U-Verse Whole Home DVR Hits 7 New Areas Market by market U-Verse upgrades continue.... AT&T continues their staggered deployment of both dual HD streams (the bandwidth demands being a major reason why they recently updated their TOS) and "whole-home DVR" functionality. The free DVR upgrade allows U-Verse IPTV customers to watch recorded DVR content on any television in the home (up to three, we're told). According to AT&T, they're now offering the upgrade in several additional areas (Atlanta, Cleveland, Grand Rapids, Indianapolis, Milwaukee, Reno and Sacramento). As we've said, the next major stepping stone for U-Verse is getting line-bonded VDSL working so they can offer faster speeds -- something the telco, despite analyst doubts, tells us is still on schedule for this year.

 |  ccallanaHuh?Premium,VIP join:2000-08-03 Folsom, CA | WHDVR I found the whole home DVR magically enabled a few days ago here in Sacramento - some other behaviors changed minorly as well... very cool feature I'd say  -- "We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us.... We are far too easily pleased." C.S. Lewis | |

 alchav join:2002-05-17 Palm Desert, CA | AT&T and U-Verse is Competitive Right Now!
AT&T has to roll out their U-Verse as soon as possible, because their Bandwidth is max'ed out right now. In a couple of years, if that long, AT&T will not be able to keep up with the high demand people will have for more Bandwidth. I keep saying that Verizon and FiOS with FTTH is way ahead of anyone else. If no other Telco or Cable Company can see this, they will Fail! | |
|  | | Comcast, Directv, Dish, Tivo, etc, Where you at? Why can't other providers push this out? How hard could it be? A Tivo extender would be nice. I guess there's too much money on the hardware side to be made on rentals. | |
