RE: AT&T U Verse does it compete with Directv for picture and sound quality?

Posted by PhilJ on December 1, 2011 at 21:50:56:
I now have Charter cable TV (SW lower Michigan Co.) and the DTV remote ease of use smokes it. The DTV really impresses me with how convienient it is to use and the cable remote is down there with Dish Network remote, maybe worse, too soon to tell.

cable sound is bad, a bit worse than DTV.

Cable picture is surprisingly good, HD as good as DTV off air and the standard def stuff is clearly better than DTV standard, so I am kind of geeked about that.

DVR works pretty nice and is supposed to hold 100 HD hours.

Overall not bad for a savings of $40.

fwiw the bottom line reason I switched is that a big tree does not permit me to use HD with DTV and they just brought my price back up (charging me for HD) after an extended discount period.

my two cents...

thanks guys!
