Why Is Att Uverse Freezing? (Easy Fix)
Why Is Att Uverse Freezing? With U-Verse TV, you can watch on-demand content and HD programming. Set-top boxes can also serve as access points to the internet in addition to providing TV control.
In contrast to satellite services which can be negatively affected by weather, this service is unaffected by it. Luckily, there are quite a few different things that you can try to do that should allow you to troubleshoot and hopefully fix your U-Verse box if it’s freezing.
It’s a well-known fact that U-Verse service is not affected by weather. For some reason, the service may have been freezing because of another issue.
If it’s just a basic issue with the internet connection, then you may need to check your device configuration. It could be an issue with the WIFI signal in your area. If everything checks out, then you can reboot your device and wait for it to come back on.
If you’re concerned that the freezing is due to an issue with your internet service provider, then contact their customer support. They can help you troubleshoot your device by testing it themselves on another TV or in a different area.

Try these basic steps
Step 1
Turn your set-top box off and on again, but be aware that it might take several minutes to start up again. By doing so, minor issues that might be causing the problem will be reset.
Step 2
Ensure that the connections between the U-Verse receiver and your television are secure. Remember that AT&T recommends that you use an HDMI cable for best results when connecting to your TV.
Unreliable connections can interrupt service and cause the TV to freeze. In addition to the rear TV IN jack on the receiver, make sure the audio visual cable from the TV to the receiver is connected properly.
Step 3
In the case where the U-Verse TV service is still frozen, remove the power cable from the set-top box. Connect the cable to the receiver’s power jack after unplugging it for up to 15 seconds. Your box will now operate normally after the reset.
