AT&T Total Home DVR rollout reaches final ten markets, it's really over

by Richard Lawler Nov 11th 2008 @ 6:04PM


Got U-Verse? Then you should have the Total Home DVR record on one box / stream to all functionality now that AT&T's rollout has finished ahead of schedule. Up in all 69 markets where the IPTV service has a foothold, the final ten markets launched today were: Bakersfield, Dayton, Green Bay, Jacksonville, Little Rock, Miami, South Bend, Tulsa, West Palm Beach and Wichita. Honestly, we're not sure what AT&T (or us for that matter) will do now that it's over, the leading candidates are a "Remember the Rollout" reunion tour in early '09, or the somewhat less likely possibility that confused AT&T techs start adding the functionality to random areas without U-Verse service.

AT&T's U-verse Total Home DVR arrives in Green Bay, WI

by Darren Murph Nov 8th 2008 @ 9:05AM


Just as it did in nearby Milwaukee, AT&T has activated its Total Home DVR software in Green Bay, Wisconsin without even telling a soul. As of now, fanatics gearing up for tomorrow's showdown in Minnesota can check out the spoils of watching any recorded SD / HD material on any connected TV anywhere in the house. Give it a go on your box and see just how magical network streaming can be.

AT&T takes Total Home DVR to five more U-verse locales

by Darren Murph Oct 21st 2008 @ 12:08PM


Another day, another round of U-verse Total Home DVR rollouts. This time, the good news is being bestowed upon residents of Columbus, Flint, Kansas City, Lubbock and Oklahoma City, giving each of the areas the ability to watch HD / SD DVR recordings on other connected TVs in the home. Here's hoping AT&T takes care of the rest of y'all in short order -- we're eager for some more U-verse TV expansion, as nice as this update is and all.

[Thanks, Anthony]

Columbus, Ohio becomes Total Home DVR's next victim

by Darren Murph Oct 19th 2008 @ 3:33PM


What's with all the silence, AT&T? Every other day now it seems that you're blessing another region of your slowly expanding U-verse footprint with Total Home DVR, yet users are left to discover the upgrade on their own. But yeah, there's nothing wrong with a good surprise every now and then, and that's exactly what U-verse subscribers in Columbus, Ohio received late last week. Who's got next? Or, should we say, who wants it bad enough?

[Thanks, Matthew]

AT&T's U-verse Total Home DVR snakes into Kansas City unannounced

by Darren Murph Oct 16th 2008 @ 5:32PM


It isn't the first, and it probably won't be the last market we see AT&T gift with U-verse without a formal announcement -- though if we were betting men, we'd say that proclamation is coming soon. Total Home DVR, which has been sweeping across the carrier's footprints in order to give networked TVs the ability to watch recorded SD / HD programs, has finally hit Kansas City, Missouri, and we get the sense that locals couldn't be happier. So yeah, pop the cork and enjoy the new features.

[Thanks, Paul]

AT&T talks Total Home DVR rollouts in seven new, not so new areas

by Richard Lawler Oct 14th 2008 @ 1:19PM


We already know you love AT&T's Total Home DVR service, but for whatever reason the company's been less than forthcoming about where and when its hitting across the country. Likely spurred on by our coverage (or maybe not) the latest press release breaks down the seven markets currently feeling the joy of multiple HD stream recording and sharing wash over them like rain, or a particularly refreshing soda. U-verse users in Atlanta, Cleveland, Grand Rapids, Indianapolis, Milwaukee, Reno and Sacramento should all have access to the free software upgrade as of today. Press release is after the break, any areas still missing from the official count?

AT&T's U-verse Total Home DVR shows up unannounced in Milwaukee, WI

by Darren Murph Oct 13th 2008 @ 9:08AM


AT&T hasn't made it official or anything, but one particular U-verse user in Milwaukee, Wisconsin is already enjoying the spoils of Total Home DVR. That's right -- Milwaukee residents subscribed to the provider's fiber-based TV service can now check out recorded programs on any connected TV, not just the main set in the den. Let us know if AT&T drops the new software in your locale, it's been pretty busy of late rolling it out.

