You know I feel the same way about the soccer channels, all of them but we have them for the poeple who want them. If you don't want to watch, block the channel! Quit acting like 5yo kids.

LOL.  I think we all know the real reason for the complaints and threats to leave U-verse if the Longhorn Channel is added.  It is rather amusing.

TG,

I don't think I've read a more ridiculous thread!! LOL The crossed arms-bottom lip stuck out- type comments are so reminiscent of my children when they were younger!!!

As I have said many times, sports fans and rivals can be very passionate and will do and say things that do not seem logical.

As a passionate St. Louis Cardinal fan, I am very disgusted that ATT U-Verse is carrying WGN which telecasts many Chicago Cubs games. I should not have to pay one cent for a channel that telecasts a team I am very much against.

In addition, ESPN, the Saturday Fox Game of the Week, and the MLB Network have telecast Cub games on occasion. Again, I do not want to pay even one cent for channels that carry this disgusting baseball team.

Unless ATT U-Verse drops WGN, ESPN and ESPN 2, my local Fox station, and the MLB Network, I may need to change providers.

Owning a computer and not having the internet is like buying a refrigerator and not stocking it with food.

I see your Texas Rangers logo. Suppose ATT notified you of its intent to broadcast the NYY YES network and charge you extra each month for it. I use the Yankees as an example because I don't know who the Rangers most hated rival actually is.

The problem is not the network itself. I doubt I'll ever watch it. Sounds pretty lame from what I'v heard.  It's the principle of being forced to support this endeavor financially. If it comes to that, there are other options to U-verse and I will explore them. Not one dime of mine will go to support ut.  If that's childish, so be it.

Well, that actually happens now.  I receive YES as part of my HD Premium Package.  Thus, the cost of this network is included in my monthly fees.  I have no problem with it.   I do hate the Yankees, and I would only watch a Yankees game hoping that they lose.

There are lots of channels included in my subscription that I don't want, don't watch and don't like.  Yet the cost for the channels is included in my monthly fees.  Thus, I help to support those channels.  So what, that is how it works with a paid TV service.  You pay for a package of channels.  You don't get to pick and chose what channels you want to include in your package.  My remote is in great working order, and I know how to not tune to those channels that I do not wish to view.

Childish?  Well, I won't comment on that.  I will let others reading your comments come to their own conclusion.

I too will drop AT&T Uverse and all of the other AT&T services including my DSL and cell phone service if the Longhorn Network is added to my Uverse package. 

When will we get the Longhorn Network?  Please do not make me change cable providers in order to follow my Longhorns!  You have a state full of Longhorn Fans. What are you thinking? Hurry up and get on-board!
