1 edit |  Sounds like a combo mediacenter PC / STB
We will be announcing what we call Home Zone. This changes how you think about broadband and TV. I have a beta version of it in my house right now. It's a set-top box. They removed my old Dish Network satellite set-top and replaced it with this one. It's connected to my TV and stereo, and it has DSL connectivity on it.
I can now get Movielink (a Web site where full-length movies can be downloaded to a PC) coming into my TV set via DSL. I also can sit back and look at all my digital photos on my TV. I can listen on my stereo to the music library on my PC. I can sit back using my TV remote control and access my music library on my PC.
Were going out and working on a lot of content relationships to take advantage of this. We'll be bringing this to market in the second quarter. It has some good possibilities, but I hope AT&T puts together a large well trained support staff. Because that kind of box requires sophisticated users to keep it working properly. If they stick these in a house that are just used to TV thru a STB and a plain SEPARATE DSL internet connection, they are going to get a lot of help calls.
