2. 4 streams max. Period. Can be 4 HD, 4 SD, this doesn't matter, just a max of 4 channels going at the same time. Anything recording counts toward this, watching recorded TV does not. You can pause live TV on any box. You can be limited to less if your wire distance to the VRAD is too long and you can't train at the highest profile.

I just called ATT to cancel my installation and they put the tech manager on the phone who insist its 8 stream total.
With my 5 tv streaming I can only record 3 shows while viewing TV but a max of 4 can be recorded.
This will work.
I would just hate for the tech to install then have to pull it out because its not so.



That tech manager was very mistaken.

I should clarify. The max number of unique live TV channels is 4 channels. It doesn't matter, assuming you're on the highest profile, HD vs SD. On lower profiles, you get less HD channels, but you're still limited to 4 "live TV" channels.

For example, say you want to watch/record NBC, ABC, CBS and FOX at the same time.

1. You can watch NBC on one TV, ABC on one TV, CBS on one TV and FOX on one TV. On the 5th TV, you would have to watch recorded TV or the same channel as one of the other TVs.

2. You are recording NBC and ABC on the DVR. You can watch CBS on one TV and FOX on one TV. On the other 3 TVs, you would have to watch recorded TV or the same channel as one of the other TVs.

3. You are recording NBC, ABC, CBS, and FOX on the DVR. On all 5 TVs, you have to watch recorded TV or the same channel as is being recorded.

For all of these, if someone wanted to watch Cartoon Network, they wouldn't be able to without someone changing from NBC, ABC, CBS or FOX to Cartoon Network.

Here is AT&T's official explaination:
http://www.att.com/esupport/article.jsp?sid=KB401042&title=Understanding+U-verse+TV+streams#fbid=mdidjeQRxJX

Thank you for that information. I canceled my install and only then did the person on the other end agread that I would no be a good fit for their service. They claim they are working on it and she also reported everyone else that I talked to for retraining.
I was her 3rd call for the day with the same issue.

How many TV can be viewed with U-verse at the same time. I have 5 TV 2 of which are HD. Last time I tried U-verse when the HDTV were on the standard tv could not be viewed. With in a month U-verse was gone.
So here I am faced with changing service again and me being with ATT wireless for 14 years, I want to give them a chance plus I like the every room DVR.
Can I get some user input. 
HD quality compared to DTV?
Number of simultaneous live TVs that can be viewed?
Do the channel change when I hit the button? (people with DTV know what Iam talking about)
Is the hardware reliable?
Do the channel go out when it rains? Roll Eyes kidding.

I am so over this crap. You gave me a free HDDVR when you dropped G4TV and that was OK, but with this new line up there is no pacifying. This is a breach of contract on your part and I will be out.
Time to call AT&T or Bright house before the mas exidos from DTV. Greedy dumb  asses.

DIRECTV IS AT IT AGAIN
DirecTV is dropping channels…again. This time, DirecTV is threatening to drop Nickelodeon, MTV, BET, COMEDY CENTRAL, and more. We’re disappointed that this is happening, especially since we’ve been working day and night to come to a resolution. We even granted DirecTV a deal extension. We simply can’t understand why DirecTV doesn’t value the channels its subscribers watch the most.

Viacom is 20% of DirecTV’s viewership, and only 5% of its programming costs. We over deliver for DirecTV, but are hugely undervalued. Our most recent offer to DirecTV asks for what amounts to pennies a day for 26 channels, and we remain willing to negotiate.

Because of DirecTV you will lose hundreds of shows you and your family enjoys day in and day out. No more SpongeBob. No more VMA’s. No more Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert. No more Jersey Shore.

Why is DirecTV taking away your channels?

The fact is that DirecTV would rather fight than work to make a fair deal with Viacom. In the past three years, DirecTV has fought publicly and bitterly with seven different programmers. During the same period, Viacom has made dozens of deals peacefully and productively, without a single fight. The record speaks for itself.

DirecTV is fighting again. Make sure you don’t lose the channels and shows you love. Call 800-531-5000 now and demand that DirecTV keep Nickelodeon, MTV, BET, COMEDY CENTRAL, and all 26 Viacom channels.

haven't had any queues yet, but I was just in and got disconnected during single player.  now I'm getting error 37.  makes me want to look and see if anyone has figured out alternative ways of playing.

To me it's more about EA's attitude than about the quality of Origin. I refuse to support companies that treat me like shit, which means both EA and Ubisoft currently get the middle finger from me. I'm continually amazed at how many people proclaim that you should "vote with your dollars", yet almost nobody has the backbone to actually follow through. I do, and I will.

