Where is the Hallmark Channel?
I am new to At&t U verus. I was told when I signed up the Hallmark Channel was available. It took me a week to finally realize you don't have it. Very misleading.

When you think of Christmas Classic movies and TV shows, are any of them Hallmark branded or would be exclusively shown on Hallmark?
Most of the classics will be shown on broadcast TV (Rudolph, Frosty, Charlie Brown, etc.) or on ABC Family (Jingle all the way, Santa Clause, anything with Tim Allen in a Christmas movie, etc.)
Yes Hallmark has a bunch of original Christmas Movies each year, but the average person couldn't distinguish the difference between them if they were quizzed a few days after watching them.

I'm talking about classic movies from way back such as: Shop Around the Corner, Holiday Affair, Holiday, Christmas in Connecticut, etc. etc. There's so many more. While many of them were before my time, they were still some that you saw quite often around the holidays. Bing Crosby, Cary Grant, Katherine Hepburn, Spencer Tracy, etc.
Not sure what the comment about the "average" person means? Are you saying the "average" person wouldn't or couldn't enjoy an old "classic"? Tradition is a good thing, and it's never too late to start one.

Maybe one day they'll create a channel with nothing but movies that have some Christmas and other holidays in them that can be watched year round. The Holiday Channel instead of "Hallmark" or something 🙂

Trista, please see this thread by my pal OUFan.... It is not all of the Holiday movies (obviously some channels did not get populated very far out) but it does have LOTS of movies on channels that U-Verse does offer.
As far as Holiday faves, I don't have that many and I forget their names but there is a Christmas Hobo movie where this older guy is a homeless / transient type and he decides to visit his estranged son and family, for the Holidays and another where a dad and teenaged daughter travel from the East Coast to the Rocky Mountains in an old pickup truck and they keep seeing this woman along the way, who is trying to get to the West Coast. I've only seen the latter once and I want to see it again but have no idea of its title.
You mention a classics type channel, next month Encore is rebranding it's Love Channel to Encore Classic with classics that Babyboomers enjoy. It may not be exactly what you are looking for but it may be a start. On 12/2 Encore Love, channel will become Encore Classic – featuring iconic movies as well as classic TV.

Hobo Yes, the other No. I have seen the latter and it was a good movie (Jon Denver!) but the cross country trip movie was very recent. Thank you!
EDIT: The father/daughter road trip movie is The Road to Christmas (2006) with Jennifer Gray. Nice movie! http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0800115/

We had horrible service from our previous carrier Time Warner and couldn't be happier with Att, so it wasn't an option to review channels prior to the change, because it wouldn't have made a difference. I would be happy to pay a monthly charge to watch The Hallmark Channel if offered, did suscribe to Spirt Clips to get a small fix but it isn't enough. It's stupid that two companies can't resolve this. In researching AT&T has been steadly growing over the past 3 years probably all those leaving crappy companies, and one would think that Hallmark parent company would take notice. So I turn to Lifetime, AMC, and Turner for the classics. And maybe Hallmark will be offered on other venues like HULU and ITunes.

I am supposed to switch from Directv to Uverse next week. I have been watching Hallmark all month because of all their holiday movies. I was surprised when I didn't see this channel on the Uverse lineup. They have so many obscure channels, you think they could work out a deal with a more mainstream service. I might have to postpone my switch until after the holidays.
They have been at loggerheads for three years. How sad.
