U-Verse TV Louisiana

Does anyone know why we are still unable to get WVLA-TV, Channel 33 in Baton Rouge? It seems like a year since we've been able to view on U-verse. I think it's terrible that we are not getting updates and that the channel has not broadcast for months.

Do the LINK and HD lights on the receiver always stay on? They are small but very bright and light up a dark room.

poor picture quality- very dark

Hello, I switched from cable to Directv a few weeks ago.  One of the things I'd heard is that the picture quality on Directv is superior to that from cable.  I'm sorry to say that I'm not experiencing this.  The picture I'm receiving on many channels is not as crisp (even those that were not HD on c

When is Channel 40 going to come back?

It has been out a long time. I missed the college games today, and if I miss our NFL teams because of DTV's inability to fix this issue, it is time for Comcast.  Comcast is my internet provider, and it is easy for me to move over to them. I spend approximately over $3k year for DTV services