I agree.....but its SIMCITY V.

Ive been watching the GodFather remastered on AMC Monday night and it got me Jonesing to play a gangster game. Gangsters came to mind, I searched Stem and gamefly (new PC thing they got now) nothing. I checked my back log and behold I still got my gangsters2 CD, no product Key needed. I ve been playing the hell out of it all night, I forgot how good that game was. Why they never made a 3rd version.
What was the last throwback you played?

It looks good reads great images and the voice commands are on point even with my Island accent mon. Then there is This that's due next month. My kids loves it, I like how it tracks me when I am at my desk talking via video chat and I don't need a mic. I was not one for it but I give it a tumbs up at $110.

so, this is out now.  the question is this:  do I grab it even though I haven't had a chance to play 3 (or 2 or 1), all of which I own on Steam? icon_lol

No.  4 is nothing more than a refined version of 3 (which was fine anyway).  I'd play 3 and if you like it, pick 4 up on sale.

If you're dying to get rid of $35, just send it to me via PayPal.

thanks for the advice on T4.  I thought about it after I posted and T3 should hold me over nicely until the Holiday Sale (less than 3 months away!).

GET T4, I played T3 to death along with T1,reloaded and T2. T4's demo is awesome the pop up missions is a nice touch. The training\tutorials alone makes the game easy for new comers to get into. The demo holds your hand more than any of the tropico games combined. Even If your a big guru in city builders you will find the older versions of tropico hard to get into, especially when you find yourself voted out of office just as you get things going. 
You will be fine with T4 plus steam gives yo T1 and T2 if you pre-order now.

I just had some coffee that reminded me of this topic. Wow its been almost 2 years now since my first cup of brew. I remembered when it was all about the flavor coffee for me, I could not understand why people did not like flavor coffee.
Well I am not sure when or even how I stopped drinking flavored coffee, but one thing is for sure now that shit is nasty.. I just had me a cup and was like this shit must be spoiled. I tried a fresh new package and flavor and the same nasty after taste.
It got me thinking of this post and how people said I would grow out of the flavored coffee phase. I am not sure how, but it did happen.
My brew of choice now, is Eight O'Clock 100% Columbian, Starbucks morning Joe, and the very hated MaxuelHouse (Work). with French Vanilla or Hazelnut Creamers. Although I do like to try different creamers from time to time.
I am not big on black yet but can handle it with 4-6 sugars. Just a week ago I was introduced to espresso, wooooh.
Just taught I share that with you all.

This is only the most recent. 

We have had similar situations in here in SE Tennessee as well. 

I'd implement a policy to shoot on sight if I were in charge.  Guess it's good I'm not in charge.

Thats some bullshit. I am sure any parent that recognizes their child\children on there wont do a damn thing. I showed my son 16 yeah old son this and told him if he ever, ever, ever, think of some crap like this he will get an Island style ass cutting... I don't care how old you is. Parents need to raise and talk to their children.

Ps a "ass cutting" is not literal. its a whooping with a belt,shoe,electric chord, or anything that will not break a bone or tear the skin. It does enough to make you understand that the cause was not worth the punishment. If you have two parents it may happen twice.

I cant believe that I never given this series a play, Ive always for some reason taught it as a card game.  I am very interested in HOMM6 to the point I downloaded the demo of HOMM5  to give it a try before I buy last night. I just saw that Steam is having a complete pack sale for $4.99 I am downloading it right now.
I plan to play V and the accompanying expansions with intentions to complete in time for the release of VI.

it's a territory or a commonwealth or something that pays taxes.
And No none of the territories pay taxes. Thats why they remain territories all the benefits of been American with out the taxes. Every election the option is on the ballets and every election its voted down by the people to remain a territory and not become the 51st State.

really?  I saw this on Wiki:

Quote
The U.S. Government classifies Puerto Rico as an independent taxation authority by Federal Law 48 U.S.C. § 734. Puerto Rico residents are required to pay U.S. federal taxes, import/export taxes,[100] federal commodity taxes,[101] social security taxes etc. Individuals working with the Federal Government pay federal income taxes while the rest of the residents are required to pay federal payroll taxes (Social Security[102] and Medicare),[103] as well as Commonwealth of Puerto Rico income taxes. All federal employees,[104] plus those who do business with the federal government,[105] in addition to Puerto Rico-based corporations that intend to send funds to the U.S.,[106] and some others[107] also pay federal income taxes. In 2009, Puerto Rico paid $3.742 billion into the US Treasury.[108]

I was talking about the USVI, IDK how Puerto Rico got themselves into that mess.. SMH
