My thought is that the HD Premium Tier is actually what we are getting for the additional $10 a month. Based on the channel lineup, it looks as if you can watch Univ HD even if you don't subscribe to the HD Tier. Could be wrong because I do subscribe, so I don't know if you could watch that channel if you didn't subscribe. It's all pretty confusing to me, and the post card didn't help matters. All I know is that nobody that I talked to today seemed to understand it at all other than to guess like the rest of us are doing. SO I guess we just need someone that doesn't subscribe to HD to see if they get the Univ HD channel.
RC, where are you??? 
Okay, in my answer in the other thread, I did state my friend did not have HD service back in March and got the you are not subscribed message on all of the HD channels, but once she subbed to it after getting her TV set in Aug or Sept, she was then able to view them, and I am not talking about any of the premium channels either. She's had the U400 from the gitgo and was never able to view those channels in HD either till she started subscribing to the HD service. 
I remember reading posts a couple months ago that some people were getting some HD channels on their SD sets w/o subscribing to the HD tier. This may be what the postcard is referring to, since no one @ 2020 seems to know what the 'premium tier' is.

I give up. We don't know what they are implying, they don't know what they are implying, so I think we just wait and see and of course hope whatever it is will be in our favor or at least not cost us any more money than we already pay. All I know for sure is nobody seems to know what Premium HD Tier is.
Yea, best to just wait it out and see what happens, unless someone comes out with one of those sources.

Right here.
But even though she didn't see the channels in HD, could she still watch the channels?

So.. we love our TV's. All 4 have HD programming with the U400 pkg and everything else they offer...(well, not quite, not extra sports and no international stuff) but a zillion movie channels, etc. I didn't hand over my landline phoneto u-verse, but I did go internet and TV... so for $190 per month I was saving about $20 over comcast.
If I read this correctly, I'm going to have to shell out more money for this HD channel, and who knows how many others they will move/add/subtract... Unless they stay under that $20.00 mark, right back to comcast I go!
This was probably the worst decision I have ever made! Faulty installation that took months to get repaired, tiling, freezing, outages and even a shut off for non pay when we had cancelled checks to prove payment!!
I love the fact that there are so many more HD channels than Comcast was providing, I love the DVR and now the additional room watching stuff, but this is just getting out of hand! The worst part is there are something like 1900 posts on this subject all discussing that no one at ATT or on their own web site, knows anything... hmmm
Maybe it was a mistake, maybe they weren't supposed to mail this? Am I dreaming?
As Mark has suggested, till we know for sure what is happening, best to probably not get upset about anything. I know I did at first, but no point in that, is there?
Have patience and wait and see what AT&T does next.
