  • do you still have uverse? would you still recommend it?

  • @NY5tillMiCASA most def.

  • @MrJohndoe351 thanks because im moving and im thinking about getting this. Hows the internet, is it fast? i play games online too?

  • @NY5tillMiCASA The internet is unbearable to say the least, good luck playing games on it, god knows I couldn't for the longest time... The support techs are the most incompetent people I've ever dealt with as well. Save your money and your sanity...

  • @ubeasnika what Isp you got now, if you dont mind me asking?

  • @NY5tillMiCASA I have Comcast xfinity. My whole neighborhood was having huge problems with Uverse. I'm currently paying for the 12mbps internet package, but I'm getting 24mbps and it's completely stable, the speed never drops. When I was with Uverse my TV service would also cut out for a few seconds quite often making a mess of my recorded shows, I don't have that problem with Comcast. The whole bundle is about 5 bucks or so a month cheaper than Uverse as well.

  • @NY5tillMiCASA LOL. Old DLC is old generation ow xD. UVerse is the new stuff.

  • i sell this door to door with discounts and free install and sometimes $200 visa cards

  • @RVCAXD same here man...at&t solutions provider?

  • @RVCAXD I got one for free. AT&T provided me a  free one cause i got the latest DSL. So the said don't waste money, get the new UVERSE motorola for free. Gots it for free. with free installation! :)

  • who had a bad experience with at&t but we are a company that always try to upgrade and leave our costumers very satified! so please anyone who would like to jump on aboard with at&t u-verse family, ask me anything i will help you out. thank you god bless

  • okay for all the negative comments, i am a at&t representative, actually a at&t solution provider...when it comes to pricing you will get it at a special promotion i am not here to lie but after your bill will increase but guarantee you will want to pay after you experience our dvr benefits...play back live tv, record up to 4 shows, 233 hours of sd or 65 hours of hd content and growing!!! people who never have it and hear negative comments about it,, see it to believe it..sorry for the people

  • Exactly 2 shows at once and you have to be watching one to record the other, unlike uverse how you can rcord 4 shows at once and watch on any tv in the house. Also with comcast your HD Picture is in a compressed HD signal. Comcast has prob cut you a promo deal for 6 months if you have the exact same thing as uverse because regulatr cable charges you alot more for half the service

  • @okcboi "Half the service" :facepalm: go reread my other comments you blind idiot...

  • @ubeasnika dont have to I know comcast sucks, go read their blogs they are losing customers to ucverse everyday

  • @okcboi Go read the Uverse forums and you'll see the same thing... Next fail argument please?

  • @ubeasnika I dont read forums from what customers say I read blogs that comcast themselves put out, also uverse is the fastest growing cable service in the U.S. and its only been out for 4 years and comcast which has been out forever is now in a battle for customers, causer they know uverse bout to overtake them, uverse is just scratching the surface while comcast has been out for years and their service cant compete, lol u can recored only 2 shows at once.. where is their total home dvr??

  • @okcboi And where is Uverse's reliable internet service? Everyone who has Uverse in my area is switching to Comcast or other providers because of the garbage service they get. I wish I could also show you some of the TV recordings I had from AT&T where the feed cuts out every 3 minutes giving you 10-20 seconds of a blank screen. Don't have to deal with that kind of bullshit with Comcast! WHO CARES if you can record 4 shows at once if half the show is missing due to shitty service?

  • @ubeasnika please, i know what what is the fastest growing cable service in america, Verizon Fios and uverse going to take over

  • @okcboi Whatever floats your imaginary boat buddy.

  • @ubeasnika only facts

  • @ubeasnika infact it is a reliable service, mos likely our techs didnt do a good job in your home....our service is a dedicated network, not a shared network unlike comcast...so have fun switching over to comcast that their poor internet services fluctuates on you sir...good day

  • @MrJohndoe351 Read my other comments you idiot... I've had Comcast for 2 months now and my internet service is in a completely different league than AT&T, 100 times more reliable... On top of that my TV service doesn't short out every 3 minutes. I'm paying for the 12mbps package but I'm getting 24mbps and it costs less than 6mbps with AT&T. Haven't had a single issue unlike the day to day nightmare that was AT&T. "Good day".

  • @MrJohndoe351 LOL have fun with your cable aka coppering wirepiece of shit dvr, that doesnt give you alot of benefits then ours...lol comcast doesnt even give you as much dvrs in a room then we do! you guys cant stop live tv...and you will be paying alot less with us guarantee...i can compare any price with you...plus depending on the area you live the signal wasnt so great...but theres people with great experience and others who dont... same for comcast so dueces mate.

