[mythtv-users] ATT U-verse - any users yet recording successfully?

[Eric Holt (MythTV)]

Hi Brad.  I use MythTV with my U-Verse service, and it works great.

I have a PVR-150 card.  I bring the signal from the AT&T set top box 
into the PVR-150 card via S-Video.  I use the PVR-150's IR blaster to 
change channels on the set top box with a simple external channel 
changing script.  It took some play to get everything going just right, 
but once I got it, its been perfect ever since.  I've been doing this 
now for about 2 months... I think we got U-Verse on January 18th.

If you want to see any of my configuration files or what-not just let me 
know.  Oh btw, my recordings look fricken great.  I just have a standard 
def TV, but U-Verse's SD signal looks amazing compared to our old 
Comcast SD signal.  Its fantastic!  I couldnt be happier, plus we're 
saving right at $45/month for almost the exact same level of service.


Good luck,
  --Eric
