6 MTV Channels in HD
Today, Dallas-based AT&T disclosed the expansion of its U-verse TV HD channel lineup. AT&T will now offer six high definition channels from MTV Networks. AT&T's HD content expansion follows a recent initiative to deliver more international programming channels, and at least 100 high definition channels in each U-verse TV market in March 2009.
U-verse TV subscribers can now watch VH1 HD, CMT HD, MTV HD, COMEDY CENTRAL HD, Nickelodeon HD, and Spike HD in addition to existing HD content included with their service subscription. Channel availability depends on the AT&T programming package selected. Taking the recent MTV Networks HD additions into account, AT&T U-verse continues to be the leading cable TV service available in each market - offering the largest HD channel lineup!
"We've made the U-verse TV HD experience better again by expanding our HD channel lineup to include these popular networks," stated Dan York, Executive Vice President of Content and Programming, AT&T Converged Services. "These HD additions help us with several strategic content initiatives and allow us to continue to deliver more HD channels than the major local cable providers, all at a great value."
AT&T U-verse offers two HD solutions. High definition service is provided to U450 programming subscribers, or is available a la carte for $10/month. HD service can be added to any U-verse TV programming package. For customers interested in premium content, AT&T offers the HD Premium Tier for an extra $5/month. Every U-verse customer receives HD-read equipment, and most subscribers receive an HD-ready Total Home DVR. With an HD DVR, AT&T customers can record HD content from a single DVR. These programs can be accessed on any connected television within their home.
AT&T U-verse is one of the most feature-rich and dynamic entertainment services available, as it offers the only 100% IPTV (Internet Protocol-based television) service available in the United States.
