Gery,
if I understand your message, I believe you were misled.  I trhink 
you can record either three or four simultaneous items and be 
okay.  My wife has the Uverse app. and it seems to do a good job.  As 
little as we watch TV, I haven't bothered to load the app. on my 
iPhone.  The TV is really here for the grandkids.
We are about in the middle of the internet speed choices and the 
speed is fine for computers running voice.  There are a c ouple of 
faster internet speeds which might be necessary for gamers but for 
general computing, mid-range speed is fine.  And our phone service is 
also a part of the package.
hope this helps.
