AT&T Brings U-verse TV Scheduling to Mobiles

AT&T has today announced a new value-added option for subscribers of its U-verse TV service, now allowing customers to schedule and manage their TV recordings through their U-verse DVR with a compatible mobile phone.
Currently, only subscribers of both U-verse TV and internet can use the service, and the system is only accessible through an AT&T handset, though the company plans to open it to other mobile networks soon. Users can schedule recordings, manage and delete stored DVR content, and search through U-verse TV listings from their handsets with the new system.
"Any television viewer can relate to the frustration of forgetting to program his or her DVR. Now, whether they're at the airport or stuck in traffic, AT&T U-verse customers can rest assured they won't miss their favorite shows," said Rick Welday, chief marketing officer-AT&T Consumer.
Remote scheduling of TV recordings was previously available for customers through the AT&T Yahoo! broadband portal with a PC.
