Hey, just pm me your address and I can look it up. I can get you setup also, and get the job behind me. Can I pick up your referral? They give us credit for signing people up. Thanks

I plug it into the box, and hit TV/Video button, and nothing. KITT help me out
Are you trying to connect your PS3 to the modem or the back of the digital box. You can do either one, what you have to do is plug in the ethernet cord to the PS3/360/wii with the modem/digital box on and the game system on. Then turn on the game system and it should be able to find a new IP address

I know I can get a internet signal, but im trying to get the A/V hooked up. I think the problem is the AT&T STB does not have any inputs other than a regular RF Coax Cable input(thats it...)

So I went and bought Phillips HDMI Splitter (50 bucks+Tax) and have one HDMI cable from the TV going to the "HDMI Out" port and the other two "HDMI IN" ports are occupied by the UVerse and the PS3 Which the splitter has Two Channels to switch from one or the other. I broke a 5 meter HDMI cable yesterday so I have to go get another one (F*ckin sucks, I was soo pissed)

Im waiting from the AT&T guy to come before I go out and buy another one, maybe he can hook me up with a free cable(he already gave us FREE RGB HD component cables for the master bedroom, which was cool)

When I signed up for Uverse the guy gave me an HDMI cable. However, the quality of the cable was terrible and in return made the picture bad. You're probably better off buying a new one. I would probably use the one he gives you for a while and order one online.

I work for att in a home office building we have here in Amarillo.The due dates really arnt very bad anymore unless your in Houston they are still over a month.From what I see the only problems is with the initial install after the customer gets installed and running no complaints.

Unfortunately, AT&T isn't even sure if they service our new neighborhood. I may have no choice but to get Comcrap. We'll see how it goes.
Well, here it is 12 days later and still no word from AT&T. Then I see they are going to go on strike for more pay and better bennies. Really lousy timing to go on strike. With people having a hard time making ends meet these people go on strike demanding more pay and bennies. Nothing wrong with that just really obnoxious timing. Since I haven't heard from AT&T and being pissed about this strike, again really horrible timing, I called Comcast to get my internet service established. Will be out Tuesday to do it. Sorry AT&T, 8 times to get it right and this is how I'm treated. Cya!
