"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat."

Never heard of Uverse

I would be seriously disappointed if Direct TV dropped HDnet. That is one of the biggest selling points for me. That and the ability to watch an east coast feed and live strikeforce events (cox tape delays them).

We fight, get beat, rise and fight again.

At&t Uverse.

Great packages, no problems with service and I didn’t have to get the the highest package to get versus and HDnet. Plus I like that I can dvr 4 things at once 3 of which can be in HD. There are never any conflicts.
