| Re: AT&T U-Verse Digital Cable Service I think im going to go with the option to have all the boxes hooked up via cat6 then coax. Each box gets its own ip address so you can either watch cable on your tv or surf the web. |

| Re: AT&T U-Verse Digital Cable Service I cant wait to get the service installed to see how it compares with comast and brighthouse networks. In the city i live in it took 12years before another cable company could come in. |

| Re: AT&T U-Verse Digital Cable Service 10Mb on fiber is pretty poor imo. Are you sure it's actually fiber? I was under the impression that initial rollouts would be Fiber To The Node with ADSL2+ or VDSL for 'last-mile.' |

SRTDodge, how many HDTV's do you have? When ATT began offering this service you could only have 1 HD stream at a time, now some markets allow 2 streams at once. Hopefully it will be 4 streams before long, using pair bonding and better compression.

8, ok, should be since everything will be digital and HD eight months from now. So how will you record TV programs and TV movies to watch later? And how will you record those special TV shows and events to keep and watch forever?  | |

After you record a program, can you take it with you to watch with friends who live several miles away? | |

| Re: AT&T U-Verse Digital Cable Service You could take the box with you or transfer the data from the box to a usb drive.

Right now, I can either record onto a VHS tape and take it with me including the closed captioning and the SAP. Or I can record directly onto the hard drive and either burn the file either onto a DVD or take the raw file with me on portable media. Thus I can play the program on a boat or camper or SUV DVD player or vacation house etc later. Of course this is analog signal source. Are you sure you can transfer an unscrambled file via a USB port? Has AT&T activated a USB port? Last time I checked all companies had disabled all ports from their equipment (except for DISH network). And does the file contain the closed caption info? | |
