How Many Hours Can an AT&T U-verse Record?

Customers who receive a standard DVR may store up to 133 hours of standard definition content or 48 hours of high-definition content, so capacity varies between 37 and 133 hours of combined programming. Customers who purchase the more expensive U450 or U300 packages, however, are guaranteed a larger capacity DVR that stores up to 233 hours of SD content or 84 hours of HD content.

As your DVR nears its maximum storage capacity, the system will provide you with an on-screen warning that "Recording space is getting low." The DVR will delete the oldest program when it needs space, and specific programs can be tagged to save even if more space is needed.

U-verse features a total home DVR. This service allows users to pause the television in one room and begin watching again in another room of the home. The service's multi-view capability allows you to watch up to four shows at once on only one television; U-verse offers more than 120 HD. The DVR stores the last 90 minutes of TV on the channel you are watching, which allows you to rewind and pause live television.

You have the ability to record up to four shows at once with your U-verse equipment, and one capability of the service is that you can program your DVR from any computer or your cell phone. This allows you to verify and modify recording settings even when away from home. The DVR also allows you to set up series recordings so that your favorite shows will always record no matter when they air.
