I find myself often in the situation where the livingroom DVR is recording from two HD channels, and me in my office/computer room wanting to surf on another TV.... although I believe in some areas they are up to 4 HD streams now, that limitation has kept me from trying it. I have 50 channels with TWC, and I'd like to be able to record two, and still watch a third one please and ATT Direct tv has up 150 up 200 by the end of the year with no household at the same time HD limit. | |

kudos:1 | The third is rumored to be happening before too long and once pair bonding comes out you should be able to do 4-6 per house. | |

I was so po'ed when SE Cable decided to add QVC HD. We need Discovery HD so I can see Mythbusters in HD instead of going over to my friend's house (he has FiOS). | |

It's easy to shout that you have 100 HD channels if getting 50 of them is going to cost you $50 a month extra. | |

| | | | | | I'm in Canyon Country like you ( Valencia, CC, Newhall are all really Santa Clarita, CA). I have the U400 package, and I still would have to pay more for a few HD channels ( Smithsonian HD, UHD, and something else... ) It's a lot of junk and a LOT of money to pay and we're still missing a few must have channels... It's much better than what I have in my D.C. condo with Comcast, though... | |

All my opinion, but that's what I've seen recently... | |

| U-verse high def sucks The picture quality of U-Verse HD is by far sub par to any cable or satellite HD that I've ever seen. I watched the superbowl at a friends house that has it and it was strange. When the picture would quickly change it seemed like the image would have to build itself. | |

Woodstock, GA | Bellsouth had a better quality I worked on the Bellsouth IPTV trial and I saw Direct TV on a 50 inch HDTV next to a Bellsouth IPTV on a 50 inch HDTV and the Bellsouth IPTV was much better. Bellsouth was using ADSL2+ and MMX, with ADSL2+ we were getting speeds of 35-40MB at 4000-5000 ft and with MMX we were getting speeds of 80MB, "before it was throttled at the Radius server", after it was throttled we had 40-50MB at 3000-4000 ft. At the time they were using MPEG 2 compression and planed to move to MPEG 4. But all of that changed when ATT took over and went to VDSL 1.5 not VDSL2 but 1.5, they could only get top speeds of 24MB at 2000-3000 ft. I do understand changing to what the rest of the company is already using and supporting. But when you have a technology working better, faster and at longer distances at least keep what you have in that area so you can compare. | |

Houston, TX | Re: Bellsouth had a better quality In fact U-verse HD looks much better than Comcast here in Houston. Though, some channels look on Comcast better than on U-Verse (only national networks for some reason). Macroblocking on Comcast is very bad here. And i compared them side by side.
Also, for about a year ago, before U-verse implemented a new compression, Comcast used to be superior over U-verse. | |
