UVerse with VOIPo

Did AT&T give you a big discount because of this?

Nope. That's a big gripe of people in my situation if you check out the forums on DSL Reports or AT&T's U-talk site.

Possibly a dumb question ... or two!

• If there is a recorded HD stream to watch, can it be viewed on an SD TV?
• You can only watch streams from the DVR on other TVs? Not just watch with independent control to pause and play?
• How many recordings can be watched at a time? 3 different ones?

Seems I have a lot of questions!

• Yes, you can watch HD recordings or live HD on SD TVs. It'll just have the black letterboxing bars at the top and bottom.
• You can watch whatever you want on the other set-top boxes, live or recorded, independent of what's going on on the DVR box. You can pause/rewind/FF a recording from any TV. You can only pause/rewind/FF live TV when watching on the DVR box.
• You can watch multiple recordings at the same time, but I do not know what the limit is. There's a Total Home DVR community at AT&T's U-talk community forum that may have the answer if you want to poke around in it: http://utalk.att.com/t5/Total-Home-DVR/bd-p/thdvr

That's really unfair. You pay the same as people that have better/shorter copper wires to the VRAD and can get much more bandwidth and more than one-at-a-time HD.

If I were you, I'd go to the local PUC's website and register a formal complaint. This is the only power we consumers have against the media companies. If they get too many PUC complaints, even if deregulated, there are consequences they don't want.
