AT&T brings U-verse to 250,000 San Diego homes

Nary a month after AT&T celebrated the one-year anniversary of U-verse in Los Angeles, the operator is sparking the party back up with a similar celebration for San Diego. Since launching in June of 2007, AT&T has delivered access of its fiber-based TV / internet service to over 250,000 domiciles in the Greater San Diego area. Granted, it didn't say how many actually took advantage and signed up, but it's still maintaining that it will have one million subscribers before 2009 dawns. We'll see, now won't we?

They won't get my money unless it works with Cable Cards in my TiVO HD.

As in, never.

I wouldn't say never, since Verizon FiOS supports cableCARDs. AT&T will probably come around, especially if they see that they are losing customers (or not getting new ones) because of the CableCARD issue. Best bet would be to contact them and tell them you are not interested until they support TivoHDs. I'm in the same boat, btw. My neighbor has had U-Verse for quite some time and he loves it. I'm sticking with TWC so I can use my TivoHD

does AT&T offer up a decent DVR box & service?

That number would be 23062

Sounds good but they need FTTH/FTTP. Hopefully they can start doing that by next year. That way there would be more bandwidth so you can have more streams. However AT&T would rather use their inferior FTTN so they can make more profit. Fiber is going down so hopefully they can consider it since new developments are getting it.

Maybe Uverse will get 4 hd streams. New technologies could get up to 58.6 Mbps. Should give more hd streams and channels. Maybe there is hope.
