Anyone have AT&T U-Verse?

Pros? Cons?

So far, it seems like a better deal than my Time Warner Cable... More HD channels, faster broadband internet, for a cheaper price.

Thoughts?

Hmmm....

Tons of channels with the U400 ultimate package. 10Mb internet is nice too!

However, there are limitations...

1) Can only watch ONE (*sigh*) HD stream at a time...
2) Does not automatically recognize 4:3 and widescreen HD.
3) HD doesn't seem as clear as Time Warner's.

In the future, they will be offering the ability to watch 2 HD streams, so two HDTVs can watch simultaneously. Also, they will be offering home DVR, where all the TVs in the household can watch programming stored on the single DVR.

Pricewise, it is cheaper than cable. More channels for a cheaper price. The set top boxes are smaller. The interface is crisper. It can record I believe up to 4 non-HD recordings simultaneously. More HD channels.

Will try it out for awhile and see. I am going to miss my two HD DVRs from Time Warner, where I could record 2 HD streams on each box simultaneously.
