clubs: | THDVR THDVR will work on either the Motorola or Cisco boxes, it doesn't really matter which as they will both have the same software loaded on them and THDVR is purely software driven. | |

| u-verse gateway seems like you found a useful feature in the gateway. My installer kept all of the books/paperwork on my RG. It would be nice if you tell how you got your stats out of this equipment. I have the 3800 model.
If you know where to find a documentation on this device I would appreciate knowing where to get it.
Thank you so much PW | |

1 edit | Re: How do the connections work? The TV boxes can be hooked up with either RG6 which leaves all 4 open ethernet ports on the gateway open for any wired ethernet devices.
Or you can use Cat5 for up to 4 boxes to the 4 ethernet ports on the back of the gateway.
The regular STB's and the DVR are the same as far as how they can be hooked up, RG6 or Cat5.
I currently have 3 computers and a Linksys PAP2 VOIP phone adapter wired to my RG and all 3 of my TV's are using RG6 comcast installed over 2 years ago when we had their service. | |

@sbcglobal.net | no contract? How did you manage no contract? Everyone I know who has it (including myself) were forced into a contract, and did not offer 'no contract'. Is this something new? Or something offered in the past? | |

1 edit | Re: no contract? When I signed up(in Sept 08'), there was no special cheaper monthly promotion for TV or internet. And with the U200 TV package or higher the DVR is included, so you only pay a fee for each additional receiver you have besides the DVR.
Have you tried posting in the AT&T Uverse forum about this before? | |

| Re: no contract? That pretty much how they been. The Stanton, MI server on speedtest.net can suck during the day. My best speeds on it where late nights. The Kalamazoo, MI server or Chicago, IL I've found to be much better.
But 137ms pings is not good. You may want to post in the Uverse forums here and see if the guys in there can diagnose the issue. | |

| Uverse User Report Although the small satellite tuner in the bedroom works really well with the remote - you don't even need to point it at the box - the main dvr box is sometimes hit and miss with the remote. We've swapped remotes, and it is definitely either the dvr sensor or something else. Does anyone else have that problem or am I the only lucky one?
Been a Uverser user for nearly 2 months. No freezing or other problems as reported here. After having been a Tivo user for nearly 10 years, I miss Tivo's smarter interface, but couldn't wait until 2010 for them to hook up with Directv(if they ever do). I LOVE that you can access the dvr from other tvs in the house - something Tivo and the others cannot do. The HD and audio is flawless. I have no idea how many hours it records, and have about 60+ shows now (mostly HD). Also LOVE that we can record 4 shows at once. Never thought I'd use this feature but have taken advantage of that feature. Also love the strong wireless signal that we're using for laptops and iPhones. Also LOVE that I can view pics that I've loaded on my ATT Yahoo account with ???. Wish Uverse were cheaper though. | |

ATT Client
@cox.net
| Cancelling att We already have cable/tv/HD with Cox.
Wanted to try att, but decided to cancel for the following reasons:
1. The physical layer (the cable) was not installed in my apartment, when att salesperson said it was already there.
2. The iphone app (which salesman lead client to believe) that allows remote control movie recording never materialized.
3. The overall price for services was more expensive than the current carrier.
4. Client disatisfaction due to above items got att Fired. | |