  • @MrJohndoe351 As I've said before, I'm paying less for my service with Comcast than I was with AT&T.... Faster internet; completely stable, TV doesn't cut out every 5 seconds leaving giant missing sections of recordings, two DVR's which I ->CAN<- stop live TV on unlike the one DVR I had with AT&T with that function.... What does AT&T give you, the ability to record 4 shows at once? How often do 4 shows that you want to record air at the same time anyways.

  • @MrJohndoe351 You should also respond to my comment if you want me to respond back :rollseyes:... If you're an actual AT&T Representative then you should work on your English skills; talking the way you do only proves my point that you people are incompetent.

  • @MrJohndoe351this convo is killed...i take comcast costumers everyday to switch on over to at&t yet so far no cancelations :)...

  • @MrJohndoe351 dont listen tot hat idiot ubeasnika, the only argument he has is about the internet, he cant say nothing about the tv services cause he knows comcast entire network as far as features suck

  • @okcboi amen!!!! :) glad you love it man

  • @okcboi exactly!! we are a growing company.

  • TV is good, internet is horrible. The uverse customer support techs are both rude and incompetent. Switching to Comcast tomorrow. At night my speeds drop below 0.50mbps download. Do not waste your time with uverse.

  • @ubeasnika please, with uverse u get ur own dedicated connection, good luck with comcast, your internet is going to be running on a shared loop meaning you will be sharing your internet with all of your neighbors.

  • @okcboi COMCAST?! This guy is an idiot dude. You can't fix stupid. I just got AT&T U-verse. I love it the internet is WAY better than what I had.

  • @l3etterlife I know man people dont know that regular cable cant compete with uverse yet

  • @okcboi Thanks for the luck, switched to Comcast about a month ago. I'm paying for the 12mbps internet/phone/tv package and I'm receiving 24mbps 24 hours a day unlike with AT&Thief. Not only is my internet now 48x faster and indescribably more reliable, it's cheaper than AT&Thief too. Have fun getting ripped off with uverse!

  • @ubeasnika and comcast runs on a shared loop, I doubt you are getting 24mbps

  • @okcboi speedtest net result 1630309197.png Have some proof then.

  • @okcboi speedtest net result 1512127766.png Along with that here is a picture of what I (And every other AT&Thief member in my area) was getting everyday with AT&Thief... Need I shoot your logic in the foot anymore?

  • @ubeasnika all u can talk about is the internet, I bet you are being over priced for crappy service with comcast, what about your tv?? how many shows can you record at once?? I know comcast does not even have a total home dvr, you gotta go back and watch ont the same tv you record from, with uverse u can pause and play back on any tv in the hose

  • @okcboi I have the exact same channels as I did with uverse. I can record 2 TV shows at once and I would have to watch one of the shows if I'm recording 2 at once, which is fine because the only 3 shows I even record air on different days of the week. And if you have the ability to read I stated earlier that my bill is CHEAPER with Comcast than it was with AT&Thief. I also think I proved with my 2 screenshots that I was being over priced and completely ripped off with uverse to begin with.

  • Uverse is not fiber optic! It is fiber to the node and then Vdsl2 the rest of the way which is up or 3000ft from your home

  • hey guys Uverse is the best rightnow on tv high speed internet and voice because the optical fiber run with the light speed so.. if u are having problem could be because ur premises are not good inside ur house!.. pls check ur jacks and all ur wires, then check ur 2wire router all the lights have to be on.. (service and broadband)

  • This service SUCKS

    Do not buy

    PICTURES SPUTTER AND MELTS ESPECIALLY DURING PLAY OFFS

    NO MATTER WHAT PRICE THEY ROPE YOU IN AT YOU WILL SOON BE PAYING OVER $100.00 PER MONTH

  • @Eagle99001 Its your fault. All you have to do is call and downgrade. Thats what I did and im paying 80-90 a month :P

  • @Eagle99001 And They have the best service I hve ever gotten. You are just having a bad experience. It happens with every TV service :P

  • Is your bill cheaper with the AT&T bundle than with any other cable company (i.e. Comcast)?

  • it costs 45 dollars to watch wrestling lol what

  • @jessicaaxo7 its UFC what do you expect :P

  • Answered the questions we had (like the availability of a search function). Thank you for the review. U-verse goes in on Monday.

  • i am getting at&t u-verse tv tomorrow! they said that this friday they were going to install it and since tomorrow is friday, they are coming tomorrow

  • is the on demand selection for U-verse as good as Comcast

  • You can also call people form your TV! Well, kinda. You have the option to call someone, or return the call and it calls you phone, then redirects your call to whoever you chose on your TV.

