[RFI] AT&T U-Verse RFI?

No problem installing U-Verse at my location..and I can run a high RF output 
consistently if need be.  I have no interference what-so-ever.

U-Verse, on the other hand, is a crappy service, well documented with 
failure upon failure with their AT&T U-Verse access points.  Degradation of 
video and audio is common place, failure of their DVR's is common and 
although not a failure point, AT&T's parochial, paranoid attitude about 
piracy is unfounded and ridiculous.  (They will not implement the USB 
feature on their DVR boxes so we can connect an external hard drive to store 
season long shows for viewing at our own time frame.)  Cable allows it, DISH 
allows it, and I suspect Direct Tv allows it...the formatting on the 
external hard drive is proprietary so it cannot be hooked up to a computer 
and the content viewed.  In fact, if you have to have your DVR exchanged, 
the programs on the attached external hard drive will be lost.  In 
short...piracy of programs would be very difficult.

Needless to say, as soon as my contract expires, I am out of here..as far as 
U-Verse is concerned.  The 24 MBps of internet access is just not worth it.
