Re: U-verse hmmm, not so sure that you have your "facts" straight on this post.
I'm a recent subscriber to U-verse.
- U-Verse 200+HBO package
- MAX18 Internet service
- VoIP phone unlimited use package.
DVR technology seems good to me, but I am not a "power TV" user
44 HD channels
Once the local loop wiring techs came out 2nd time, the signal was good (no pixellation and solid/consistent 16.3/1.4 internet speeds)
$25 less per month than my prior Dish/ATT DSL/Comcast Phone combined bill for the same services |

| 44 HD channels? U-verse has more than 75 channels in most markets. They're in the process of adding around 9 more. They have several that DirecTV doesn't have. If they ever manage to complete their Viacom and Disney agreements they will actually have a stronger HD lineup than DirecTV.
DirecTV does have a great HD lineup, but their numbers are inflated by the inclusion of 17 PPV HD channels. Cable and U-verse don't need to match that, as VOD is a better distribution method for PPV HD.
Interestingly, DirecTV is missing almost all of the HBO HD premiums except the E/W feeds of the primary HBO one. They could add at least 10 more HD channels if they did what they said they were going to do in a 2007 press release!

Livermore, CA | Thanks for the correction on the U-Verse HD channel count. As you can tell by my original post I was offering a pro U-Verse reply, however mis-informed, not a criticism. I am perfectly happy with my service so far (1 month). |
