relocating a tv to another room
I would like to move my kitchen tv into my livingroom which does not have a cable connection in the wall - do I need a tech to come out to do that? If so what is the cost?

Call CS to get a WIRELESS STB. It does not require wiring to the DVR since it is wireless.
If you insist that a tech do this, there is a $99 fee but it’s foolish to do that since attaching the WIRELESS receiver to the TV is simple (2 wires).

so it doesnt need to be attached to a cable outlet? You just plug it into an electrical outlet only?

Yes. The DVR is hardwired to the gateway. All other receivers can be wireless.

Unless something has changed of which I am not aware:
The Wireless Receiver will cost no more per month than a non-wireless one, but:
1) They also need to send you a WAP if you don't already have any wireless boxes, and
2) they charge a one-time fee for shipping a new wireless box of $49

A WAP is a box like a TV receiver. You plug it in to power and connect it to the Gateway with an Ethernet cord. That's really all there is to it. You should place it at least 3 feet from the Gateway.

Hi there @annieh, we'd be glad to point you in the right direction to set up your TV.
We suggest using our instructions that provide easy to follow steps to install a Wireless Access Point and U-verse TV receiver. If that doesn't help, we can have a technician come out and set it up for you.
Please reach out if you have any questions or concerns! We are here to help!
