Dallas, Tx. June 25, 2009 -- AT&T U-verseSM TV customers can now use a
free application from the
Apple App Store to make scheduling and
managing recordings on their DVR even easier when they’re away from
home. The U-verse TV Mobile Remote Access App for iPhone and iPod touch
lets customers record their content from virtually anywhere and is
another example of U-verse TV applications and DVR enhancements that
have been rolled out to customers at no extra charge.
“This
is the perfect example of how AT&T* is bringing services together
to deliver a better experience for customers,” said Jeff Weber, vice
president of video services for AT&T Mobility and Consumer Markets.
“With AT&T U-verse, you get DVR capabilities you can’t find from
any other provider, and this app gives users the freedom to schedule
their DVR from their iPhone or iPod touch.”
The app
allows users to easily search U-verse TV program listings from the full
program guide, view descriptions of selected programs, schedule program
or series recordings, manage or edit scheduled recordings, and delete
stored DVR content.
The Mobile Remote Access App is available for free from Apple’s App Store on iPhone and iPod touch or at www.itunes.com/appstore/.
The
launch of the new U-verse TV Mobile Remote Access App follows several
DVR enhancements that are currently being rolled out to U-verse TV
customers, including an exclusive new Total Home DVR feature that
allows customers to schedule and delete recordings from any U-verse
receiver in the home — all from a single DVR.
AT&T
U-verse was one of the first providers to introduce Web Remote Access
to the DVR in November 2006, and it brought three-screen DVR access to
all U-verse TV customers with Mobile Remote Access to the DVR in April
2007. In 2008, AT&T launched AT&T U-verse Total Home DVR,
allowing all U-verse DVR customers to watch standard and High
Definition recorded shows from a single DVR on any connected TV in the
home.
U-verse TV customers can also enjoy several
other integrated applications, including personalized, on-screen
weather, sports, traffic and stock information via AT&T U-bar;
local and national weather forecasts with Weather On Demand; the
ability to view personal photos on your TV that you have uploaded to
flickr.com; and more.
AT&T U-verse customers
enjoy quadruple-play integration, enhanced features and greater value,
all made possible by IP technology. AT&T U-verse TV ranked “Highest
in Residential Television Service Satisfaction in the North Central,
South, and West Regions,” according to the J.D. Power and Associates
2008 Residential Television Service Provider Satisfaction StudySM.
