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.

They played with U-Verse in Reno, Nevada, specifically their
TV/internet/fiber service, it absolutely was NOT compatable with Ham radio
and I saw an on AT&T site when a friend was researching it recently, AT&T
stated that they wouldn't install U-Verse where two-way radio equipment
was.
This was in late September.
