, NBA TV and NHL Network). Only the NHL Network is included in the Sports Package. I would imagine that has to do with the relative lower popularity of ice hockey compared to the other team sports.

Well, neither is the NFL Network. Not all "sports channels" are in the Sports Package.

Well, its one of those things where no matter what, some group of customers will unhappy with the placement of the channel. If it where in the Sports Package, the U200 and U300 people who don't want to purchase the Sports Package would not be happy.
I'm just happy it is somewhere in the lineup so that it is an option. Before today, that channel was not option with U-verse.

Now I'm in a conundrum. Still wondering what it means considering League Pass. I assume it will be to follow, but in the meantime I'm missing games because the season has started. I was going to order League Pass via broadband. Not sure if it's worth the upgrade to U300 not knowing when it will be offered - I would if I knew when to expect AT&T offer League Pass.

Glad to see it is showing up in different regions. It has taken a few years but it is apparent that ATT does care about and is working on getting the sports channels for their subs who want them. Good job ATT.

There have recently been a lot of posts regarding the placement of NBA TV and other channels within the U-Verse lineup.

Some channel owners don't care as to the location of the channel. The NHL is quite happy to put NHL Network in the Sports Tier, so that's where it goes.

Some channel owners DO care. MLB wants MLB Network to go in a low tier. Presumably, this is part of the reason as to why it is not yet on AT&T U-Verse. AT&T would rather have it in the Sports Tier (also included in U-450) or U-300 in order to sell more "higher" packages. MLB would rather put it on a lower tier in order to get it into more households.

The "Sports Tier" or "Sports Package" is generally for "niche" channels like HRTV or GOLTV, or channels that don't care where they go, such as NHL Network. It is also for "out of market" programming that is NOT subject to blackouts.

Considering the WS is on right now, and the season dosen't start again untill....March (?) I would wait and see if they do not add it right before next season starts, like NBA TV was added right at the start of the BB season. BTW, America's pastime, is wayyy to long. WS in Nov???? I remember when the WS was in Oct.

NBA TV is great news for UV. I am not a basketball fan at all, especially the pro's (like watching a tennis match, to me) but am glad that they added it for fans of the game. Thanks AT&T!
