SEPT. 9 | FROM MULTICHANNEL NEWS: AT&T this week is launching U-Verse Total Home DVR, which will let customers play back standard- and high-definition recorded programs on any TV connected to the telco’s set-top boxes in the home.
Initially, the feature—available at no extra cost to U-Verse TV subscribers—is available only to customers in San Francisco. AT&T said it plans to roll out whole-home DVR to all U-verse TV customers by the end of 2008.
Using the whole-home DVR feature, customers can access, play, pause, rewind and fast-forward up to four simultaneous HD and SD DVR recordings to U-Verse-connected TVs (with a maximum of three recorded HD streams). The feature can be accessed from up to seven additional U-Verse-connected TVs.
