re: Gave up DirecTV for Uverse today.

My Dad just got Uverse a few weeks ago and I was there during the install. I was talking to the installers because I have been thinking of switching for a while. Here's a few points that I found out that I never knew. Let me first say that I can't speak of COX or Directv because I don't have either. I have Comcast here in Houston.
1-You have to have a box for every TV in the house. That doesn't work for me because we have 8 tv's in the house. That would be quite pricey per month for 8 boxes.
2-You can only have 4 streams of TV playing in your house at once. That wouldn't work for me either. With all of the tv's in the house, I venture to guess they are all watching the same thing or the same 4 even.
3-You can only pause/rewind on the "main" tv. That sucks because I'd like to do this in other rooms also.
But, that being said...I liked the service and it had many cool features. Just wish it didn't have these previously mentioned problems (for me). For a lot of people, this wouldn't be a problem at all I'm sure.
Just fyi....

Also true, but i've never had to try it

this is not true for some. I just had an update on mine that allows me to pause, rewind live tv from any box in the house. It just happened a few days ago though.
I enjoy mine, like someone else said i have the highest package plus the sports tier and the Palladia/Red Zone tier and it's only about 10.00 per month more than Cox was. I like the little things that are different about it. How it shows whats coming on next without hitting the guide button and how much time is left on the current show your watching. Stuff like that is what i enjoy.
I have never had an internet/connection problem either
