Do you suppose if and when I get a telemarketing call from AT&T trying to sell me U-Verse that I will be able to say to the person reading the script on the other end; ‘Well, what about these declining ACSI scores?’

Honestly, I actually have been contemplating getting U-Verse due to the DVR functionality. My WOW service’s DVR is pathetic. But at least I don’t lose signals in weather like I did with my Dish Network.

If I could do without ESPN and other live sporting coverage (golf, SpeedTV Formula1), I’d ditch all of cable and buy a Home Entertainment PC and just stream my shows in addition to local over-the-air HD signals. I’d save about $100 per month.

do not hesitate...get it..I have uverse and LOVE it....they are quick to handle complaints, if you need service they are there when they say they will be there...little hint, plan carefully where they will put your gateway, and have them run ethernet cable to you dvr, where ever it may be...other than that, i am very happy with the internet and tv services...and I rolled my cell phone in, so now I only get one bill

We have U-Verse and like it.
We DVR a lot, then skim through the commercials.

There are disadvantages though.
No local weather radar. For instance when the Weather Channel has ‘local on the 8’s’, no county radar.
There is a weather channel but the radar is semi-regional.

Another point. With cable you can simply install a splitter to run another TV for the basic channels.
Not U-Verse. You have to have a converter box for every TV.

But being able to record 4 programs at once (2 of which can be HD) solved a big problem in this house. :)

You can. I hung it up some years ago. I survived and don't miss it.
