Interesting. For me the DVR is the one that locks up and freezes not the clients. I have had it for 3 months, and I am thinking of going back to DirectTV. I agree picture wise DirectTV is the best. Kind of sorry I left them.

Yup, absolutely right, the first technician didn't know the capabilities. Everything works including initiating a recording from the non-DVR to the DVR. They are a huge company, but they really have to improve their communications among their employees

It was a single issue. Person came out changed the old cables, and everything is working like charm. Hardware was fine.

I have 1 HD DVR and 3 HD non DVRs. For a couple of days I was having issues where programs were being recorded with a lot of pixelations, and I could not tune to certain stations, getting error code 18. I reset all the receivers, along with the DVR. All the receivers came up fine but the DVR...

That worked Dave thanks.

Hi SuperDave. What you refer to as the enter key when setting the jump ahead or jump back with the page up/page down key, do you mean [OK]? When tried that it just selected channel 30 Definitely, starting to get use to the guide and remote Thanks

No I didn't know that Dave. I also am not real thrilled about there guid either. I have had Dish, Direct, Uverse, and even the old Motorola receivers with Comcast, and in all those cases the guides were much more user friendly. Less clutter, and more information about a show before you...

Boy am I glad I did not cancel DirectTV. Comcast has has less HD content then DirectTV then I was led to believe. For example, they only have 1 HD channel for HBO. What is up with that? ATT Uverse, Dish, and DirectTV have multiple HD HBO channels. I have a 30 day return policy, so just...

Hi grantsa4: Actually I think it is a pretty good deal. 4 receivers, 1 HD/DVR with whole house DVR, HD digital preferred + starz, unlimited phone, and internet, 25 mbs, + HBO for 120/month for two years. They are letting me buy the emts modem/router to cover the phone and internet. After...

I got a similar deal to what you have Super Dave. They will install tomorrow. However the eMTA modem for internet and phone they are letting me purchase it and avoid the monthly rental. You can also purchase it at Best Buy. Comcast does not force you to rent the modems, at least that is what...

I just left UVERSE for Direct. I left, not because of the TV quality, but because of their billing procedures, and customer support. A few days ago I received a letter from them to come back to UVERSE, but it won't happen. DirectTV now has whole home DVR which allows one to record and view...

You story is very similar to mine I too still am keeping Dish, but the service with Dish is the welcome package. What is really bothering me about UVERSE though is their billing system. I NEVER signed up for paperless, and I am continually trying to get them to send me a paper bill...

Thanks aaron12 for your impressions both before and now I have no major complaints with Uverse, and expect it to only get better You are right the whole home DVR is great, I hope they provide a non-DVR receiver to start a recording, which is my only major gripe From my experience, the...

Well aaron12, how do you like it so far?

wellze. I just recently got Uverse, and it has been good for me, but keep in mind no service out there doesn't have there issues I still have Dish, but have downgraded to very basic service. My biggest gripe with Dish is you never know when they are going to play one of their games, and a...

lern4483 I hear you. But whether Dish has superior HD or not, its the games that Charlie plays are crap. It is always a surprise to determine which stations Charlie will decide not to broadcast I have both Dish and Uverse, and have now downgraded my Dish subscription to minimum. As I said...

I would never presume to tell someone what service they should or should not have I agree, the Dish DVR hardware is now superb, and it should be after their initial release of HD DVR receivers like the 921, was such a major disappointment, you would hope they would have learned from that...

I am looking at both right now, and I don't see it I believe you, but it is not happening to me, and I have a 42", 37", 40", and 26" screens Either my vision is not sensitive as yours, or my setup doesn't exhibit it

The external hard drive is not a show stopper to me If it is for you, then don't get Uverse, Direct, or cable, because none of them have that As far as the slingbox, why would I want to "buy" another device, which is not trivial to hook up, to do remote recording? If that is Dish's...

It is not BS. Uvserse works well if you are at the right location. You can record 4 similutaneous streams, 2 HD, 2SD. You can initiate a recordings remotely from the internet, and the selection of HD content from Uverse beats Dish by a mile. If everything is installed properly it is...

I am aware of it also wase, thanks

I am on the same page as you are Bagman, was quite impressed with uverse However, I wish you could initiate a recording from a non-DVR, which I hear will be coming in a future release

wase4711, I haven't had the issue you talk about with Comcast internet slowing down, and from what I can see you are absolutely correct, the uverse speed does seem remarkably consistent. For sure, you cannot beat the price of uverse internet compared to Comcast, and I suspect within a couple of...

I finally got UVERSE installed yesterday, and from my perspective I am pleasantly surprised I ordered U300 with 6 MEG internet. I ordered 4 receivers, and am about 1200 feet away from the VRAD. I had them leave my comcast and Dish service intact, and they used new coax to connect the Gateway...

So Zellio, have you tried UVERSE?
