Over the last 3 weeks the service has been horrific. Consistent outages (at least 3 times daily). Problems with the router, glitches in video and sound delivery. Yes, it is sharper but I just want to be able to watch and record TV consistently.</p> I was a big fan of U-verse when I first got it. Over the last 3 weeks the service has been horrific.

Signed up Homezone/Dish in January and can say it is a nice integration of Full home DVR, VOD via WiFi/DSL, Yahoo Photos, Caller ID pop-up etc.. The Web remote is a nice touch to manage DVR recordings and program guide.</p> <p>I started with 1.5DSL and upgraded to 6Mbps to speed up the VOD streaming from Akimbo. Search and UI are intuitive but limited. Parental Controls, Payment Authorization, Yahoo Launchcast choices is primitive.</p> <p>Overall very cool addition to the media room. Wonder what the roadmap to space shifted viewing, mobility and life outside the AT&T/Yahoo/Akimbo walled garden.</p> Havent seen Homezone reviewed or even mentioned much!

Overall very cool addition to the media room. Wonder what the roadmap to space shifted viewing, mobility and life outside the AT&T/Yahoo/Akimbo walled garden.

The main thing to get is this: it’s not just a cable replacement. Its looking at how AT&T can deliver content and sell ads over three screens. That’s where they are heading.

My blog, http://www.3screens.net is a consumer facing blog focused on this.

FiOS and U-verse are a good start. Its not the end game though, just a piece of the puzzle.
