| Re: U-Verse Phase II rollouts - post if you have it Sorry if this is considered a double post since I posted about it last week but I got the new upgrade in Austin Texas.
There was a weird double notification in that I got an update notice on screen last week and another today. I know I'm in the test area (A big portion of AT&T labs that handles U-verse is in Austin apparently) so that may be it. | |

| Posts over on the u-talk forums indicate that the Phase II rollout is coming westward. A poster from Palmdale, CA indicated he's got the new firmware, as well as a couple others.
So post here if you've gotten it!  | |

Second is trying to schedule/delete a recording from the STB. | |

I got it, the interface is lightly different. I hit record and I can record from my Non DVR box  I don't know how to stop it... I can not pause live TV. | |

| There is also another change. When I was trying to get my IR Blaster to work with the box I found a hidden menu it was a menu of the zoom level and SAP.
They have revealed that menu in place of the od toggle button. Hitting zoom/Enter when not doing another operation will bring up this zoom/SAP menu. | |

| Replied on another thread zip 60805 got it, but then when I went to my neighbor's across the street the update has not gone through (I even unplugged the RG and all STB (since they were having TV problems)).
So, I can now say, err type, parts of Evergreen Park (60805) have it  | |

| Re: U-Verse Phase II rollouts - post if you have it Got it in Hinsdale (60521) at 12:08 am 6/25/09. Two slight improvements I see are:
1-Channels seem to change more quickly than before. Maybe this is due to another change/upgrade in network. Also the system info screens have additional information.
2-The "skip" button seems to work a little bit more smoothly than the previous (downgrade from instant) skip function.
BTW- I don't believe that being able to pause live TV from non-dvr stb will ever be implemented (at least with 2SD/2HD profile) since it would mean that if two people were watching an HD program on different sets, then a third show could not be recorded. | |

In part you've answered your own question. If your are watching 2hd programs on 2 sets and then scheduled another HD program to record then once that show's scheduled time arrived I'm sure you would be prompted to either ignore the recording or end one of your HD programs being watched | |

Being able to "pause" shouldn't limit the number of live streams but it won't get you any more either.
I think (and I will try today) I should be able to get very close to the "pause live TV experience" by just pressing RECORD from the non-DVR STB and then watching the recorded stream. That can be paused/rewound/fast forwarded in real time. Again limited by the max number of concurrent live streams. | |

I pretty much do the same thing from main STB when I want to watch a show in "near real time" sans commercials. I record it and start watching show/game 15 minutes later. By the time it is over I have "caught up" with real show. | |

1 edit | I was out of town on business from the 23rd to 26th (Friday) and I found it had installed during that time in 92782. What a mess! The update had messed up the settings on my brand new Bravia LCD badly and I still haven't gotten it to look as good as when I left.
No, my wife had not made any changes...she's not technically savvy. Whatever is on the screen looks fine to her. I found that the UVerse had set the HD to 480p, so that went back to 1080i, which helped, but the screen still doesn't look as crisp as before.
Has anyone else experienced this??

| Re: System changed by upgrade...a mess! Dan,
I didn't experience this issue at all during my upgrade. I have 3 HDTVs and all STB's retained their settings for 1080i/720p. It could have been a one off issue. What kind of STB's do you have? Motorola or Cisco boxes? Granted this is just my experience and I can't speak for what specifically happened in your case. | |

It's a Motorola box, but I just wanted to give a heads up to any others who get surprised.

| Re: System changed by upgrade...a mess! After the Phase 2 update, you may have to reset the Aspect Ratio on the DVR and STB's and select the type of audio output (stero or surround sound) from the System Options menu. AT&T send a message to each of my boxes reminding me to check those settings after the update. Also, this information is shown on Channel 400 (AT&T U-verse TV Updates). | |

Altadena, CA | I would bet that if you're TV is connected via HDMI, then you have to reset your 1080/720 setting, but if it's connected via component you do not.
I have my set connected via component, and the upgrade maintained my setting (1080i). | |
