Gave up DirecTV for Uverse today.

The install took forever and it still isn't done. They had to run a new wire in the back yard, and it hasn't been buried yet. All kinds of other problems; the guy pulled up at 9:30 am and left my house at 6pm. Also he cut all my DirecTV wires and Cox main feed. The DirecTV, ok well this is the last month and its almost over. But I he cut the Cox feed to use the wire. I had to go behind him and fix it. But I'm liking it so far.
The guide is better, the channels change faster, its cheaper (DTV with all channels=$155, add $59 a month for NFL Sunday Ticket months) and I like the Picture in Picture view screen when going through the guide. No complaints so far, besides having to learn new channels. Limited On Demand but I HBO OD is loaded, starting "Game of Thrones".
Kinda wanted to know what other people who switched from Cox or DTV think.
Also I'm mulling switching internet too. I know Cable kills DSL, but the guy was telling me Uverse is more consistent. Still Cox seems cheaper per/Mb.
(tl/dr crowd)
Uverse okay so far, thoughts?

The wife and I switched about 4 months ago, we pay about $10 more a month than when we had cox but we have every channel they offer. Haven't had any problems with it. I actually recommended it to a bunch of friends and they are slowly starting to switch over as it comes up in their neighborhoods.

I know a handful of people with UVerse and even the ones that like the television setup don't like the internet. I use it somewhat often at my parents' place and it is not good at all. Slow and has a tendency to cut out.

If you get Uverse internet, keep in mind it shares the pipe with the TV.
So if you have 2 HD shows playing, with some more recording, your speeds will dive.
