AT&T ran the U-Verse cable past my house a year and a half ago and yet they still deny the service saying it is unavaible. Why would AT&T spend the money to run the cable to add new customers, but then deny the service. It makes it seem like they just dont wan't me as a customer because it took them

Getting black screens at random and randomly screen will go out. Buttons lag on remote.

Screen will randomly go black Then come back. Often the screen will go blank then a direct tv connect screen comes up. To pause, fast forward, change channel, and to even turn on lags about 20 seconds. I have changed the batteries in the remote as well.

Ran across a problem with trick play

Noticed while recording 3 shows and watching another, trick play would not work.  I assume that since all 4 streams are in use the DVR has no place to buffer.  No biggy just glad I know this so I can schedule recordings accordingly.

Random shutdowns

I have been annoyed by my DIRECTV Stream box randomly shutting down in the middle of a program for no reason at all. This is very disturbing, and it gives me a good reason to cancel my service if it continues. I am not going to pay $175 a month for this crap if it keeps occurring.

Random recordings

I am new to Directv and its DVR, so forgive the newbie question.  Why does the DVR record shows that I have not scheduled, specifically things on the PPV channels?  I'm guessing it's part of the "You Might Like" feature.  Is there anyway I can adjust the settings or control what is being recorded?
