    My land lady signed us up for their cable and Internet which I was super excited about until I came home and saw that I have no sports channels.

    We need a package for those and she hasn't ordered it yet.

    So tell me, especially you locals, what package could I get by with as a Sports lover.

    I need my Espn and FSN at least. I nearly cried when I came home and did not have them anymore.



    Any of you have package 400? How much better is that than package 200?
    What is the price difference?

    Do you actually get all the channels listed under package 400 or do some of those depend on where you live?

    The brochure is confusing and my land lady, not being a sports fan ( Horror I know) did not think to ask about the sports package.

    Thanks in advance for the help.

    We are leaning towards bundle 200.

    Thoughts?

    Oh my room mates are making fun of me.

    One even said, " No Sports channels, that's no big deal."

    Who are these people! :shudder

    i have the 400 and i'm quite content. i don't know what the price difference is compared to the 200 package. with the fastest internet they offer, and hd receiver i'm paying about $120 a month. it's about the same i paid with time warner, but way more channels. way better picture and more shows to record.

    Do you have any black out issues with the espn and fsn southwest?

    My land lady and I don't have a ton of money so I doubt I will be getting the 400 pack.
    I'll be happy to just have my normal sports channels back.

    Thank God we did this before the basketball season started!

    I pretty much am at the mercy of the national broadcast. if you get the U400 package you get all of the fox sports station and could probably catch most of the games there. i just laugh during the mavs games in the mean time.

    I have the U300. The only one, other than the PPV, which
    I wont pay for, is CSTV.

    You are going to love UVerse, great picture and great
    support from ATT, I mean that sincerely. If they
    can solve it at Tech Support, you will have a tech on
    site in no time flat. And none of the old TW crap, it's
    your TV, they find out what the problem is and fix it.
    No this is not a paid commercial. I just like it very much.

    The picture is great, and the rep we had help us with getting the 200 package was very helpful- stayed on the phone with us until we were sure all the televisions worked properly.

    So far, so good.

    Sorry Manu. I am NOT a time warner customer.

    Bad news about U-verse and local games. They have major blackout problems. FSN, ESPN and others. Here in Houston I could not watch the Yao vs. Yi matchup because of so called contractual agreements between ATT and FSN.

    Was the game not on a local Houston television station as well?

    ANGEL LUV - Are you in San Antonio? Like you, I'm no fan of Time Warner, and I don't want the hassle of satellite, so I'm wiating impatiently for U-Verse to come to my side of town. I live in the Sea World area.

    Nevermind, U-Verse is in my area now! Hopefully I won't have the install problems that SPURFECT had. Got the NFL Network for Thanksgiving along with U200 and HBO. Got free HD programming for a year, and other incentives. Call the main number for info 1800-288-2020.

    F.U. Time Warner!
