I have the Bose Cinemate Series II speaker system and the tech could not figure out how to get it to work with their remote. Any chance anyone of you has had a similar problem?

It's only been two days and I'm really loving this Uverse. No more pixilation and no more of the annoying error code "This channel will be available shortly Error Code: S0600" which occurred on a daily basis.

We have two Uverse phone lines with unlimited long distance. So far, the service has been quite good. They're VOIP and when we first had them set up, you could hear a slight bit of bleed over when the the second line would ring while talking on the first, but this has since gone away. I also have the new Magic Jack that doesn't need a PC to plug into. To be honest, the quality with it is every bit as good.

Ditto! The layout of the remote does stink but you get used to it. As far the DVR, it's slow like all the others I've in the past (TW, Dish and Directv). Not sure why these cable companies can't come up with a fast/responsive DVR unit. Even moving around in the Guide is slow on the DVR compared to the non-DVR unit I have. Oh well, service is great and anyone who subscribes will be happy.
FYI...when you're discounts expire, just call AT&T and they'll get you hooked up with another discount.

We had Uverse Voice for about a year and didn't have any problems with it. It has some nice features, but we used it so little that we couldn't justify the cost. We have switched to Majic Jack plus (where you don't have to leave the computer on, it plugs into the router) and we are very happy with it. I also get an email when there is a voice mail and can listen to it from the email. Very convenient, good sound, and the price can't be beat.

Oh, and when I called to cancel Voice, I was told to keep the battery backup for the router (which is nice because our cell phones can use wifi even in a power outage) and we were given a deal for faster internet and a lower cost that we would have had by just dropping the phone. I have never had anything but great customer service from ATT...for phone, DSL, or Uverse.

We've had it for about 4 days, and no complaints. We've watched on demand, dvr, used the phone and interent. It's great! Much better than TWC cable. We had AT&T Dsl and phone before.

Keep in mind I took the "everything" package for the first year, but if you work them enough, you can have the 450 channel pkg, 25mb internet and two home phone numbers for around $160 / mo
Thanks

I tried the codes listed in this link, as well as a few others found on the same forum, none of them worked.

So Bobcat,
Curious how you're feeling about Uverse after the first month. I just received a statement showing an added $5.00 late fee while the same bill clearly shows my last payment received Feb 1. AT&T will consistently nickle and dime you to death.
7. Federal Universal Service Fund 4.83
8. State Cost-Recovery Fee 0.34
11. State Cost-Recovery Fee 0.59
12. TX Local Video Facilities Fee 0.94
13. TX Local Video Service Franchise Fee 4.69
4. State Cost-Recovery Fee 0.07
Not to mention, I'm on hold with them now regarding a $5.00 late fee added to my account on the 1st day of the month which was the exact date they received my payment.
Payment - 02/01 $180.00CR
02/01 Past Due Collection Fee 01/29/2012 5.00
Who makes the 1st day of the month a late day?

What did the bill say the due date was? It's usually clearly marked in the Due Date box.

01/29/12 , but I've had this changed no less than 3 times. I have automated payments set up for all "Fixed" amount bills for the 4th of every month and anything that fluctuates I do manually between the 1st and 5th. AT&T keeps reverting it back to a date that makes it easy to collect an additional $5. I think it's just another AT&T tactic.

You can setup auto draft and avoid these issues. I would still check the bill for potential errors, but you'll never be late.

We used to have AT&T automatically charge to our credit card on the due date every month. Worst case if they mess up your bill and refuse to fix it you can dispute it with your credit card company.
Also I hated those misc fees AT&T charged us. We switched from Uverse to Directv and we now pay only sales tax on top of the monthly plan cost. A few months ago we switched from Uverse voice to regular phone line thinking that we'd save money, well the bill each month came to around $28!!! That's just a basic touch tone phone line, no caller id, call waiting or nothing. And it wasn't even an extended area number. I got so fed up I just went to amazon.com and bought an Ooma box. Now I only pay a $4 fee a month, which is what the government charges, not Ooma.
Sorry, didn't mean to hijack the topic and turn it into "Finally I say goodbye to AT&T", but the mention of the fees obviously touched my nerve!

I absolutely LOVE it.... no more pixelation since I switched over.
My old Time Warner bills also had these "nickel & dime" fees so it's not just an AT&T thing.
By bundling my services with Uverse, I'm paying about $35 less per month pre-tax than I was before for tv, phone, & internet, not to mention more channels & unlimited long distance calls within the 48 contigous US states.
The only billing issue was my "final" bill for the analog phone & internet service I had before bundling. Since they pro-rated the month I switched, they overlapped and billed me a couple of days on both the analog final bill and the initial Uverse bill. For my troubles, they gave me a $20 credit towards next month's bill.

You should really look at the latest MagicJack offering. The new MagicJack no longer requires a PC and operates independently with a broadband connection. Truth be told, the quality exceeds the VOIP I'm receiving from AT&T and cost me literally $60 for five years of unlimited service. I call internationally for pennies a min plus as a member, they give you an 800# to use from a mobile phone when you're not home.
