Hello,
I got U-Verse service about a month ago and I have been using the excellent UV Realtime program to monitor the performance of the RG & line quality...but I'd appreciate some assistance in analyzing the performance.
I'm happy with U-Verse so far, though I've had some intermittent issues with On Demand (occasional freezing or "not available" message) and with my wireless receiver (freezing, black screen, "network problems" causing recorded programs to stop playing). I think the black screen issue involves my use of HDMI & an AV receiver that switches HDMI (causing loss of HDCP handshake/authorization), but I'd like to know whether my UV Realtime screenshots indicate that there's a problem that I should call AT&T about.
I have no boxes connected via Coax/HPNA (one Ethernet-connected DVR that sits ~8 ft from the RG, and one wireless receiver downstairs), and I'm using my own router (Linksys WRT160N running DD-WRT) which is connected using the DMZplus option on the RG.
Thanks in advance!



EDIT: I should mention that my bitloading graph looked more "full" (especially in the upper frequencies) previously than it does now.

Looking at your bitloading graph, I'd say you have line problems. Specifically, I'm thinking a bridge tap. I'd call technical support and have them get someone to test your lines.

Great, thanks! What can I tell technical support to get them to check the line? I'm assuming that telling them about a graph in a third-party program isn't enough to warrant a truck roll ![]()

List your specific problems and have them check your line and go from there. Let us know what happens, good luck. ![]()
