Uverse related apps

The uverse app and any app associated with my u200 channels will not run on any of my iOS devices. The error message says I am not allowed to view this content. I have tried multiple chats with ATT reps and all they will tell me is it’s an app issue. No it is a uverse issue. The apps are not recognizing my uverse subscription. Someone on the forum suggested that my subscription package needs to be reactivated or reauthorized on my gateway but no one at ATT has suggested that or have been able to provide a solution.

  4. Uninstall and reinstall the app
  5. Verify you have the latest software/ operating system on your phone or tablet

I followed all these recommended steps and the uverse app still doesn’t work. When I try to run the app I get a message “data is temporarily unavailable”. I get the same message on both my iPhone and my new iPad 6th gen device. When I try another app such as FOX News I get this message “UNAUTHORIZED. Unfortunately, you are not authorized to play this content. Please contact your provider” I am subscribed to uverse U200 package.

I am still unable to run the uverse app on my iOS device or any app associated with any channel in my u200 uverse package. The last agent I chatted with 3 weeks ago told me my issue would be elevated to management and I would hear from someone within 48 hours. I have not heard from anyone and my issue has not been corrected. I will be cancelling my Uverse internet and tv and switch to Mediacom so I can stream apps on my iOS devices.

I spent an hour and a half today chatting with an ATT agent concerning the issue I am having running apps on my iOS devices (iPhone and iPad).  That kept telling me that this is an issue with my iOS device. I explained to the agent exactly what I am seeing. When I try to watch a video on my iPad of ESPN Sports Center I get the following message: “You are not authorized to play this content. Please contact your provider”. So I contact my provider, ATT, and they denied that this was an ATT issue. This agent had no clue that their uverse had any control of what I am able to stream through the ATT modem/internet. This issue started when ATT switched my service to the “new, fiber” that supposedly would be better. It is faster but now I cannot use my iOS devices to stream any app that is related to a channel provided in my ATT Uverse package. If anyone out there has any suggestions to correct this issue will be greatly appreciated since no one at ATT has any idea how to resolved this issue they caused.
