U-verse
So how do I look on U-verse? The AT&T guy showed up at 2:30pm to install. Late, but he had made two calls letting me know that he was running behind so that was acceptable. There was some question whether or not he could install…mostly because of the age of the original phone lines some nearly forty years ago. But in the end, he prevailed.
I am now receiving TV broadcasts through the phone lines. It includes a wireless internet connection so I dismantled my wireless router. I fired up my work laptop but couldn’t get it connected. I’ll have to ask around at work what I need to do to make that work. I removed my VCR from my lineup, becoming dependent on AT&T’s DVR. I’ve programmed in the programs I’ve been recording…I hope I got it right. Time will tell. I’ve got a whole new set of channels to memorize. For instance, HGTV is no longer 30, it’s now 450.
So all this is to my own betterment. But my recording for my missionary sister, Linda, may turn out more cumbersome. Linda has shows she wants recorded every night except Saturday. While I can capture them on the DVR, I will have to record them to her DVDs one at a time. Since I can record to DVD while the DVR is recording other shows, I’m hoping this will only require my checking in hourly when a timer goes off and I need to tend to the dvd recorder.
