They rolled out uVerse here in Saint Louis just a few weeks ago. When I phoned in to inquire, they did inform me that they were going to run fibre to the house and replace my copper with fibre. Not sure if this is a new developement, but does sound like it may address one of the biggest bottlenecks.
We signed up for U-Verse in Mid December. We have had at least 7 service calls dealing with issues regarding grounding, picture quality, set top boxes going bad, unbalanced lines to the house etc.
We have 5 televisioins hooked up to the service and four work great but we have a brand new 47" LG LCD and the picture through U-Verse is not good. We had a tech out here today and he replaced the HDMI Cable with a new one and the picture was better but their was no audio. We ended up using a component cable through our surround sound to get audio and the HDMI to get video but the picture is still not good. We also tried to get the picture using component cables but that picture was worse than the HDMI (which suprised me because ATT says while HDMI will work they dont support it. They said to use component cables because there is not a difference in quality between the two.
Does anyone know if it is a compatiblility issue with LG and U-Verse or if U-Verse just doesn't have a true High Def signal?
“An engineer explained to us that hundreds of ear impressions were gathered in the name of research, and while each one obviously boasted its own unique shape and size, one single characteristic remained uniform across the board: the entrance into the ear canal is not a perfect circle, it's an oval.”
