But you still have to pay for HD on both of those. Not so with Cox, except for having the HD tuner. Which is no more expensive than the standard digital tuner. |

I know DirecTV has some channels included in base plans, I believe Cox and at&t do the same thing. |

The only HD channels Cox charges you for are the premium channels (Cinemax, HBO, Sho, Starz) as part of the premium cost. There's no extra charge for premium HD. Everything else is included with the cost of whatever tier you have. |

You can have up to 4 at the $15ish per month price. Records 8 shows in HD. Woot. |

$15/mo each? UVerse costs $7/mo for an additional box which has HD and the total home DVR. Cox is more than double. I'd like to get HD in the bedroom but I don't think $15/mo is worth it. |

If HD is free on Cox, why do I have to pay for the digital cable and not just basic to get it? That ain't free..

Cox offers analog service, unlike AT&T. A fair comparison is Cox Digital Cable vs. AT&T. Cox Digital Cable includes HD at no additional charge. AT&T's U-Verse service does not include HD channels. You pay at least $10 and up to $15. So Cox HD is free when compared to AT&T. A second receiver from Cox is $5.25. A second receiver from AT&T is either $5 or $7. So Cox even has better rates here. AT&T's On Demand service is much more limited than Cox. And they don't have nearly the HD On Demand than Cox does. Cox provides shows from ABC and NBC (Grey's Anatomy, Lost, Desperate Houswives, Heros, for example) free On Demand the day after it was broadcast on the network. AT&T does as well, but Cox provides the shows free to watch an unlimited amount of times -- AT&T charges $1 per episode per view. |

With Total-Home DVR I can easily search, record, and replay any content quickly. I can even program recordings from my wireless or remotely on the web. And when I go to replay my content, there is virtually no delay in channel switching, and the picture never 'blocks' or goes all pixel on me. U-verse is a better value and a great product. Consumers agree: U-verse tops cable for satisfaction! |

Still didn't address HDPokefan's issues. Plus the fact that virtually everyone in Tulsa and most surrounding communities has access to Cox Digital. How many have access in Tulsa to Uverse? Only those with AT&T phone service, and even then, still not everyone. |

U-verse does NOT charge for DVR would be the larger point. It is so easy to record an entire series with a double click that if someone needs help understanding that i wonder if they are allowed to drive, too! Ha ha! Figgers an OSU fan would not understand D-V-R. Ha ha ha! U-verse has 10,000 movie titles on demand, Sux has what, 700? |

So how much commission is AT&T paying you for each install? Hmm? I smell an AT&T shill.... |

To get HD and DVR capabilities on an additional TV, UVerse it cheaper than Cox (and DirecTV?). I'm still not sure whether Cox or UVerse has more HD channels, but from what I'm hearing, Cox has a better HD picture. UVerse has the Total Home DVR and they allow you to set something to record via Internet, while Cox does not. To me, UVerse has superior technology but the negative reviews on the picture quality are disheartening.

The picture quality has been much much better than with Cox in my first-hand experience. I grew up devouring television, any tv, so I know what I am talking about.
Shill? Hoss, you are right. I guess I should go ahead and keep letting all the positive remarks continue and just get out of the way! Bunch of shills these consumers who participated in the JD Powers survey. Clearly have a profit motive! Hardy har!
