G LOSSARY OF T ERMS DVR: Digital Video Recorder. This box records TV and allows you to play it back. A DVR requires a HD signal. HD: High Definition. You really want this if you have a flat screen TV, otherwise the picture looks poor. Without it you have SD (Standard Definition) which works fine on older TVs. If using an older TV, you do not require HD.

AT&T U VERSE This new product is Television and a great deal more, delivered by Internet Protocol. This makes it possible to deliver stock, weather, sports and traffic information on-screen in addition to games like Sudoku, Solitaire, JT’s Blocks, Mah-Jongg Tiles, Chess and fantasy football. Unique DVR features : (with paid DVR service) 4 channel DVR recording capable Remote web based programming for DVR and parental controls from internet connected computer or mobile device Watch or play recordings from up to 4 recorded shows on other TVs at once Pause a recorded show and pick it up where it paused in another room For more info: Click hereClick here

INTERNET COMPARISON* AT&T BRIGHTHOUSE Basic internet is $38 and 3Mbs (4 times faster) Free AT&T wireless hotspots across the country Dedicated connection: speed is consistent regardless of neighbor’s activity Roadrunner basic is $20 and less than 1mbs Roadrunner Standard is $47.95 and 10 mbps No hotspots Speed depends on neighbor’s usage *These products are available at the homeowner’s cost. However, it is certainly possible to share high-speed wireless internet with neighbors and save significantly.

When adding a DVR, you also get 200 channels (U200) The total is for your out of pocket cost; the association already provides the basic cable COST COMPARISON Scenario 1Digital NO HD RECEIVERNO DVR Internet TOTALS Brighthouse 8.50 - - 29.00 $ 37.50 ATT 10.00 - - 38.00 $ 48.00 Scenario 2Digital One HD receiverNO DVR Internet TOTALS Brighthouse 8.50 7.00 - 29.00 $ 44.50 ATT 10.00 - - 38.00 $ 48.00 Scenario 3Digital One HD receiverDVR Internet TOTALS Brighthouse 8.50 7.00 10.00 29.00 $ 54.50 ATT 10.00 - 13.00 38.00 $ 61.00 Scenario 4Digital 2 HD receiversDVR Internet TOTALS Brighthouse 8.50 14.00 10.00 29.00 $ 61.50 ATT 10.00 - 13.00 38.00 $ 61.00 Scenario 5Digital 3 HD receivers DVR Internet TOTALS Brighthouse 8.50 21.00 10.00 29.00 $ 68.50 ATT 10.00 7.00 13.00 38.00 $ 68.00 Summary: Only in scenario #1 does Brighthouse save you $10/mo.

R EASONS TO SWITCH AT&T requests a much shorter contract with our association and much lower potential annual increases Our cost doesn’t increase but we receive a great deal more entertainment Games, music, stocks, sports, etc 200 channels and DVR for $13 extra An account manager will be assigned to us as a single point of contact for all issues AT&T will pay the association a marketing fee of $2500 which would help our current cash position
10
R EASONS NOT TO SWITCH It is a bit of a hassle to change your service, though you certainly can opt to keep BrightHouse at your residence and pay out of pocket In bringing the Uverse network cable into your home some wiring work could be required If you have more than 2 TVs, then you may have to pay for additional set top boxes ($7.00 /mo) In the course of wiring your condo, some wire will run along baseboards and/or under carpet along walls (likely to happen if we use BrightHouse also)

Where necessary, wiring on outside of building is run inside painted conduit
