ATT Rolls Out 2 HD Streams For U-Verse

This is from the U-talk boards from member U-tech:

Quote from: http://utalk.att.com/utalk/board/message?board.id=DVR&view=by_date_ascending&message.id=4224#M4224

2HD stream support for St Louis will be launched on 04-30-08 for new members.  St. Louis will be the first market to be turned up and migration will begin for existing members as quickly as possible. Two more markets will turn up shortly after St. Louis and those include Wallingford and Atlanta. We will update on other markets as we get more information.
 

There is no action necessary on the part of the customers, once the account is migrated to 2HD/2SD the receivers will be re-boot automatically. If an existing customer adds HD after a VHO has migrated they will need to reset their receivers as the automated process is not supported.

Living in Silicon Valley it only natural, that SF/SJ Bay Area might be next in line to get  2 HD Streams. But still, at this time ATT has not rolled out their U-Verse Voice  in our area.

So what Kind of XP or Bios Error is this??.

One day, last week out of the blue, I needed to restart the system that running Window XP, and right after the PC displayed the normal Bios system information, the system just Froze and then I got this text only error screen. Of all of life, working with computers, I have never seen or come across an error message like is before.

Well the good news I was able to get my system back up in running again. I figured the first thing I should do remedy the situation was to turn off my system for about 15 minutes to let it cool down from the heat that was built up inside my system. After this event I have never encounter this error message again. and everything is back working as usual as before.

3 Free receivers - No more... WIth ATT U-Verse

Quote from: Infamshxr on April 18, 2008, 11:53:59 AM

It is true. I got the confirmation from our alerts this morning. Only the DVR (or 1 standard STB) will be free starting 4/20/08. All other STBs will have a $5 fee. This will only happen if you order is placed after 4/20/08, anything before that will still get 3 STBs free. *hint hint* *wink wink* lol

I have just check out ATT U-Verse Website and they are only Offering 1 Free HD DVR and no more Free Turners. In the Pass I was recommending  ATT U-Verse to all my Family and friends who 'for now' sticking with SDTV. But now I am going to tell them to either Stick with comcast or switch to Dish or Directv.

Even their Retail Baker Channel 9000 (Now why I don't know I getting this channel. Since I Currently do not live in a ATT Retail Store or Do not sell U-Verse from My Apt. and It repeats the same Message every minutes 24/7) The New video now reflects the new 1 Free HD DVR  no more Free Turners Offers.

It's interesting to watch that Pre ZDTV Launch Promo video to see some clips from those show that did not make the cut, When ZDTV Launch on May 11, 1998. I was not aware Leo had shot a Pilot for 60 Second Workout. Staring Leo as Chip Buff But who is Wizzy Wigg??

ATT U-Verse to 100 Linear 100 HD Channel by then end 2008??

Mr. York led AT&T’s U-verse fiber-optic television service from its late 2004 inception to its June 2006 launch, during which time he helped negotiate about 150 licensing agreements with content providers. U-verse, which has about 45 linear high-definition channels, is planning for about 100 by the end of the year, although Mr. York declined to say when the service would have video-on-demand in HD. U-verse, which reported about 230,000 subscribers in December, expects to have more than 1 million subscribers by the end of the year.

Like Verizon’s FiOS service, AT&T says it provides cost savings by bundling U-verse with AT&T’s telephone and high-speed Internet services, which satellite television customers are unable to do. More importantly, because of U-verse’s use of Internet protocol, “our video and audio quality is considered superior to our competitors,” said Mr. York. He added that a higher percentage of U-verse subscribers opt for its high-definition package than customers at competing cable and satellite services.

Well Its not the End of the World if right now ATT does not Offer Local on 8's in HD from the Weather Channel HD. Or an updated Ubar Weather Infomation in HD. 

I rather see ATT offer faster Internet Access then 20 SD Stretch-O-Vision HD of those 60 HD Channels of ATT Planning in Adding this year.

San Jose soccer stadium closer to reality

QUAKES OWNER, S.J. OFFICIALS AGREE TO $132 MILLION DEAL

By Joshua Molina
Mercury News

San Jose and a team of developers have agreed to a $132 million deal that sets the stage for a major league soccer stadium near the airport as early as 2010.

Terms of the deal must still be formally approved by the city council next month. But Monday's financial agreement between city officials and Earthquakes owner Lew Wolff and his partners is a giant step toward building the stadium and an accompanying retail, office and hotel project on the 75-acre site on Coleman Avenue.
