Here’s a warning for you all. With Uverse, it’s not possible to set timers/auto-tune on the non-dvr units.
For example, with Dish, I had 2 timers. Every weekday at 10pm, the receiver would automatically turn to Comedy Central to watch The Daily Show/Colbert Report Power Hour. And then at 11pm, it would switch to MSNBC to watch Keith Olberman. It was a great setup.
But apparently, the eggheads over at AT&T Uverse have never used Dish/DirecTV/Cable before. What if I had a VCR still? How would I use it to record things without auto-tuning.
Also, the guide is slow. Whenever you send a command using the remote, the receiver is slow to respond. I imagine there is a tiny old man with binoculars in the receiver. When he sees the IR pulse, he writes it down, and hands it over to the other old man next to him. He then slowly gets back on his stool with his binoculars and waits for the next pulse. While he’s doing that, the other old man with the command written down, hops on his bike and slowly pedals over to the old man who’s operating the levers. But that old man can’t see to well. So the messenger old man has to slowly yell (lots of moving parts, kinda noisy in there) out the command, and then old man at the levers starts pulling the levers to make things happen. My wish, is finally their command. Then the messenger old man, has to get back on his bike and pedal back to the old man who’s watching for pulses. While all this is going on, I’m sitting there pushing buttons, repeating the mantra “IPTV is the future”, and crying.
Seriously.

Its devised to make you lease another pvr. Don’t you still have that computer with the ir out dongle? You should set it up to change the channels for you. That’ll be the sole function of that 500 watt beast, to change channels for you
