Uverse vs Direct TV

Hi @Madmamasan,

Just consider that U-verse is a brand that will most likely evolve into something called AT&T TV or AT&T Entertainment or simply DIRECTV. We don't know for sure and we are excited about what the possibilities will bring with TV's evolution. The products and technology is becoming more mobile and less about the TV receiver in your living room. Thanks for posting in the community forums and we love you being the best part of what makes our community great.

Well as I began my statement with "As a matter of fact . . . .", fact being the publication in Yahoo Finance by Zacha Equity Research. I quoted the headline word for word. It goes on to say, and I quote" Per a recent FierceCable report, U.S. telecom behemoth AT&T is planning to completely phase out its long standing U-verse brand by May 30..."

The referenced Fierce Cable article in the Zachs Equitity Research "report" actually [accurately] stated that elements of "uverse.com" may be shut down on May 30th, which they lifted from an announcement from AT&T this week.  Zachs half read out what they wanted to.

The only thing I read is that AT&T is ending its relationship with Yahoo and going to another service that will roll Uverse Com into that service as an app and close Uverse Com as it is today.

My friend across the street has DirecTV (it's only permitted in my condo complex if u don't put the dish on the roof which is owned by HOA).  She has frequent "loss of signal" errors/blank screen whenever it rains or is windy.  I've heard that same complaint from numerous DirecTV customers which makes it a non starter/show stopper for someone who likes to watch live sports on TV.  I will go back to Comcast/Xfinity if U-verse is discontinued.

Sounds like a good thing to me...

U-verse is not going anywhere...  Maybe a little name change no biggie...
