<description><![CDATA[Ouch, is this why I've had pixellation and freezes over the past two days?
  

Corrected Blocks:  777889401  52971916  2104197  0:00:01

Do I need to be concerned about this error rate?  

They seem to be relentless and don't seem to be stopping, but so far the video looks fine this evening.]]></description>

<title>2WIRE 3800HGV-B &#x26;amp; 2 Linksys Routers w/ Tomato</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23341600</link>
<description><![CDATA[So here's the deal.

Right now my problems are as follows with the current setup.

1. The Wireless doesn't reach the entire house.  Not even close.
2. The XBox Media Center no longer works since it was switched to a Power to RJ11 connection.

Here's the current setup & my preferred setup. [See more notes below images.

  

  

I have already configured and tested the 2 Linksys routers with the Tomato firmware.  I did this during the time when I had Time Warner Cable installed.  

What I need to figure out is how to get them on the network to support the DVR, XBox360, & Wireless Devices.]]></description>

<title>Getting U-verse internet by itself.</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23363151</link>
<description><![CDATA[I have asked about this, and done some research and it seems that this is not allowed, though some say they have ordered it with the TV and canceled afterward. 

I personally am happy with free OTA and DVD TV, and I see no reason to pay for the extra TV that doesn't interest me in the least. I find such a requirement akin to extortion, seeing as how they are one of the few privileged companies that are allowed to run cables and fiber to provide such services, and am considering rallying complaints against these practices. I was happy when Comcast dropped their policy regarding subscription to TV service in this area.

I wonder if AT&T has plans in the near future to drop the greedy attitude and provide their services in a more reasonable and fair fashion? Requiring one to purchase television service in order to be serviced with higher quality internet is completely absurd IMO!]]></description>

<title>Uversecentral voicemail .wav files can&#x27;t be played</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23364017</link>
<description><![CDATA[I have tried playing downloaded voicemail messages in Quicktime, Windows Media Player, and Real Player to no avail.  I have no trouble downloading the .wav files, but I am shocked that the above 3 media players cannot play a standard .wav file.  What does one have to do to play the files!?!]]></description>

<title>U-Bar: Traffic - Territory</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23377649</link>
<description><![CDATA[U-Bar's traffic content is apparently based upon the zip code associated with the BAN and is therefore not user configurable.

U-Bar documentation states:
Traffic data on the U-bar is based on your Zip code and cannot be customized. https://www.att.com/esupport/article.jsp?sid=KB400944

Who's the reporting agency/source that provides the content? 

I'm unclear on the scope/territory for the traffic report(s).  Since my BAN zip code is not the same as that for my preferred traffic "market," I wanted to see whether the content differs for a neighboring zip code.  ]]></description>

<title>max rate went up</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23356892</link>
<description><![CDATA[I think my U-verse is enjoying the colder weather--my max rate went from the usual 59-61 Mbps to 83 Mbps!

Given I'm 1400-1500 feet from the VRAD and in old neighborhood (my house was built in 1929) with with older aerial telephone wires...kind of odd.

Current Rate: &#9;&#9;25216 kbs &#9;&#9;2048 kbs
Max Rate: &#9;&#9;83888 kbs &#9;&#9;Not Available
Current Connection:
Current Noise Margin: &#9;&#9;25.5 dB &#9;&#9;Not Available
Current Attenuation: &#9;&#9;19.1 dB &#9;&#9;Not Available
Current Output Power: &#9;&#9;13.7 dBm &#9;&#9;-16.5 dBm ]]></description>

<title>uverse tv questions</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23376667</link>
<description><![CDATA[O.K. So I've searched the forum here and find conflicting answers to some questions. I think it's just a matter of people not being clear in their respective specific setups.

I see some people say that to get uverse they need to disconnect your dsl service. I have ATT phone and Att dsl service. I would like to get the Att Uverse TV service, but nothing else, no bundles, no voice, etc. In other words, keep the phone and dsl package I have now and get Uverse TV. Is this possible without disconnecting my existing dsl service?

Also I have one observation. When looking at the channel lineups, I'll either be getting the U200 or U300. Basically the "only" difference is a bunch of movie channels. NASA, BET gospel, big deal. With ONE exception. Planet Green. Even when I subscribe to the HD service AND HD premium tier I can't watch Planet Green? I probably watch that channel more than all others combined. Are there any plans of changing this? I can't see spending another $15 a month for what is essentially (for me) just one channel as I could care less about the movies,etc. I see there are some ATT techs on this forum, couldn't you suggest to at least just add it to the premium tier? With all the energy politics on conservation reform in the news it would be good public relations for ATT to show they are doing their part by at least helping to get some good info out on Planet Green. 

For everyone else, I'm not going all green on you guys, it just seems strange to me that the channel is grouped with all the movie channels for another $15. That and there's alot of interesting things on there that I've learned to do myself to save some money.

Any input on the dsl issue is greatly appreciated.]]></description>

<title>Caller ID on TV available now</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23363070</link>
<description><![CDATA[Caller ID on TV seems to be available now... it works for me, at least! :) Under the Services menu item, there's a "Caller ID for TV" sub-item that lets you turn CID on/off, and also a setting for VM notifications on the TV.

I'm in the Austin, TX area...]]></description>

<title>Is AT&#x26;amp;T going to phase out ADSL where this is U-verse</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23374151</link>
<description><![CDATA[I was wondering something:

Is AT&T going to phase out the ability to order ADSL where there is U-verse?  Or will they continue to support it as a backup for Internet-only access for those that are too far from a VRAD?

AT&T now lets you order U-verse Internet-only online and I could see AT&T wanting to phase out ADSL equipment (assuming they get a lower-cost VDSL modem for Internet-only customers).  One negative for the consumer I could see with an ADSL phase out is stranding the minority who is too far from the VRAD or those that are super latency sensitive (gamers). 

Another reason I could see AT&T wanting to phase ADSL is that the re-wiring the premise techs do for U-verse often would render it incompatible with an ADSL self-install.

Thoughts?]]></description>
