I had Uverse for 3 years and just dumped it for DTV. I was having to constantly reboot the boxes because the picture would lock up or I would get messages like "pausing live tv is not available at this time". It takes the boxes like 15 minutes to come back online when you reboot them too.

That is typically only when you have the max amount of HD recordings going on. Anyway, I am sure some have had issues. I have had almost no issues in 2+ years with UVerse.

were your boxes 3 years old and did they refuse to replace them? I've had similar issues with directv. once you fill up the storage, the DVRs can get sluggish.

I have to reboot my DTV HD-DVRs about every other week. They take about 12 minutes to come back online.
