That should not have happened.  Did you try to force the update (get the Gear screens to reload the software)?

Phase 2 came last night to the Cleveland suburb , Beechwood, OH.

It looks great!

 

Does anyone know if this upgrade fixes the intremittant HDMI connection issues that some televisions, particularly some Samsung models,  have with their STB?

I guess I will soon find out.

It appeared to have fixed the HDMI connection problem with my Samsung TV. I haven't had the problem since I got the update. I am keeping my fingers crossed.

I will keep my fingers crossed, too.   The HDMI connection issue has been my only major complaint about U-verse.   If this upgrade really fixes that issue, it will be for me appreciated far more than any of the other enhancements.

 

The only other thing I would love to add to a wish list for future upgrades would be an improved GUIDE.

Wouldn't it be nice if the Guide offered you a way of grouping channels by topics: sports, news, movies, comedy, educational, shopping, etc.?

I really hate going through 400 channels just to find all the movies that are showing at a particular time.

Well, after being out of town (Houston), and unplugging everything before I left, I saw the update when I plugged everything back in.  Thought maybe it would finally fix the 5.1 sound issues.  See lots of people who have their problems fixed - unfortunately not mine. 

 

I have the surround option, but if I use it with the HDMI connection to my Yamaha RX-V1600 Av receiver, I get no sound at all.   If I hook up the optical again, I get intermittent sound - maybe the sound kicks in every 30 seconds or so for a couple of seconds.  Still stuck with 2 ch stereo. 

 

Worked with comcast cable, and no problems with my Blu Ray player, just the ATT box :smileysad:

Did you check your settings at Options->Audio/Language Options->Digital Audio output after the update?

I am not familiar with your particular receiver but you might have to change the audio input if you didn't.

Grouping?  Funny you should ask!  The Web Remote (off all things) now has exactly what you are wanting (albeit just sports / kids / movies) but not the Guide.  Go figure! :smileytongue:

Or you can go to http://www.uversecentral.att.com in the TV section click Manage my dvr settings, a box wil appear also asking for your primary UV e-mail address and password. RC's link may be better if you don't have Uverse voice and you don't have manage your phone settings, too.
