Now I know why AT&T was so cheap.

We have 2 HD TVs in our house. The AT&T boxes have four incoming signals. Apparently only 2 of them are HD. This means, if both of us are watching something in HD, if a third thing is recording at the same time, it can't record in HD. Or one of us has to watch a non-HD channel. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THAT MAKES SENSE. IT SHOULD EITHER BE ALL HD OR NOT. IF YOU OFFER HD, IT SHOULD BE ALL HD ALL THE TIME. FUCKERS.

Not. Cool. My DirecTV does all HD all the time.

I know! It's like, that's the whole point behind having the DVR. So I can watch one thing and record another. Grr......

I know it's not any comfort, but I believe it's a bandwidth issue. I wouldn't be surprised if AT&T didn't offer a higher tier package to include 4 lines of HD. However, copper wiring can only carry so much data at one time. *shrugs*

There are some benefits to going satellite

One day, ONE DAY, we will all have fiber optic running up to and inside our homes. And I can't wait!

I guess I get it, but if Comcast can do it, so should AT&T.

I agree, totally. But AT&T think they are all that
