Any U-Verse TV screen displaying a red "X", Client Initialization error or Diagnostic Info means your system is having trouble communicating. To correct these errors: Unplug the TV's receiver, wait 2 minutes, plug it back in and then restart. If the error persists: Unplug your residential gateway, wait 2 minutes, plug it back in and then restart. Note: This will temporarily disrupt Internet, TV, and Voice service. If you still can't watch TV, please contact us.

You can also call AT&T U-verse for TECHNICAL SUPPORT.  Just indicate your choice when prompted by the automated switchboard and press # during regular business hours Monday-Saturday between 10:00am-8:00pm EST.  Tech Support is usually available live 24/7 however.

You can also use the AT&T Service & Support Tool to help with the Red X error screen and the Client Initialization message - just press the Blue links on the page which will open in a new window.
