Can you please tell me when

Can you please tell me when U-Verse will be offered in my city. I live in Kimberly, Wi. 54136. When U-Verse went online in Appleton last year they had told me I could get it in 2009. Can I get any updates on a release time. I currently have Dish Network and my contract is up this summer and I don't want to renew with them . I'm really interested in U-Verse and its bundle packages.Any info would be great.

Thanks Jeffrey

Unfortunately due to

Unfortunately due to competitive reasons availability dates are not even released to employees let alone the general public. The only way to get an idea if it is eventually coming to your area is if you find a VRAD (http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t60/uverseuser/vrad2.jpg or http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1322/1414034185_fbf3d4cadc.jpg?v=1190327547) near your home. The closer it is the better your odds are. As for Kimberly the only area that I am aware of that has service right now is near 441, south of Kimberly Ave, off of S Rodger St and W 3rd St. The VRAD is in Van Daalwyk Park.

I've seen the Vrad boxes in

I've seen the Vrad boxes in Darboy just down the road and Appleton New-berry St. just west of Kimberly. I will just keep an eye out for some new boxes. Thanks

I have master bed room and a

I have master bed room and a guest bed room with a common wall. AT&T uverse cable box is in the master bed room connected to a TV. There is a TV in the guest bed room which is rarely used. The co-axial cable in the master bed room is split via a 'T' connection, with one end going to cable box which is connected to the TV in the master bed room. The other end of the 'T' connection is connected to a TV in the guest bed room, directly without any cable box. I am told that I should be able to see the same TV program in the guest bed room as the one seen in the master bed room. How do I make it happen? Thanks.

So you have a physical wire

So you have a physical wire going through the common wall from the splitter in the master bed room to the TV in the guest bedroom? Was that splitter in place before AT&T installed? I assume it was, probably from cable TV service?

If so, assuming there is a "coax out" jack on the AT&T receiver, just connect the coax cable that goes into the guest bedroom to it. You'll then be able to lose that splitter and connect the line feeding it directly into the coax in jack on the AT&T receiver.

I'm not sure when this

I'm not sure when this happened but I noticed the other day that I can now view 3 HD streams at a time instead of the documented 2 HD streams. I'm not sure if it is because I'm in a newer area with fiber runs?

Anyway, can anyone else confirm this in their area?
