Why did yall cut inches of the standard def tv service. Someone buys a 42" tv and thanks to u watches a 38" picture. It's b*******. I'm sure yall remember when the pic was full screen, yall are all old enough to remember that. And even though we do have HD service when I switch it to the same channel I was watching in standard..... ooops, no picture at all on hd. I wish more people would realize howur screwing them. I hope soon to never pay anothertv bill and will onlywatchhulu/Netflix or anything other than the big corps crap. 1 star overall service.

Are you paying for HD service? Perhaps that is the reason you have no picture when you turn to an HD channel. Are you even a U-Verse subscriber?

5 stars for the Ronco reference.

From what I am reading, the OP does not have HD service in the first place. He says that when he goes to the HD channels he gets "no picture at all on hd".

Even with an analog television, if you are paying for HD, you still get the HD channels, although they are not in HD since they are not HD televisions.

I bet he jumped on the bamdwagon of the other poster who had letterbox / barndoor issues.  At least they posted screenshots.

I have the same problem and agree with ubigcorps.you all can provide

Now that Comcast and Netflix have made their deal, we may be headed back to Comcast ourselves, certainly after paying more than $14,000 or $15,000 this year alone and having ATT techs out to the house at least 3 dozen times in 2014~~I'm not exaggerating one bit.  They may have even been here 4 dozen times, I'm trying to underestimate, for fear of being a drama queen, and I don't want to make it sound worse than it is (it's pretty awful.)

I should have clarified~~the $14,000 plus was for repairs that ATT didn't seem capable to do, or willing to do.  After we were hacked and invaded with malware, spam, viruses, you name it, and oh, speaking of which I think I need to investigate my Paypal accounts because it appears that someone went on ANOTHER spending spree last night while we were all asleep, nasty little criminals come alive at night and I get these alerts in the morning at about 6 am or so after I've had enough coffee to look at my email~~nice way to wake up, huh?

So you're blaming AT&T for someone hacking into your computer? 

I've had Uverse for over 7 years and no one has ever hacked into my computer.  But then again, I have a good firewall and virus protection program.  *shrugs*

This is a U-Verse forum. You need to call Comcast to see about switching providers. I hope you are not under contract with U-Verse. Sorry, I do not have the phone number you need to contact Comcast.
