What’s Better than ATT TV?
We have had ATT TV service put in for more than a week now. An similar deal through Comcast would cost almost twice what I am paying AT T’s TV service. I totally appreciate the ATT TV Offer of an all-in-one bundle that keeps from nailing subscribers with a bunch of miscellaneous charges. 3 boxes (1 with DVR capabilities) are added in the price. HD accepted for free for one year – only $10 per year after the promotional point terminates… not bad since U-Verse gives you at least twice the number of HD channels which Comcast provides in this area.
Station shifting is pretty quick. Almost as fast as regular cable. On Demand (Pay-per-view) content is decent but not as close as the selection extended by other services. I had company the night after set up – they wanted to watch UFC, but U-Verse wasn’t showing it. When I called, the rep I spoke with had accepted many similar calls.
Equipment mostly functions as advertised. Right now, there are only 4 TV streams ready in our market. I have only run out of streams once – even after adding all 42 of my episode recordings from my Comcast box! (You can access some of your DVR’s settings from your personal U-Verse AT&T website – decent plus). I do not have high def, thus no need for the addition.
Watching an HD channel takes up 2 streams – the leftover flows can only be used for standard definition networks. It looks like, a upping of the amount of TV streams is in the works for the end of the fall. In addition, AT&T will be imparting the ability to watch DVR shows from any device.
