said by Metatron2008:Cable tv is transmitted using a combination fiber coax system.
So yes, Uverse IS cable tv, only it used ancient twisted pair coax instead of the newer stuff cable uses, and they cheap out on their installs.
And uverse uses iptv
Coax is almost as old as twisted pair! First patented within five years of Alexander G. Bell's telephony patent.
ADSL, OTOH is almost as new as DOCSIS; also just a few years apart.
