How do you find out when U-Verse will be available?

the website or call them

By the way, made the switch last Saturday. The internet speeds are about the same as Comcast, which is fine. The whole home DVR is great. The one downside is I use my PC a lot when watching TV and Uverse doesn't work as well with Windows Media Player as Comcast. My wife and son are very happy with the change.

 

If it's like every other telephone/cable company, you can search for it online or call them... if they can't give you anything more certain than "soon" or anything less than "3-6 months", they have no idea....

 

I was talking to a buddy about this over the weekend.

According to the website, it's not available in my area. He said to call them because the website showed it was unavailable in his area as well. He said the guy on the phone told him it's actually available anywhere with a phone line, but you just have to call them.

He also said they will beat any other offer from any other company. They are hungry for business, so they are always open to a deal and the phone guys have full autonomy to make whatever deal they want to.

As soon as my Embarq contract runs out, I'm going to go with U-verse.

 

Explain this, please. Why do you have to use Windows Media Player with u-Verse? How do you have this set up?

 

If you want to use your PC as a TV, you have to have a PC tuner card and use Windows Media Player. Plug the cable into the card, set it up and you are good to go.

I don't want to have a PC monitor and a TV on my office desk. Not enough room for both.
