It is true. I got the confirmation from our alerts this morning. Only the DVR (or 1 standard STB) will be free starting 4/20/08. All other STBs will have a $5 fee. This will only happen if you order is placed after 4/20/08, anything before that will still get 3 STBs free. *hint hint* *wink wink* lol
I have just check out ATT U-Verse Website and they are only Offering 1 Free HD DVR and no more Free Turners. In the Pass I was recommending ATT U-Verse to all my Family and friends who 'for now' sticking with SDTV. But now I am going to tell them to either Stick with comcast or switch to Dish or Directv.
Even their Retail Baker Channel 9000 (Now why I don't know I getting this channel. Since I Currently do not live in a ATT Retail Store or Do not sell U-Verse from My Apt. and It repeats the same Message every minutes 24/7) The New video now reflects the new 1 Free HD DVR no more Free Turners Offers. |

Well that stinks. That will effect if I switch or not for sure. That is when it becomes available.

I agree. I have 6 TV's in my home and 1 pc that has a TV tuner card. I understand that analog will eventually go away but the primary reason why I keep cable is for the basic channels without using any cable boxes. I only need a cable box for premium channels on 1-2 TVs.
I wish Uverse had a solution for this type of home setup that wouldnt require $5 ($35 for me not counting HD content) a pop per TV, especially when I only need standard basic cable channels on most TVs (CNN, TNT, ESPN, etc...) |

| Well I guess I am staying with DISH. I have 4 TV's but I use the 322 multi room receiver so I only pay $5 a month fee for the one additional receiver to have the additional 3 TV's hooked up.

I don't get it. U-Verse is not really competing on price...they're certainly not competing on features...
What's left?

Cable and sat should drop the fee to $2 - $3 per box. |

That sucks. The service is only available for a very small fraction of their customers, and they eliminate one of the few things that would make it more price competitive with cable.
Uverse isn't up in my area, but with other areas around me now on, it shouldn't be long. I currently have seven televisions connected to Time Warner (only two with boxes). Maybe a couple of those sets don't need to be hooked up, but that still leaves five televisions. If I need to pay for four additional receivers, I'll probably not bother with Uverse. Some here may have problems with Time Warner, but they're OK. |

I love it. I still have the flyer I got in the mail in March that has the 3 free boxes on it. Valid until 5/24/08 ("offers subject to change without notice"). So really, valid until we decide it's not. |

I went today to an AT&T/Cingular store and ordered. I asked about the extra receivers and they gave them to me with no extra charge. I was told they could do it till May 24th. Getting it installed Saturday morning. |
