Who has it and what are the advantages? Is it good service?

I've been on Comcast in Houma for 5 years and it has sucked badly. Crappy equipment, poor HD and sound. Several times while watching TV on an HD channel, the picture will pixilate, then a message will appear "this channel will be available shortly. Some boxes can order on-demand programming, others can't. Many times, I'll change to station and there will be no sound and I'll have to flip around channels to get sound, then voila, sound is on the channel I want. I could go on...

After the latest error message, I ordered up AT&T Uverse. I am hoping to have less trouble. Hoping some of you have this service and can give me the skinny. When they are selling it, they make it sound great (big surprise). I have 7 tv's and all bu 3 have custom installs, universal remotes, etc. Hope it works they way they sold it, because it is a huge financial savings (like $100/month cheaper!)

You get a lot of perks, but one con I hear is that the HD isn't as good.

On a related note, if you get a 300 package or better, it comes with free streaming of your entire service to your iPhone

I have had it for a year in Houston. The service works fine for me, and if I have ran into a issue AT&T has had good service. We have only had one problem where they had to come out and replace the main DVR box. They took like 30 dollars off my bill because we could not record anything for a day and a half.

One thing I have seen people mention is that you can only record 2 HD programs at a time not 4.

Also the AT&T guy will setup everything as far as peripherals go (universal remotes). Or at least that is what they did when setting up ours.

i have it and i love it. And it's mainly the smaller thing i love. The picture quality is ok, i don't really see a noticeable difference. I do still get the pixelating and it's worse than it was on Cox. I went to my mom's house during the weekend and Eatel was even worse than both, so i can't complain to much.
The multi view channels are awesome though, along with the favorites list that will pull up roughly 50 channels at once.