  • Can you still only pause and playback on ONE DVR and not on the other receivers? This is a big deal breaker for me. Just wondering since you posted this video in '09.

  • Good demo. Thanks.

    

  • cant stand u verse constant prolbems goes out 6 times a week it freezes 12 times a week loose sound i do not reccomend u-verse to anyone tech. had to come to house 5 times already for fixing equiptment stuck with it not my house :( :( :(

  • we are getting uverse on june 15th

  • Biggest problem I always have with cable/satellite providers is the god awful looking UI. U-Verse is the first one that looks good.

    Hate AT&T but sometimes they do redeem them selves.... some times...

  • ATT U-VERSE IS WAY BETTER THAN DISH.CHARTER,DIRECTV AND COMCAST ALL THERE GHRAPS LOOK LIKE CARTOONS STUFF BUT NOT ATT U-VERSE

  • going to switch much better service serval of our neightbor have it and been very happy

  • we will need the three service because we have a secuity system

  • Thanks for posting this video!!

  • @ 4:01....You can't pause and rewind live tv on the non DVR Set Top Boxes? Doesn't that sound like a deal killer?

    3 questions:

    Can I pause and rewind live TV in a secondary room IF the DVR is recording that program simultaneously?

    Can two people in two different secondary rooms watch (and pause and rewind) the same recorded show simultaneously?

    Can I use a Tivo in those secondary rooms?

  • @ThatsGoodKnowedge YES FOR Q1 YES FOR Q2 AND NO FOR Q3

  • Thank You im getting it installed on the 5th of march. very helpful video

    Semper-fi

  • I am Leonid Rozumenko, - the inventor of the screenboards.

    The name of my work, where I described this new for that time type of data entry devices:

    "UNIVERSAL MULTILANGUAGE MULTIFUNCTIONAL KEYBOARD"

    the very term the screenboards was also created by me in this work to describe with the words what I had in mind.

    My ideas passed international patent search as Inventive and Innovative.

    So it was (and it is!) my invention!

  • I had American patent agents from "Invention Home"

    and American patent atterneys from "James Ray and associates"

    but Microsoft, Apple, Motorola, Google and others took my ideas for free as if I never existed and don't deserve any royalties.

    so Bill Gates, Apple, Motorola and Samsung wisards, what are you doing???

  • How this idea came to me?

    I studied programming in USA 10 years ago

    plus, I know several Europian languages

    and I like to write sometimes in one language, sometimes in another

    so I thought how to create a tool for this purpose...

    I thought about it... I went to bed with these thoughts

    and waked up with this idea about the screenboards.

  • then I supplied it with the GOOD QUALITY brainstorming.

    Out of my ideas in this package came all existing screen boards, Windows Ubuntu and extentions for the TV and much more!

  • My work covered all related to the screenboards themes and gave them the PERSPECTIVE...

    And it wasn't just the ideas which I shared! -

    I paid more then the 15 thousands USD in the process!

    I paid 11 500 00 $ just for the PCT application (Patent Cooperation Treaty application) which suppose to protect my author-inventor's rights around the Earth for three years?!

  • Yet, I can't find investors anywhere, though I paid to my patent agents for the Premium Site and for the marketing - to sell my ideas to the big companies

    and these "people" took it for free?!

  • P.S.: the same applies to the at&t, Google, Nexus One, U.S. Cellular, T-Mobile, Samsung and others which advertise their products on YouTube and TV.

    Gentlemen, check your counsciense, - is it fair to leave the inventor of the screenboards without any compensation?

  • You CAN pause live tv on non-dvr's by simply hitting record, then going in to recorded shows and opening that show, then pausing it.

  • the signal is 99.9 signal we do not have our neightbor have it and love it

  • well done. good review.

  • @SoldierKnowsBest you do know that the fiber optic wires is not coming directly into your house it is fiber optic for that whole neighborhood but the lines from the vrad boxes get transfered to the cable lines...... I mean the fiber optic lines!

  • At&t is nice, but uverse... I like the HD channels etc but usually its down, where it shows a black screen. You'll end up restarting it and waiting 10 minutes and you cant have 4 cable boxes on at the same time. REcording is nice, but the stuff i just listed pisses me off. i give uverse a 2.5 out of 5

  • how do u play a movie from a flash drive?

  • SKB, great demonstration! thank you very much.

