TV takes a minute before it goes on. Why?

When I turn my receiver on, it takes a whole minute for my TV to go on. I don’t understand why it won’t turn on at the same time as the receiver. What is the solution?  Thanks. Tom

HR21-100 takes several minutes to respond to remote commands.

My HR21-100 takes and extremely long time to respond to commands from the remote or console.   When I press my remote buttons my HD-DVR no longer responds or takes an execcive amount of time to resond.   Sometimes this may be up to 5-10 minutes.  I think the thing probably needs to be replaced.

Door to door solicitors are independent contractors and do not work for AT&T or Uverse.  Unfortunately, they will say whatever it takes to make a sale.

Can anyone, preferably from AT&T, tell me if NFL Network & RedZone are no longer being carried on U-verse?

when I hit the "menu" button, it takes me to a menu with "Mode," "Backlight," etc., rather than to a menu with "Guide" and "Favorities." How do I fix this?

Those door-to-door sales people are contractors, NOT AT&T employees and they will say whatever it takes to sign up a new customer.  I doubt that they have a clue as to what company policy is.

Removing Newsmax TV is censorship! Directv has removed another conservative news program!  This is why more and more people are removing cable and satellite subscriptions.  I would think if Directv and AT&T want to keep as many customers as possible, they should stop removing the alte

Recorded on-demand - does watching it require internet?

If I record from a channel with 1 in front of it (on demand channels), when I go to watch the program does it require internet? It almost seems like it because it says "preparing for playback" and it won't let me fast-forward through commercials but it takes up room on my dvr. We don't have great in

AMC HD Surround Sound is not right

Is it just me or is the surround sound off (ie, weird) on AMC HD ch 254? The majority of the sound seems to go to my front left speaker..including all the main dialog that should go to the center channel. This is the only channel that is doing this from what I've found so far. It was driving me nuts
