Can't record 4 shows at once.
Sometimes I can't even record 1 show. We have 4 tvs 1 is hd and last night we had 3 tvs on and got the message that we had to interupt a tv or stop a recording. Why does att say you can record 4 shows at once?

Everybody's U-Verse DVR works the same. It's based on how many SD and HD streams are available to you and that's based on your distance from the Vrad and signal strength. Go into Menu - Options - System Options - System information - System resources and from there you can see your SD and HD streams.

What are you meaning by limiting your tv watching? We have three boxes (2 set tops, and 1 dvr) in our house. One tv is a SD, so pretty much all programming watched on that set is non-HD, two tv's are HD, so pretty much everything on both are HD, with probably 2% SD programming on the one in the Living room, due to military channel, and non-hd premium channels.
Since we have watched everything we had recorded on our DVr, right now it is empty, with nothing planned until tomorrow to record, and something the next after that. Both will be deleted after watching. Probably when we are recording the one program tomorrow night, I will probably be watching either Netflix, or something on one of the many channels of nothing. Could be SD, or it could be HD.

Thanks for posting your info!
Here is what you can do:
WAN Profile (Streams into the RG): Watch 4 different live TV channels at the same time. Up to 2 of the channels can be HD channels.
Ingress Profile (Streams into the DVR): Record 4 programs at the same time. Up to 2 of those programs can be HD programs.
Egress Profile (Streams out of the DVR): Watch 3 recorded programs at the same time on TV's connected to the non-DVR STB's. All 3 programs can be in HD. You can also watch a 4th program on the the TV connected to the DVR.
Also, please remember that with U-verse you are restricted to 4 live streams to watch and/or record live TV at the same tme. If 2 or more TV's are tuned to the same channel, that counts as the use of a single stream. Your combination of HD and SD live and recorded streams in use at the same time is subject to the restrictions discussed above.

You can record more than one program at the same time. You can record up to 4.
As I mentioned in my earlier message, you are limited to 4 live streams in use at the same time for a combination of watching live TV or recording programs. If some TV's are in use watching live channels, that reduces the number of live streams available to record programming. You can be further restricted based on the combination of HD vs. SD channels being used.
It appears that you are on the 19/2 line profile which only allows 2 of your 4 streams to be HD. Can you download and install SomeJoe's tool at the link below?

Once you install the tool, please post screenshots of the following tabs: IP/Profile, Error Table, Bitloading, & Coax/HPNA.
We can take a look at the screenshots to see if you may possibly be able to upgrade to a profile that would increase the number of your 4 streams that are in HD.
