I have Uverse and I'm almost perfectly happy with it.
I have not noticed any of the signal problems others have explained.
Perhaps I'm not picky enough or some areas are worse than others. What shows does this show up on the most?

I also found that you can record 2 HD channels and 2 SD channels at the same time which is not advertised that well. One negative is that the DVR isn't as easily upgraded as a Tivo. Therefore I'm forced to record some tv shows in SD to keep space available for long races or multiple football games.

The search is actually not that bad compared to TV. You cannot create auto-record wishilists, and you cannot set a maximum number of episodes, but other than that, it is very good.

I really like the remote viewing option. It is cool to be able to watch the same DVR shows upstairs. TivoHD cannot do this.

Another negative is you cannot watch shows on your computer like you could with Tivo. You have to have an extra box and a slingbox to do this.

The one big factor for me was that I could get more HD channels with UVerse than what TimeWarner offered, including NFL Network. I did save around $20 a month and that included faster internet as well!

I still have my lifetime service, upgraded, HD Tivo sitting in the cabinet though. Just in case UVerse screws up I can switch back to Time Warner if needed.
