Hi Matthew,
I don't watch TV that much,, and couldn't justify the cost per month for the
download speed.
Besides, I had enough trouble with them just getting standard phone and
internet.
I hope you and your wife have a better experience than I did.
They didn't try and install any security software, I can't even remember if
they offered any.

Thanks for the info Rick. I am surprised you don't use it from what I know
the dvr is very accessible from the internet. Will they try and install a
trial anti virus program? I hate it when they do things like that.

Hi Matthew,
The technician will probably install software on your computer, but you
will
not need to use it, so it shouldn't be a problem for your screen-reader.
They may tell you it is necessary, but it is not, it is just for their
technical support staff's convenience,
since they can't think outside of a script. smile
I have none of their software on my computers.
I don't believe that the actual U-verse service goes on the computer, it
is
more for the TV.
If you are using AT&T service for the first time, as your ISP, beware
of the following:
If you have other e-mail addresses, like g-mail, they will have to be
registered with AT&T before you can
use them for sending mail thru AT&T's server.
I don't have the U-Verse service with them, just the dsl, but from what I
hear, your internet connection thru U-Verse should be pretty quick.
Good Luck,
Rick Justice

Hello all. Me and my wife will be having AT and T uverse set up in our
new
place. Is there anything we should ask them not to install? I know some
providers install things that are not needed and can hamper the jobs of
screen readers. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
