AT&T continues to expand the ways U-verse TV customers can control and watch their TV shows. AT&T today announced the launch of new AT&T U-verse TV Total Home DVR features which give U-verse customers the ability to pause and rewind live TV on any U-verse receiver in the home.

Most DVRs today control only the TV they're connected to, and other multi-room DVRs only allow you to record and play back shows on other TVs. However, with AT&T U-verse Total Home DVR's latest enhancements, customers can control, record and play back shows on non-DVR TVs and pause or rewind live TV shows from any room in their home, even when the DVR is connected to a different TV. The new features are currently available in Mobile, Ala., and Grand Rapids, Mich., and are rolling out on a market-by-market basis to all U-verse TV customers over the next few months.

AT&T, WGN America, and WGN-TV are giving Chicago Cubs fans across the country a chance to sit in the director's seat and control how they watch the team compete at Wrigley Field.

AT&T U-verse TV announced the nationwide launch of Chicago Cubs Multiview, an interactive TV app that lets U-verse customers view up to four different camera angles of the Chicago Cubs home games at one time, choosing from the main WGN America game broadcast and six alternate camera angles. The app was popular with Chicago viewers last season, and this is the first time AT&T has made multi-camera angle functionality available to U-verse TV customers nationwide.

AT&T announces the addition of Telemiami to AT&T U-verse TV channel lineup in the Florida area.

Telemiami offers a unique mix of original, locally produced news and entertainment shows along with top-rated programs from Spain's award-winning Antena 3 Internacional. The network offers more than 50 hours of live local programming a week. Telemiami will be available on channel 20 for all residential U-verse TV customers in the Miami, Jacksonville, Orlando and West Palm Beach markets.

AT&T announces an exclusive AT&T U-verse offer for AT&T wireless customers that sign up for U-verse services. Any existing AT&T wireless customer that adds a qualifying U-verse TV and Internet bundle will receive a $45 monthly discount for six months — covering the cost of U-verse Internet Max (with downstream speeds up to 12 Mbps) and giving customers a total of $270 in savings, the largest monthly bundle discount available from AT&T.

The new offer builds on the success of the AT&T Choice bundles launched last year, which give consumers significant savings for bundling various combinations of AT&T U-verse TV, U-verse High Speed Internet, U-verse Voice and wireless voice services — a bundle option not available from most cable providers.

Service providers FiOS and AT&T U-verse were top recommendations for bundled telecom services, based on a survey of 70,000 Consumer Reports readers.

The next best choice for many households for bundled services is a highly rated cable company including Cox, Cablevision, or Bright House Networks if they are in your area. If television service is a priority and Verizon FiOS and AT&T U-verse aren't available in your area, satellite providers DirecTV or Dish Network received above average survey scores. Their TV service is offered in hybrid bundles with DSL and phone service from some telephone providers

The issue also features tips on how to cut your telecom bills. The full story appears in the May issue of Consumer Reports, which goes on sale April 5th. The reports are also available to subscribers of www.ConsumerReports.org.
