Member  5452    NC |  Subject: AT&T U-verseAnyone using this that can comment on likes/dislikes? We're considering switching from Time Warner to save a few bucks and also pick up Universal. The ability to use the DVR on both TV's sounds nice as well. Any downsides? |

Pro 5761 Bartlett, TN | Subject: RE: AT&T U-verse I have had U verse for about 3 weeks now and I like it. I was on DirecTV but I got tired of the cost and it going out when it rained. Things I like about U verse:
wireless DVR- means I can move it anywhere in the house Watch what I recorded anywhere- I know you can do this with other companies, but I could not with the DirecTV setup I had. So I like watching something downstairs, then heading upstairs to finish it.
As far as what I do not like... I have already had to sync up the downstairs DVR cause it lost the signal for some reason, It only took a few minutes once I figured out what I was suppose to do. And once I learn all the channel numbers, not sure I will have much to complain about.
Overall I like it |

Pros: multi-room DVR Wireless receiver (can move it anywhere as long as the wifi reaches) recording 3 shows while watching one Good on-demand selection - PPV and subscription channels Not a lot of outages/U-verse issues Cons: Tech support can suck....especially at night.....when your DVR goes out and you call and are connected to a far away land Had some hardware issues and lost a DVR full of shows |

Veteran 306 Austin | Subject: RE: AT&T U-verse I've had UVerse for about 3 years. Pros: - channels - DVR will record 3 different shows at a time and I can watch a 4th - no problems with outages - combined TV/Internet - selection of OnDemand programs Cons: - price! I started out with a great introductory offer paying $108/month for TV and Internet bundle, I now pay $161/month with no added features. I understand they all have introductory prices, but an almost $60/month hike after a years worth of service is a bit much. I have heard you can call and threaten cancellation and they will give you a better rate, but I personally have not tried. |

Introductory email I just received is $49/month (with one year required) with some fine print charges. Standard rate AT&T rep printed out for us was $102. This is the second tier package without HBO. I would call if I were you. Edited by Goosedog 2013-09-09 6:45 PM |

I've had TW forever and I have fast internet but one of the lower TV channel plans (including HD). I want to switch to U-Verse, but they make it tough by advertising their introductory rates online which look awesome. However, after doing a ton more research, it seems their lowest TV plan with HD plus a mid-range internet packages will certainly be more than my Time Warner. I realize they allow more simultaneous DVRing of shows and whole house DVR which are nice upgrades from my TW package, but I am not sure now what I want to do. Part of me switching to U-Verse is under the assumption I pay as much or less than TW and that doesn't seem possible (from what I can tell).

You'll talk with someone. Explain your situation and see what they will do. I do this about every 7-8 months and either get the price reduced and/or bump in service. Also....Goosedog....since I was first to respond....do I get your referral? haha.... |
