Tracy Swedlow (of itvt fame) has details this week on new features for the AT&T U-verse service. The upgrades are happening now, and limited feedback on various U-verse forums is already rolling in. Subscriber comments are mostly positive, with the exception of one complaint about an audio issue (apparently correctable), and several “When is this launching in my market?” pleas. The feature everyone seems to love? The ability to manage recordings from any U-verse set-top rather than just the main DVR receiver. (See post on Motorola set-tops for U-verse whole-home DVR service)
Other features include:
- A new Web-based UI for remote DVR management
- Guide enhancements including faster browsing, better sorting, targeted searching by title, actor and channel, and personalized channel favorites
- An “On-Demand Top Picks” app that provides VOD recommendations based on past rentals and shows top titles other subscribers are renting
