Pretty cool device

Dual tuner HD/DD DVR, DVD recorder pretty cool.

In looking at the specs though, it says download and play...I guess it doesn't stream the WM9 or MPEG2? Also it's IPTV OR satellite? This according to their descpription on the device page.

said by 2wire :
Service combines satellite TV programming with Internet-based video on demand, music on demand, Caller ID, digital photo-sharing and remote access...
From this PR I guess they'll have a separate DN sat receiver and then this box for VOD.

Re: Pretty cool device

I wonder how it will work with the premium content...
Akimbo has a lot to offer even without the premium content. They have everything from the cartoon network to HereTV (LGBT programming) to BBC to cooking shows to Naked News (and other adult programming). Granted some of that stuff requires either a subscription or a fee. It's still pretty awesome and the fact that they are teaming up with AT&T is probably a great thing for the company.

Meh. It's horrible. $10/month for a couple of shows, then they want $1 to $8 per show/movie for anything actually worth watching. I'll pass.

Re: Pretty cool device

Some of the pricing leaves something to be desired... I pay around $16 a month to get what I want to watch... It is going to be pretty awesome when they start offering MovieLink movies I think... They have already started delivering HD content, I wonder if they are going to do movies in HD..

My only wish, so far:

They would have gone with DirecTv.

Oh, and they service my area with this new gadget.

I hear ya. It's going to be interesting to see what happens with TV when ATT and BellSouth merge. Obviously ATT's IPTV strategy will win in the long run, but right now we have Dish Network/ATT and Directv/BellSouth and both have different IPTV rollouts and strategies planned. It's going to take a lot to move me away from my DirecTV/TiVo combo, but it will happen eventually.

Not a bad device...

Looks nice from the website, I almost mistook it for the 2wire for a brief second.

ATT to Akimbo: Pay up for QoS

The irony of ATT pushing 3rd party downloads of huge videos over "their" network amuses me. 2-Tier when it makes sense, I suppose.

att shouldn't waste their time with this

att is just a middle man. They want to offer you over priced movies and a couple of extra shows for more money.
