Re: Question
said by jgkolt  :you have 4+ streams that can be viewed independently on any stb that is hooked up in the home. Hmmm... sounds like a "dressed up" way for them to rent you more boxes.
I recently downgraded from 2 boxes down to a single box because of costs. For 2 (soon to be 3) people, I think this is reasonable.

| Well I dont pay for any of my dvr's or set top boxes, they are included in the plan, so i doesnt really effect us. Unless things have changed i dont see that being a reason. I have heard it is possible for 7-8 stb's but i dont see how that is possible at the moment, at least in my market.

| you can do 8 boxes... 4 streams/SD.. so all 8 tv's will only have the option to stream/watch the same stream as another tv is watching. Also, the 2SD and 2HD streams will mix that up as well.

AT&T's Uverse service already requires that every TV have a set top box, so AT&T is not trying to push additional boxes. Whole Home DVR is just a great added free benefit for all subscribers, one that they hope will give them a leg up on the cable companies. |

| And maybe satisfy some promises they made to customers who want to record in one room and watch in another.
My wizard of an installer ran the signal from STB through vcr to the television sets and told me to program the recording on the vcr and assured me it would be fine pending delivery of whole-house DVR.
I was gullible and he got out of the house before I figured out it won't work unless you are there to start and stop the recording.  And, can't watch one channel while recording another at that location.