  • At first I had TimeWarner. (Austin, TX.) The internet was slow for what I could afford. I signed up with Uverse about 2 months later, and I have to say, for 20 bucks more, Uverse offers 12mbps compared to 2mbps from TW. I'm a big online gamer and even with a wifi setup, I can still host MW2 games/rooms. Also I haven't had any incidents with lag, the internet being down or even maintenance downtime. All and all Uverse works well at my house. Been satisfied for 10 months thus far.

  • HELPED A LOT THANKS!

  • att is going to kick dish and direct tv's ass let them fight while att is winning

  • @skimowhite586 rite and now they getting ready to buy dish

  • im gunna get it today any tips?

  • say i sell u-verse so send your number and ill hook u up !!

  • say i sell u-verse so send your number and ill hook u up !!

  • I own Uverse and i think its a piece of shit never works always needs to be reset constantly

  • Thanks for putting out a good review.

  • If you or a NEIGHBOR are ham radio operator say AWAY from this GARBAGE system.RFI from most ANY HF radio will KILL the picture every time the microphone or keyer is activated.NOT GOOD! }:>(

  • Do you still have Uverse tv and/or internet?if so, has anything gotten better? and what about the remote having to be in line of fight thing, ect? would be nice if you reply or post a video about the changes. :D

  • I just order this, and love it, i have 2 dvr hd and internet 12mb download 1.5 upload for 97.00 a month plus free install. that is 60.00 cheaper a month that time warner cable. and as far as the internet speed. I can not get that speed without speeding over 150.00 a month with time warner. so ATT WAY BETTER. Time warner sucks..

  • Yeah, for an arm and TWO legs,,, Don't order this shit until at&t makes it right with the workers and the service practices.

  • how do u reset the power programming of att uverse

  • The difference between FIOS and Uverse is that Uverse doesn't use the fiber optic cables. They deliver their services over the old copper cables already buried in your subdivision. Now, they are starting to offer FTTP in newer housing developments or if you had FIOS they will be more then happy to use the fiber already laid, but won't lay fiber from the get go.

  • my dad asked an AT&T worker when U-VERSE will come to my side of my city and they said soon so i can't wait

    (time warner your about to have competition)

  • do soldiers get all the women??

  • They hire kids that have little or no experience and rely on the veterans to clean it up then when the work gets slow they systematically let them go,,ie when the work orders slow down. betrayed! 21 plus years telecom PBX Networks installations, this company has no loyalty to YOU!

  • Yeah this is junk disconnect and go with cable your better off. There work ethics are just slam the job in and worry about the repeat service call later.

  • its not avaiable here in minnesota yet, any movie channels like hbo, starz, encore, max

  • nice review, been thinking about getting this mainly for the faster net

  • Nice info.. Thanks man...

  • Great video, very informative! Did I see St. Louis as your local weather? I am in St. Louis as well :) I am getting ready to make the switch to Uverse and you were very helpful. Thanks so much!

  • good review dude. thanks.

  • Looks good at 1:56

  • i dont know how old this video is but seems a little out dated

  • I am thinking about get u-verse but i didnt really know all that much about it. so enters youtube. anyway i found ur demo of the service very helpfull and i just wanted to thank u for taking the time in making it.

  • uverse is now kinda like comcast.

  • What do you mean by that?

  • @KingNikoJr are you stupid thats like saying VHS is kinda like DVD

  • Is this example the Motorola STB or the Cisco STB?

  • good video. very informational

  • does anyone now how to put your recordings onto your computer ?

  • I am planning to switch from DirecTV to AT&T U Verse once it becomes available in my area. Seems like a good change, and I have a friend who has AT&T U Verse, the HD quality is BETTER than on my DirecTV.

  • @ranelproductions Really? Of course, your HD quality depends on your distance from your VRAD, or your neighborhood TV box. I, personally am very happy with the quality, but at the same time, i'm on a 32" TV and am not a videophile.

  • Comment removed

  • Did they run the fiber directly to your house or is your connection running through copper?

  • its fiber to the node.

    google it.

  • Uverse is fiber from the data center to the curb/street. From there is usually twisted pair to the home, then COAX.

  • will they ever run fiber straight to house? It seems senseless to run fiber then bottleneck it to copper twisted pair.

  • No, it is not fiber to the house. You don't think AT&T is going to simply rerun a fiber option line from the cube to your personal home do you? The only cases of this happening is Verizon FIOS that they are running fiber to homes on entire resedential blocks. Uverse great, but its not magic and they cannot just run fiber to your home. They run fiber on the backend in the data center, then fiber to the curb. From there it uses existing lines, usually twisted pair/newer copper and finally coax.

  • I Wanna Win!!!

