As many U-verse subscribers have been waiting since the launch of AT&T Uverse is for the launch of the multi-room DVR. Well, I'm in the DFW area here in Texas and I can tell you I have it today and without warning. This morning my wife calls me from work telling me one of the STB's is not working, the main one, the DVR. So instruct her to reset the box and go through the standard trouble shooting steps. It comes back online and everything is normal. After a few hours at work I start thinking about news I have …

It seems a little buggy but it works and trust me it's nice for my wife to be able to watch her shows from the bedroom while football is one the Big Screen!

I bet you guys get it soon because it's just a software push.

I have to admit, this isn't bad, but not totally what I was expecting or hoping for.

It's not pointless or worthless, but at the same time, I was hoping I could rewind or forward through a liveprogram on any TV. You can't do that…you still have just one DVR mechanism. Again, not too bad, and that one has a hard drive, and I guess the other boxes do not have a storage device, so it probably cant' be done.

But given the fact they recently trimmed the rewind time of about 2 hrs down to just one, I was hoping they could all do it.

That, and you cannot view or modify scheduled recordings. I was hoping you could do that, but at least you can control that through the Internet so that's not all bad. I wonder if those features will be coming one day.

Other than that, I'm quite thrilled with it!

One trick that is kind of a pain but it works if you need to pause a live show you might be watching in another room. What we do if we know we might need to pause frequently we just go in the DVR room and set it to record then go back in the other room and watch it from the recorded shows so we can pause, ff, and rw as we please.

Have fun with the whole room dvr!

Whole Room DVR is so nice to have!

Zapp,

Your right the fastforward is different and a bit tricky to get used to but I think I like it because I usually pass my show fastfowarding anways, so this allows me to actually get it to stop on time nearly. And the colisidation of the recordings for series is nice, because it takes away from the clutter.

Really? I haven't seen either of those but my wife is going to college during the days and is home, so she may have got the message and didn't tell me.

Surely wouldn't be a surprise! Laughing
