I tried signing up online, but the first available installation date was on a weekday in Janurary, and all the Saturdays in Janurary and February were full. Also, I noticed someone in our neighborhood getting it installed yesterday, and the trucks were in front of his house for 4-5 hours. I don't really want to take a vacation day from work just to get a new TV service installed.
Also, I read some mixed reviews on some of the Uverse blogs that are out there. A lot of people complain about the DVR; apparently it freezes a lot and it is hard to delete shows once you have watched them. I think I'll just wait for awhile to see how it all plays out.
About the HD - I agree that some channels don't seem as HD as others. In fact, I'm canceling my HD service with Charter and am just going to use the over-the-air signal, which seems to be just as good. I think I can live without watching Poison and Whitesnake reunion concerts on HDNet.

Thanks - I just wasted 20 mins!
Though I may have found my blender - seriously, anyone have a smoothie making monster blender that hasn't let you down?

Hell I can't even get half the speed on internet that I am supposed to get so what is the point of getting this. Now if AT&T can get it fixed and U-Verse does become available I would try it.
It is likely that the node you would use for UVerse is new and wouldn't rely on the central office or on existing remote terminals. If you can get UVerse you should definitely have the speed.
Well, I hope that they upgrade or do whatever they need to do. I am about ready to chuck AT&T again for the 2nd time in 2 1/2 years.

Off the top of my head DirecTV has (and UVerse doesn't) SciFiHD, SpikeHD, AMC-HD, CNNHD, SpeedHD, the 3 or 4 Discovery Channel HDs, WeatherChannelHD, NHL-HD and NBA-HD. I'm sure there are other as I think DirecTV is up to 57 national HD channels.
SAN ANTONIO, Dec. 17 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Meeting the growing demand from TV viewers for quality High Definition (HD) programming, AT&T Inc. (NYSE: T) today announced the addition of eight HD channels to its AT&T U-verse(SM) TV channel lineup.
U-verse TV now offers Animal Planet HD, CNN HD, Discovery HD, Science Channel HD, Starz Kids & Family HD, Superstation WGN in HD, TLC HD, VERSUS and GOLF CHANNEL HD.
With these additions, AT&T U-verse TV subscribers with the HD service option have access to a lineup of more than 40 HD channels in most markets, which is more HD programming than local cable providers in current U-verse markets.
