AT&T U-Verse on XBOX 360 (pre-June 2011 Update)

I just wanted to show people from a new user's perspective how this thing works. It's the only thing out there as far as cable TV on gaming consoles that exists and I got the first install in the whole Upstate area. It does require you to have a regular DVR in your home before you can do this, but it acts just like a stock AT&T U-Verse receiver when it's set up. It can be installed the same day as the DVR is, once a connection to the U-Verse service has been established.
-EDIT-
As of early June 2011, an update has come out which requires you to be signed in with a Gold XBOX Live Membership to watch TV with U-Verse on XBOX. It takes a bit longer to load, and the new color scheme matches that of regular U-Verse receivers and DVRs that also received an update. You can also PAUSE, REWIND, and FAST-FORWARD Live TV now, just like you would do on a central receiver box. The way it starts up in this video is almost completely incorrect since the update, but I will leave it up because I am too lazy to delete it or record a new video.

AT&T only? Telus in Canada was actually the first.

@iSquishy89 Sorry, I didn't know Telus was first because I'm not current on Canadian technological advancements. Let's just say first in America. My apologies for the confusion.

If you are playing a game, can you use the Xbox guide's quick launch feature to fire it up? 

[VansForever]

@lifeandall there might be a way but i haven't figured it out yet. i always launch from the dashboard pane as shown.

I can already tell you there isn't a monthly charge for having this as an additional receiver, says so on the website. What I want to know is did you have a "professional" install the u-verse app and if so what did they have to do? I don't mind paying $99 for the software and remote (that I already have) but I don't want to pay another $55 for some dingaling to come to my house to put the CD in, install and then leave. What was really required by the "professional"?

@stunod7 once installed, it has a big configuration process, which i'm pretty sure they HAVE to do themselves. i don't think there is an option for them to let you do it, even if you could. also, i'm pretty sure that all same-day-as-install service as far as the guy being there is FREE.

@VansForever Did you have to run any wires anywhere or drill holes anywhere? I live in a rental home and am interested in getting this service but don't want any damage to the house I live in, I doubt the landlord would say yes if there was

Is "closed capturing" what Americans call SUBTITLES?

[tatsumakisempyukaku]

I was thinking of getting att but idk. How is the Internet speed? Do you ever lag while playing ur xbox online? I have a ps3 and some ppl lag and throw off the whole game. And is it true that u have to live close to that att box in order to get the speed? Also, does att offer Japanese animation channels?

europe was the first they had sky tv on xbox years ago

[Ryand0523]

@SilentStryk07 not in Illinois here its = to about 14 months of paying the receiver fees

[thawkins1970]

I agree with what few people have been saying about ATT UVerse... The fact is that purchasing a remote that is $99 and then paying a bill of more than $100 is for the birds. Why spend more money getting Uverse on the Xbox? Why watch Uverse on the Xbox and not the reciever they offer you? You would watch Xbox a lot more and then it will eventually burn out and give you the red ring of death. Once that happens you are out of luck. ATT will not reimburse your money.

Xbox as STB has been a disaster for me. In less than 2 months we have had 12 truck rolls for freezing problems on the TV conected to STBs and the DVR. I personally isolated the fault to the Xbox set-up (RG-Splitter-coax-Moto HPNA Adapter-ethernet to Xbox) and could only solve freezing on the other tvs by unplugging from the entire Xbox set-up from the network. Last truck after my isolation could not fix it, I am asking for a refund on the $99 Xbox fee
