    Switching From Dish to at&t U-Verse tv service

    I left DISH and went to U-verse back in 2008. After a year with U, I dumped that crappy service and now have Comcast. At least in the Chicago area, more channels, shaper HD PQ, and faster internet.

    Review: AT&T U-VERSE

    I had U-verse and hd pq was the worst out of Comcast,DISH, and DIRECTV. The hd stream thing get worse if you are recording hd while trying to watch hd on multiple tv's. Recording counts against the hd available.

    Will we get more channels??

    Now that COMCAST has taken over NBC, does anyone know if we will now get some additional channels?? Specifically SLUETH & CHILLER(we don't have them here on my COMCAST lineup) which are owned by NBC.

    XFinity in Chicago

    I've used it to set up recording some the faves I had been with U-verse. No problems at for me. Rather easy. I got the triple play. When I left U-verse I was paying 228 a month. Had their tv. inertrnet, phone with top tv package. Now at Comcast I'm at 179 and it won't change for two years. I...

    XFinity in Chicago

    I recently dumped U-verse and went to Comcast. First off, sharper HD PQ. They have MLB Network and NBA TV which U-verse didn't have. VOD library is more than any other provider. I had dumped DISH back in 08 for U-verse. Terrible customer service, the sd channels were almost unwatchable, hd not...

    Should I get U-Verse (or stick with Dish Network)?

    I dumped DISH last fall for U-verse and couldn't be happier. U-versre blows DISH away in the television department. This is a company that continues to expand and improve their product unlike the cheap and fading DISH;)

    POTS vs. U-Verse

    I got U-verse last Oct. and since then the HD PQ has improved beyond my expectations. Not only that but the SD channels PQ are better then any service(I've had them all) I've ever had. U-verse recently improved the performance of the HD DVR. This is a service that is continuing to improve .

    Just switched to Uverse.

    One of the several reasons I dumped DISH for U-verse was that they tried to make me take a two year commitment to get an additional hd dvr. With U-verse ZERO COMMITMENT! With the way Charlie dumps stations who wants to be locked into a two year gig. My hd dvr from U-verse is outstanding and the...

    Just switched to Uverse.

    I had the same experience when I dumped DISH for U=verse. Not much difference in the hd pq, but the difference in the sd pq was like night and day. DISH sd is almost unwatchable. Also, with the incentives, I'm paying 162 a month with the everything tv package, with hd , upgraded internet, and...

    U-verse questions

    I have had U-verse since late since last Oct. Not only has U-verse added many HD channels, the PQ has gotten much better, especially recently. Currently you can watch hd on two sets at once, three may be possible by later this year.

    Warning about UVERSE

    I dumped DISH for U-verse. However, I left my DISH active until U-Verse was up and running then waited a few days to terminate service with DISH. I had no problem doing that.

    Review: AT&T U-VERSE

    I live in Orland Park and dropped DISH for U-verse. HD pq about the same, but U-verse has many more HD stations. The system can handle two hd streams at present, possibly three in the near future. I didn't have any comparison with Direct HD.

    Review: AT&T U-VERSE

    I did the same. Kept my DISH up and running until the U-verse was good to go. Just to make sure, I waited until the next day to call DISH and cancel. By the way, my install took about 4 hours. The phone part wasn't working right and a tech showed up the next day and had that going in about 15...

    Review: AT&T U-VERSE

    Yea, I noticed that item about Comcast boosting internet speeds with no increase in price .While the internet speed I have with U-verse(elite) is more than adequete for my needs, it will be interesting to see how AT&T responds.

One of the posters got through to an official with the Blackhawks. This was a total mess caused by AT&T as the game should not have...