[Thanks, Ryan]

AT&T launches Total Home DVR in Cleveland, doesn't bother to tell anyone

by Darren Murph Oct 12th 2008 @ 1:17AM


AT&T's continuing to roll its Total Home DVR software out at a fairly regular pace, and the latest region to get gifted is Cleveland, Ohio. 'Course, the provider has yet to officially spill the beans or anything, but it's not totally unheard of for areas to get the updated functionality without any indication that it was coming. And hey, we can't imagine U-verse TV customers being upset that rollouts are happening faster than the outfit's PR team can pump out releases, right?

[Thanks, Sean]

AT&T introduces U-verse Total Home DVR in San Antonio

by Darren Murph Oct 9th 2008 @ 10:11AM


San Antonio may have been one of the first locales to get U-verse TV service, but it's not quite the first to snag AT&T's Total Home DVR software. As the carrier continues to gift U-verse users with the ability to watch recorded programs on any connected TV in the house, this Texas town has become the latest to get loved. Where will AT&T head next with THDVR? Your guess is as good as ours.

AT&T slings Total Home DVR to Connecticut

by Darren Murph Oct 3rd 2008 @ 8:06PM


Houston and San Diego -- hope you enjoyed your time at the top, as Connecticut has swooped in and stolen away the limelight. As of now, CT-based U-verse customers can take advantage of all the niceties that come with Total Home DVR. At this rate, we'd suspect that AT&T will have its entire US footprint covered with the software before the year's end, but we wouldn't recommend holding your breath or anything.

[Thanks, Anthony]

U-verse survey hints at new set-top-box, bolstered HD lineup

by Darren Murph Oct 1st 2008 @ 10:38AM

Given that AT&T still hasn't rolled its Total Home DVR software out to each of its markets yet, we're having a tough time believing a new set-top-box is just around the bend. Skeptical though we may be, a couple of subscribers have confirmed receipt of an interesting new survey that asked if they would subscribe to "a new STB" that supported the aforementioned TH DVR service, included IR capability and could handle digital programming including HDTV and Dolby 5.1. In addition to that, it asked if the respondent would be willing to cough up an extra $4 for the U400 package or an extra $10 for a total of 90 high-def channels. Call us crazy, but we're thinking that "90" figure is going to be stuck in your head as you wish, hope and pray for your HD lineup to bloom. Good luck with that whole "patience" thing.

[Thanks, Anthony]

AT&T takes Total Home DVR to Houston and San Diego

by Darren Murph Sep 26th 2008 @ 10:06AM


We've a feeling we'll soon be unable to keep up with all the Total Home DVR rollouts, but we aren't complaining one bit about the speed at which AT&T is getting it out there. Hot on the heels of Austin, Fresno, and a handful of other cities getting gifted, AT&T has quietly given Houston, Texas and San Diego, California residents the ability to watch recorded shows on connected TVs anywhere in the house. Dollars to donuts a few more markets get lit up before October dawns.

[Thanks, Artur and Anthony]

AT&T silently activates Total Home DVR in Austin, Texas

by Darren Murph Sep 25th 2008 @ 8:10PM


AT&T already beamed its Total Home DVR software -- which enables U-verse users to watch recorded shows on other connected televisions around the house -- to the Dallas / Fort Worth area. As its expansion efforts continue, a local in Austin has informed us that the carrier has delivered it to him as well, though completely unannounced. We'll give you one guess as to if he's complaining.

[Thanks, Tom]

AT&T takes Total Home DVR to Los Angeles, St. Louis and Fresno

by Darren Murph Sep 24th 2008 @ 11:01AM


We're hesitant to say that the flood gates are open, but it looks like AT&T is pushing its Total Home DVR software out at a pretty regular clip. Just days after introducing it in the Bay Area and merely hours after dumping it on Dallas / Fort Worth residents, AT&T is now bringing the U-verse update to customers in Los Angeles, Fresno and St. Louis. In short, the software refresh enables users to play back any recorded SD or HD program on any connected TV in their home at no extra charge. Who's up for placing bets on the next locale to get the good news?

AT&T gets official with Total Home DVR in Dallas / Fort Worth

by Darren Murph Sep 23rd 2008 @ 8:19PM


No surprises here, but AT&T has done its duty by pumping out a press release to match up with information discovered late last week. As of now, the recently released Total Home DVR software is available to U-verse subscribers in the Dallas / Fort Worth, Texas area, and if you're curious as to what that adds, you can catch up right here. Hey AT&T, why not just present us with a nice, neat time table so the rest of your users aren't just in the dark? Thanks in advance.

[Thanks, Anthony]
