Why does live buffer stop while i am watching a recorded show?
Why does live buffer stop while i am watching a recorded show? For example if i select a 1/2 hr recorded comedy to watch while an hour long dram is buffering, when i come back to TV it starts at that point as if i just changed to that channel and no buffer is available.

One stream out of only four? per TV? I surely wouldn't want that. Maybe when most subscribers have gigapower they'll increase the stream limits to where that would make sense.

The number of streams is based on bandwidth limitations. That stream would be necessary for each TV Receiver, thus your "one stream" is now two extra streams for two receivers, meaning two TVs watching live TV now consume all the streams in a non-Gigapower home (and all but one in a Gigapower home).
I'm not saying that it shouldn't work the way you ask in a perfect world. However, U-verse has to work within limitations, and the stream limitation being one of the most confining. They're supposedly reengineering U-verse towards a common platform with DIRECTV. Maybe then you can get it.

Who gets to use that 'dedicated stream'? Me or family members watching the other 2 boxes?
That's like the commercial showing the family members fighting over the last Eggo!
