Tell me about AT&T Uverse

No better than DirecTV, Comcast, Antenna...

I have uverse. I pay too much, but can't compare it, as we've had uverse the 3.5 years we've been here. Picture is good, but not spectactular, and have fiber to my house, and I've had problems with 2 of the boxes. I think all the providers suck, but can't tell which is the best or worst.

Sorry.

After reading all of this, moving to Dish or staying with Direct is a no-brainer.

Especially if you do not mind losing picture when the weather gets bad..

There are people who say they don't but I think they are full of it. I know several people with Dish and Direct who lose full or quality of picture when the weather rolls in. Hell most of your Sports bars run Direct... bad weather and their TV's go out..

So yeah no brainer for me was to kick the dish years ago.

I'm a happy directv customer, but the damn door-to-door girl made a good case for a switch. What do y'all think?

I switched after a door to door girl sold me on it.

Dont get me wrong i love my uverse. I previously had Direct TV(83$) with some cheap slow ATT DSL(20$)

My DirectTV was about to be up anyways and Fios isnt offered in my neighborhood.

The only thing that pissed me off was that she said the Installation would be free. They charged me 150$. I called ATT and told her it was suppose to be free and i still have my papers that said it'd be free. She said she couldnt do anything about it, even after i offered to fax her the papers.

I was paying 110 a month for Uverse plus internet. After the 6 month rebate went up, i started paying 154$ ... I wish we had Fios though, but Uverse is still solid.

DirectTV only sucked because of the rain/wind issues and you couldnt record as many shows at once cmpared to Uverse. I went through 4 boxes with them through 2 years of service.

I had DirecTv for like 13 years, and one time the weather caused a problem, I called, they sent someone out who adjusted the dish and it never had a problem again. Now, if it was a flatout downpour that made it so you couldn't see across the street, yeah it would go out, but seriously, in the 13 years, I bet I lost signal less than 10 times.

Only reason I switch to Verizon FIOS was they would no longer deal on the NFL Ticket prices, and after having it for 13 straight years, and having to haggle every year to get a reduced price, I had it. That last year Achmed wouldn't budge, so I dropped service.

I would think that the Antenna being free might make it a little better.

I've had Dish for over eleven years and the only time we've lost the picture is briefly during severe thunderstorms. It's a satellite system, it's going to happen. It only lasts for 3-4 minutes and then it's back up. It actually holds up very well during thunderstorms and very heavy rain and 9 times out of 10, doesn't go out at all. Dish has always given us excellent customer service, and top notch equipment at a very fair price while holding those prices firm. Compared to the rest of the bullshit with ATT, I still say it's a no brainer.

Plus the fact that antenna is the real deal uncompressed 1080 with Dolby Digital stereo sound. Broadcast OTA HDTV looks a LOT better than most pay TV HD signals I've seen.

[94form2000z]

Well those 3 - 4 minutes you guys talk about lasted through half episodes of stuff I wanted to watch.. I have been at places watching sports events that went out for longer than that.. I have NEVER lost TV from storm, wind, rain, etc.. with U-Verse. That was a simple point. I have excellent quality in mine, some don't, and that sucks for them.

If I ever call up to get my bill lowered and they will not do it, then I will def be hitting up DirecTV lol

I've had U-Verse for a couple years now. I do like it but it's more costly than my old Direct TV was. I'm paying $190/month for internet & tv through u-verse. Their remotes do suck ass
