NFL Network & RedZone are gone
Can anyone, preferably from AT&T, tell me if NFL Network & RedZone are no longer being carried on U-verse? At 4:15pm today I tried to go to channels 1629 & 1630, but what I saw was a message saying “This channel is no longer carried” and there was a reference to TVpromise.org. First time I’ve ever seen that message. To me, that isn’t just that the NFL Network is offline with broadcast issues. It’s that U-verse has dropped those two channels. Anyone else have this issue or heard anything about it?

Not surprising at all the literature still claimed NFL Network in June. It's like gas prices...rapid to rise and slow to fall. If AT&T had a new acclaimed network in its lineup the advertising would have been immediate. But in terms of getting rid of something they don't mind at all if wrong impression lingers for a while and perhaps attracts a customer here and there.

This is not a solution. This is an explanation. ATT charges the same I get fewer channels. That is not a solution for me. I would not have signed on with U-Verse if NFL Network was not a part of the package. If the network is not restored by football season, I will leave ATT for TV, internet and phone.

NFL Network is not coming back. Best to evaluate other options now, instead of waiting until the brink of opening week and then forced to scramble. Playstation Vue is a good option because it includes NFL Network in most of its packages, and also includes the major networks like ABC, NBC and CBS. Other companies like Sling don't have those networks.
I use DVR heavily and often don't get to programs for more than a month. For example, I taped all the biathlon world championship races from March but still have not watched them. Not exactly risky. Nobody is bombarding me with biathlon results. I can watch them months later and not have any idea who won.
AT&T has superior DVR than some alternates. That complicates matters for me even if it wouldn't mean much of anything to others. Playstation keeps programs for only 28 days.
YouTube TV, on the other hand, is really prioritizing its Cloud-based DVR. They keep programs for 9 months, which is plenty of time even for me. The user interface is excellent. My neighbor has it so he allowed me to tinker and evaluate. I was extremely impressed. YouTube allows DVR accounts for 6 different users of the same account, meaning you aren't stepping on each other's recordings and potentially deleting them accidentally. It is unlimited volume, unlike the 200 hours current max on my Uverse DVR.
Here is the current channel lineup comparison. If AT&T doesn't want these type of lists then they shouldn't be getting rid of biggies like NFL Network while sending minions to pathetically rationalize:

Obviously I should have mentioned that YouTube TV does not have NFL Network. Some people use Playstation for football season then switch to YouTube for the remaining 8 months of the year. My neighbor does that.
There has been some talk of YouTube adding NFL Network but it hasn't happened yet
