story category AT&T Completes Whole Home DVR Upgrade
Every IPTV market should now have new functionality...
(old news - 01:03PM Tuesday Nov 11 2008)
tags: Video · competition · business · telco · TVIP · AT&T U-Verse
AT&T's new whole-home DVR functionality allows U-Verse IPTV customers to watch recorded DVR content on any television (up to three) in the home. The telco has been deploying the service market by market over the last few months, and today announced that the first phase of the free upgrade has been completed ahead of schedule, in every market where AT&T offers U-Verse TV service. Completing their deployment into 69 markets, AT&T today launched the service in Bakersfield, Dayton, Green Bay, Jacksonville, Little Rock, Miami, South Bend, Tulsa, West Palm Beach and Wichita. User gdm See Profile write me to note that the second two phases of AT&T's IPTV DVR upgrades will allow users to delete and setup shows from remote set tops.

Same issues as copper. It's just DSL basically.

I laughed so hard the first time I saw it. This commercial can somewhat seem deceiving.

haha thats a bunch of bullshit. I think the new DOCSIS 3.0 that coming out soon will beat att to a pulp.

Re: wish I could just get uverse

DOCSIS 3.0 is great and all but i think FTTP is the way every thing needs to go and might as well do it now then have to upgrade twice seeing as how long it takes for the cable and telcos to do ANY upgrades

Re: wish I could just get uverse

your right but its cheaper for the 3.0 upgrades. The way I look at is the cable modem will be around for the next 10 to 15 years before fiber will used at a persons home.

Re: wish I could just get uverse

There are areas that AT&T is doing FTTP but the speeds are still at normal Uverse speeds.

U-verse is neither fiber nor DSL, it's a service that can be delivered over either one, depending on where you live.

AT&T is generally doing FTTH in new areas and retrofitting older areas with VDSL.

I've got 4 HD sets

I've got 4 HD sets, and am too far away to get Uverse.

AT&T has brought out a very limited offer, and seems to be trying to sell it at a discount to the limited number of people who can obtain it and are satisfied by it.

I guess it is good if you are covered.

AT&T can push 18Mbs, DVR, multiple HD but...

Still no VoIP. What gives ?
Do they want to collect those USF fees so badly that they still only offer POTS service here, just north of L.A., where Uverse has been available for a year and a half.

Well, we can move 90 miles north and get U-Verse Voice in Bakersfield.

It would be interesting to see a breakdown of what U-verse areas are deployed and which ones still don't have U-Voice.

Re: AT&T can push 18Mbs, DVR, multiple HD but...

I agree... I suspect that the more affluent areas of SoCal, where they can milk POTS to death, or fear having issues and a real revolt, they'll wait it out for a while.
In highly competitive areas, or areas that they have nothing to lose (Detroit was an initial market, wasn't it), they'll offer the olive branch.

I'm at least glad that AT&T deployed 3G 850MHz here in Santa Clarita though.... it was long over due.
Now if only I can get that HTC Fuze.

Whooping on cable now...

Cable really needs to get moving on getting whole house DVR service rolling. This announcement certainly makes Uverse more attractive when compared to cable DVR service.

Re: The boxes are around my neighborhood....

WHDVR is fantastic. It did indeed go live here in Little Rock today. Switching to U-verse was clearly the best choice. I didn't think I'd be so completely satisfied with U-verse as a whole, but it really is a fantastic product.
