We are moving to KC in the next month and will be going with ATT for internet service since they have the gigapower available and google fiber isn't available where our house is. Question is do those of you that have uverse like it for TV? We have directv now, but seems we can get more channels with uverse. Just not sure if HD picture is as good.

Check out the tech board. You will probably receive more help over there.

I've had both and I prefer Directv. But Uverse wasn't bad. ATT owns Directv so you should get similar lineups I would guess.

AT&T recently purchased Directv, and Uverse will be phased out (for tv services). So unless you want to buy something that will be phased out shortly, go with Directv.

No more Uverse

Depends on the area. U-Verse was shite in my area. Also, their products are subpar, imo. We always were sending back modems and tv boxes and shite. Sure, the customer service was great, but I was calling them about outages almost every week. They even replaced the wiring in my backyard for free, still hardly worked.

FWIW I have had Directv since 2001 with no major issues. I recently switched to Dish and their new Hopper 3 (records up to 16 programs at once, does 4k, Netflix built in, PIP 4 screen) and love it. Check it out.

I use Dish for TV and Cox for internet.

Just moved to San Antonio. Love having Uverse Have no complaints about the HD picture.

Moved to SA from the greater Kansas City area, actually. Highly recommend asking some of the Mizzou posters on this site what their experiences have been with the service

I live in the KC area. I like Time Warner better than Uverse. With Uverse, there is a cap on how much data you have. I think it's like 250 Mb, which isn't much if you like to stream and/or download anything. I haven't had any problems with Time Warner, and my internet service is pretty reliable.

They are nothing but liars. The WORST experience I have ever been a part of hands down.
Direct tv is the choice
