What happened to the Music Choice Channels?
Hello,
We awoke this morning to find out the our Music Choice Channels were replaced with Sting ray! What's up with that? Also, what the heck is U-verse Elite? When I was check Sting Ray, it told me I need U-verse Elite to continue. I hit okay and it downloaded the channels ... Is this adding cost to U-verse 300 programming? If so, how do I change it?
Thank to all who answer!
Dennis

I doubt anyone is paying "premium" prices for something available to the vast majority of subscribers. We pay "premium" prices for channels like HBO.
I also doubt they just "up and switched' anything.

Chris: I tried what you suggested, and it worked fine. However, Music Choice was so much easier to deal with since it was not an app, and all you had to do was change channels to get different types of music.
The bottom line is that I do not subscribe to U-verse for music channels, I subscribe for television and internet. Threatening to quit U-verse because of a change in music channels makes no sense to me. But everyone has a different interest. I prefer playing CD's if I want to listen to music.

I am not happy at all with this change, Stingray Music is not working at all . I listen to music via U-verse TV 70% of the time; called tech support, the rep I spoke with did not know about the change or what to do to fix the problem. He did say that U-verse internet is not required just high-speed internet, I have TWC running @ 200Mbps/20Mbps, but I get "error 0" each time I try to access Stingray.
So far I tried resetting my U-verse modem and STB, still no Stingray.

We have theater room with a 109” projection screen. One thing we have been doing EVERYDAY since the room was completed was to play the Smooth Jazz channel through the sound system with the projector off. Unfortunately, starting this weekend ATT switched to Stingray. I have no problem with them switching but, I have a big problem when none of the channels working.
“Error code: 0 Failure to load resources”
Went to the tech support chat and the first rep basically told me that you have to have uverse internet for this to work and stopped the chat before I could reply. So I went back and chatted with another tech and rather than get solutions I get apologies. At least this tech had a manager call me back which again didn't offer any solutions other than to buy ATT internet. He went on to say that "his team" will work the issue.
I have fiber to my house with a connection speed that neither cable not ATT can touch. I am not switching my internet!
When signed on to uverse I signed a contract that gave a group of channels that included 60 some odd music channels at an agreed to price. I am no longer getting those.
The obvious solution is to make the music channels work. I don't care how they do it but, if I have any increase in my bill then I am switching back to my previous provider.

Contemporary Christian selections are hidden in the "POP" folder, subfile title "The Light".

Hi ptsylmsit,
Thanks! I finally found it yesterday going through each menu. What a pain!!! My wife did find out that if you enter the channel number ... like "5134" (old Music Choice #) and The Light pops up. So it looks like the channel numbers are at lease the same. Soundscapes is "Spa" at 5140.
Thanks again,
Dennis

Having to open an App is just boneheaded. Just make them stations like MC. It was easy. Why make it hard just because it changed!

In a phone call to customer service, I learned AT&T is in negotiations regarding Music Choice channels. Meanwhile, we are stuck with Stingray. (at least they give us SOMETHING)
Representing a group of 6 neighbors who ALL dislike Stingray, I am hoping the powers-that-be will listen to what their viewers are saying here, not to mention all the many others who do not know or bother to come here to post their displeasure.
Tell your circle of friends and family to let AT&T know how they feel, and for them to spread the news, it's the only way back folks...
