My understanding from AT&amp;T is that it indicates that the box has a link to the UVerse service. I thought it was network link originally, but have seen it go off while still attached to a good network but not to Uverse, so I assumed it means linked to the service.

Hello and Good Afternoon Everyone,<br />
<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Using the feedback given in reply to my question in conjunction with a technical discussion with an AT&amp;T representative, it appears the the Link LED light is on because the DVD R box is receiving a signal from the modem used to connect with the internet. &nbsp; The AT&amp;T representative also said that the DVD R box should always be powered on to allow or permit storage onto its hard drive of television shows and movies from our 3 television sets. <br />
<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Thanks once again to the both of you for taking the time and effort in addressing my question. <br />
<br />

Agreed. The DVR is never really off, as it updates the guide data, gets software updates from time to time, and yes, might be recording a DVR show from one of the boxes. ATT can also send messages. <br />
<br />
As a set top designer all the way back to the first days of broadband, this has not changed. Newer boxes do spin down drives to save power, but if I recall correctly &nbsp;the Uverse box does not have a local storage device and they keep everything at the head end, so power usage is not so bad. <br />
<br />
Best not to switch it off because the boot times are awful, and if the software is old, it will do an update before you can watch, which is annoying<br />
<br />
Cheers

A miscellany is defined as a "collection of various pieces of writing by different authors", but it has come to mean something "Of items gathered or considered together of various types or from different sources" or "a collection or group composed of members or elements of different kinds". The word "miscellaneous" comes from the Latin word "miscere", meaning "to mix." You might have heard the expression "a mixed bag," which applies when you don't quite know what you're going to get. More commonly, a miscellaneous group is made up of an odd group of things that don't fit anywhere else.

Miscellaneous

Hardware includes cell phones and other digital living devices, tablets, computers, servers, peripherals and components, printers and scanners, gaming consoles, networking hardware such as routers, hubs, switches and modems, storage devices and security equipment such as firewalls and other appliances.
