This could be interesting. AT&T Uverse is not their own product. Uverse is Microsoft MediaRoom platform. Sue AT&T over the Uverse DVR and you’re directly bringing Microsoft into the battle.

Wall Street Journal is saying this ruling is specifically the "workaround" Article - WSJ.com

I guess Dish buys thier leagal services in bulk. It's in the 3rd isle next to the 80lbs bags of dog food.

At most this ruling gives a little negotiating power to Dish to settle the lawsuit and reach a licensing agreement. First USPTO did not invalidate the patent. They issued a preliminary ruling that Dish’s workaround doesn’t infringe on those patents. It has nothing to do with the validity of...

I got the same deal. I told them I was considering leaving DTV because of all the equipment trouble and they offered an extra $100 to sign up. In the end I got a $200 check and a $100 visa gift card. Recived them both before even the first bill was due.

I think phase two has improved the HD quality quite a bit. I used to say it was 95% of DTV now I would say it's 99%. Most HD stuff looks better than DTV now but Uverse is still over compressing when the video is very dark, like a night sky with only a few stars you’ll see blocking. I'm betting...

by time shift I mean pause or rewind live tv.

Uverse is different than other services. Your house gets 2 hd and 2 sd streams. You can use these on any number of boxes you choose. (hd streams can be used as SD, so you could view 4 sd streams and no hd streams) A house can have one DVR and the remaining boxes are salve boxes off the...

U-Verse use cables and equipment installed in or on public easements which subjects them to state and local taxes. Satellite does not. BTW... the badwidth used by U-Verse Tv does not go over the internet. It is segmented totally within AT&T's network.

I did have the protection plan. I don't know if it was a screw up and rep was just talk out his as* like normal or is this a real thing. They waived the fee so I don't care.

They wavied the fee and credited it back to me. After 30 minutes the rep came back on and just said they would wave it. Supervisor never did get on the line.

Below are the taxes and surcharges on my bill. Surcharges Description Amount 16. IL Local Video Service Franchise Fee 5.09 17. IL Local Video Facilities Fee 1.02 Total Surcharges 6.11

Canceled DirecTV last month after switching to Uverse and just got a $360 charge on my credit card. On hold now for a supervisor but the rep is telling that replacing my defective receiver in January restarted my two year commitment. He says “that’s how it works, any receiver change, add...

The skip seems to depend on where you live. In west suburbs of Chicago with the Cisco box the skip is a true skip and is 36 seconds in length. The back is a true skip back and in 7 seconds in length. The important thing to remember is the service you get is not based on the number of boxes...

I have the Cisco box and it's a true skip, it 36 seconds however. I just press the skip button and it pretty much instantly 36 seconds forward.

I've yet to figure out the logic of U-verse's 36 second skip. As for the broadcast flag. It's in there all new DVRs are required to have it. As for sneeking in, U-verse is Microsoft's Media Room platform, it's not customized it's just branded.

I actually have to admit the installers did an excellent job on mine. Now mine was pretty simple because my house is wired for network but none the less they mounted the RG in the garage neatly, mounted the power supply in my wiring center, and ran all the cables nice and neat. Even replaced...

This is definitely your mileage may very part of the system. Personally my ping times are 10 to 20% lower than my Comcast connection was. DOCIS 3.0 ( does seem to increase Comcast ping times. Now this just might be my experience and in my overbuilt area. In Counter Strike my ping times with...

ATT dropped thier TV requiments for internet. You can now get U-verse internet with out TV service and they don't nail you with a an extra fee like comcast is doing to me. Only real catch is if you don't order tv they don't wave the $149 install charge. Over at anohter fourm site (not sure if...

I had u-verse installed about two weeks ago and am very impressed so far, figured what the hell with their 30 day free offer. I'm in the Chicago suburbs and The SD PQ is probably 125 to 150% of DirecTV but HD is only 90 to 95%. I would call the HD quality good but not excellent. Head to head...

I have had Netflix and Blockbuster since they both pretty much started (long story). They both have draw backs and advantages. Netflix streaming is the only reason I'm keeping them. At most I would get one Blu-Ray a month, everything is always a long wait. For $1 per month I didn't mind...

Yes, it would. You can buy one for $600 or sign a two year deal, only options. If you want HD with out DVR then you have no options, they don't sell a HD non-DVR box.

(1) Built the house 4 years ago (2) Entertainment center is on a dedicated circuit (3) Only things on this circuit is a Monster Power Surge Suppressor, Plasma TV, Receiver, Wii, and Xbox 360 (4) no lighting at all on this circuit.

One crashed during a software update, two where replaced for the same issue of them locking up every two to three days (which after the second they said this is a "known problem with the HR-20/21), one was a failed hard drive, one was an RMA the was bad out of the box (loud grinding noise), and...
