U-verse Showcase Channel (1800) programming
I have no idea where to post this, but there was a show on U-verse's HD Showcase channel (channel 1800) called "It's a Dog's World." It was basically 30 minutes of HD, slow-motion puppies set to pleasing background music. We had it recorded and our 2 year old watched it 2-3 times per day. Our U-verse box crapped out and we had to replace it which knocked out our saved programs, including that one. It wouldn't be a problem if we could re-record it, but it seems to have been dropped from the channel programming entirely.
I know this is a long shot, but any way to get it added back so that we can placate our 2 year old? She asks for it at the top of every hour and it would be GREATLY appreciated.

We've checked through January 13th (as far as the Guide shows it) and it's not included. I'm guessing based on the response there's no way to get it added without knowing who "owns" the programming for the channel.
Person who owns the programming - if you're out there, please add it back!

Check out youtube.com.
I did not see it, but I do not know what I am looking for. There are seven pages of listings. If you do not find it you may find something else.

Love this channel. And my cats absolutely love it! Today, I found my cat mesmerized by "Fuzzy Friends" and "Bear Country". The music for all of these videos is absolutely beautiful and peaceful too! Please show more pet videos!!

From what I understand, AT&T buys this content from a media aggregator (sp?). So basically, there is no telling what you will find but much of it is very pleasing on the eye.

Why? DirecTV don't have the showcase channel. As a customer I like my U-verse not DirecTV.

http://programmingchanges.att.com lists all we know.
But yes...based off what happened when Sirius and XM merged a few years ago, it is only a matter of time until DirecTV and U-Verse have the same channels, for better or worse.

I lost my U-verse showcase channel last night! Honestly, I've been solicited by AT&T to drop U-Verse and switch to Direct TV! The only reason that I was hanging on to U-Verse was for the serenity that the Showcase channel gives me. I just called customer service and they confirmed that it is indeed a channel that was lost due to ongoing negotiations, and they are not sure at this point if they will get it back. That just sucks (for lack of a better phrase..).

Thanks for making the call for us. May just cancel HD.
According to this thread it is never coming back.

Maybe it's not AT&T's fault, but it'd be nice if they develop an alternative solution!

Think that may be why Uverse's cost was $17/mo/user ($10 Million) more than DirecTV's. These were superfluous propaganda channels of no real value that somehow many thought they were a panacea.
That's right, cut off your HD to have wonderful SD (it is the best of any provider), put the DVR/STB in wide screen SD and you might not even notice it.
