AT&T U-verse(SM) TV customers in North Texas no longer have to plan how or where they watch and record their favorite recorded shows.

AT&T Inc. (NYSE: T) today announced the launch of AT&T U-verse Total Home DVR in Dallas-Fort Worth, giving U-verse TV customers the freedom to play back Standard Definition (SD) and High Definition (HD) recorded programs on any connected TV in the home, at no additional charge.

"If you're a family who fights over the DVR or just wants the flexibility to watch your recorded shows on any TV in the house, AT&T U-verse Total Home DVR is the perfect solution for you," said Adrian Quintanilla, AT&T general manager of North Texas. "With our 100 percent Internet Protocol (IP) network, we are able to constantly evolve features and services to match the needs of viewers. Total Home DVR is the latest addition to our portfolio of unmatched features that give U-verse customers more control, on any TV, at a great price."

AT&T U-verse Total Home DVR customers can:

* Watch HD and SD DVR recordings on other connected TVs in the home. In addition to your DVR, you can access, play, pause, rewind and fast forward any recorded SD or HD program on up to seven additional U-verse-connected TVs. All U-verse DVRs and receivers are HD-capable.

* Pause a recorded show and pick up where you left off in another room.

* Play back multiple, independent viewings of the same recorded show on different TVs.

* Play back up to four recorded shows at once. Up to three can be HD recorded programs.

* Watch up to five HD programs simultaneously throughout the home, including two live HD programs and three recorded HD programs.

* Record more of the show you want to see with soft padding, which automatically adds 1 minute to the beginning and 2 minutes to the end of each pre-scheduled recording.

* Organize recorded content by series. Series recordings will be grouped as a single heading in the recorded TV menu, making it easier for customers to manage and select their recorded programs.

* Store up to 37 hours of HD content or up to 133 hours of SD content, which is more storage than most cable providers' DVRs.

* Record up to four programs at once on a single DVR -- another feature that is exclusive to AT&T U-verse TV.

* Set the DVR while on the go from your PC or wireless phone. With AT&T Yahoo!(R) Web and Mobile Remote Access to DVR, you can schedule recordings from any Web-connected PC or compatible mobile phone (wireless service charges apply) by using your AT&T High Speed Internet account.

Using IP technology, Total Home DVR capabilities have been seamlessly provided to existing customers' DVRs without the need to swap their current equipment. The U-verse network architecture and IPTV service allow Total Home DVR functionality to be enabled by a software update, without any action or hassle for existing customers.

AT&T U-verse TV has more than 100,000 customers in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. AT&T U-verse services were first introduced in the Dallas-Fort Worth area in March 2007. In the past year and a half, AT&T has continually made the service available to more North Texas customers. U-verse TV is offered today in parts of more than 45 Dallas-Fort Worth communities including Addison, Allen, Arlington, Bedford, Colleyville, DeSoto, Duncanville, Farmers Branch, Euless, Frisco, Hurst, Keller, Lancaster, McKinney, North Richland Hills, Plano, Richardson and Watauga. Additionally, the company plans to reach even more area homes.

"This is an amazing accomplishment for AT&T U-verse in such a short period of time, and it confirms what we've been saying all along," said Quintanilla. "North Texans are eager for a new video choice that offers a huge HD lineup, popular programming and greater control and features -- and U-verse TV delivers that."

Total Home DVR is the latest addition to the constantly evolving suite of features that has been introduced to all U-verse TV customers at no extra charge since the AT&T U-verse launch in June 2006. These features include:

* Mobile Remote Access to DVR, which lets you schedule and manage DVR recordings from any compatible mobile phone.

* AT&T U-bar, which brings customizable weather, stock, sports and traffic information to the U-verse TV screen, without interrupting the current program.

* AT&T Online Photos from Flickr, which allows you to simply and conveniently browse the photos you've uploaded to flickr.com and watch slide shows on your U-verse TV screen from the comfort of your couch.

* Yahoo! Sports Fantasy Football, which allows you to track the progress of your fantasy team -- including current team matchups and league standings -- directly from your TV screen through the AT&T U-bar.

* YELLOWPAGES.COM TV, for fast and easy searches to find local businesses and other information via your TV screen.

* AT&T Yahoo! Games, so you can play your favorite online games -- including Sudoku, Solitaire, JT's Blocks, Mah-jongg Tiles and Chess -- on the TV screen.

In the future, AT&T plans to add to its Total Home DVR service with the ability to schedule recordings and pause or control live TV from non-DVR receivers.

AT&T is deploying next-generation AT&T U-verse services as part of its mission to connect people with their world, everywhere they live and work, and do it better than anyone else. Customers benefit from integrated AT&T services across the three screens they value most: the TV, the PC and the wireless phone.