  • That was a good introduction to the service. I would like to get u-verse hear but our area is a little rural so att just offers dsl here. I have directv currently and like it a lot but u-verse seems like a very good value compared to cable. I keep reading about u-verse hd quality gradually increasing. I think they keep on coming out with better codecs to get a sharper hd picture with the same amount of bandwidth.

  • I had both AT&T, and Time Warner. I pick Time Warner, cheaper, and faster. My internet speed for timewarner is 30mbps, while my AT&T was 3mbps

  • TV and Internet shut off on me 2 hrs ago and it's been shut off for at least 15mins. Not sure why it keeps doing that every weekend. ATT Tells me that they are updating their software. I doubt it since it randomly does it now and then.

  • why is stuff so expensive

  • hfghgd fhgdf fhh

  • which is best MS' Word or Apple's Pages.

  • I like both, but if I had to chose one, I would use Pages because it works well with Macs and PC's.

  • 12mbps??? I live in Australia and I get 120kbps, Thats not fair lol!

  • on wireless network connection status in vista it says ive got 54mbps ill send a pic if u dont believe me

  • Yes, thats from the computer to the router, but your "real" internet speed is from the router to the ISP, and I only have 120kbps.

  • o k how can i see how fast it actually is

  • uverse sucks horribly it lags so bad and when your going through your recordings it somtimes deletes them right when your scrolling through them

  • my mom has AT&T

  • i have it for a year so it not a privew

  • i've had AT&T Uverse sense like october of last year

  • It looks okay,but i would not like each tv having a Play,Stop and pause. I use Time Warren,I boycotted At&t and will never use them again,

  • cap? what is cap?

  • 55$ for 12mb down? thats expansive. i pay 25$ for 30mb down/10 mb up in sweden. i could get 100 mb/ 10 mb for 15$ extra.

  • do you have a cap? in sweden?

  • the u.s. behind in internet services

  • I have this. Yes, the HD is awesome. I have the phone, internet, and tv.

  • i get 15mb download/10 upload for $45 from verizon :)

  • pretty koo!!!

  • no i point it behind me and it still works

  • i dont think it would work with my 3G sprint air card.

    oh well my internet is still fast enough though.

    great video soldier know best.

  • The search is an awesome feature! I would get it just for that!

  • Thanks! 

  • Is your Tv 3G from at&t

  • Great Video! but I'm not all that happy with AT & T these days.

  • whats up with the name virgin anyway? did there dad ever give them a how to sex book?

  • i dunno the company is quite good though

  • lol... I know... chelsea fan I see me too... BIG one.

  • in uk, virgin media have the fiber optic services and is almost exactly the same as yours.

  • what is up with this video dimensions!

  • is Uverse better or fios? i have fios and we had a promotional bundle for t.v., phone and internet, but I payed $10 more for HD and faster internet so it's $110 a month. is that a good deal?

  • Gahhh we don't get high speed internet.... we have to use an aircard

  • nice video, i always wondered how the total home dvr thing worked but it sound cool and I like that you can record 4 shows at a time because i can only record two and if i am recording two show i have to watch one of those shows

  • I got the 100$ per month bundle and its been the best :D

  • kinda ironic that there is a Comcast ad next to the video..atleast for me...but i have comcast and when it gets windy it messes up sometimes and pisses me off....But Uverse looks too kool

  • Anything is better than cables super compressed mpeg2 HD. Verizon FIOS seems to be the best but Uverse isn't too bad. i would ftth with FIOS like speeds though.

  • im to poor to afford any cable service

  • I would like to have this but is not available here in las vegas yet. Does anyone knows when will it be available?

  • I have U-verse and I love it.

  • I want u-verse but right now it is not in my area, I have to wait a few more months until it becomes available in my area! I guess I have to settle with Time Warner cable for now!

  • You said "optis" instead of "Optics"

  • cable internet is better

  • i have uverse. The phone is good but the TV freezes up sometimes. Also the internet has been reallllly screwed up lately. I have to restart every 5 minutes. Its ok other than that though....

  • looks good but ill keep my timewarner service =] never had a problem with any of the services ^_~

  • I have U-Verse as well. It is awesome. I'm very pleased with the service. No phone though, just internet and TV.

    Good Video Solder... 5/5

  • This is cool way better than anything offered in the UK at present. We really need fibre-optic cable everywhere.

  • I love AT&T Uverse

  • why does he get so much att stuff verizon has higher quality stuff besides the iphone

  • prob because he can bundle a package for cheaper through at&t

  • Good demo, this helps a lot. I was looking into just get uverse internet and TV but I wasnt sure how good the TV would be.
