ATandT launch Homezone DVR with Satellite and Web

While ATandT are expanding their premium U-Verse IPTV offering they are launching their new Homezone service in an attempt to further penetrate into video services.

Homezone is a partnership between ATandT and the DISH network allowing ATandT to provide a networked DVR for the Homezone services which comes with the following functionality:
- Access to satellite channels
- Internet Access
- Ability to record satellite TV to the DVR hard drive
- Remote recording scheduling through a website
- Ability to show photos and play music from a home computer

The Homezone DVR will only be available in standard definition although ATandT intends to introduce a high definition model also.

The Homezone service will be initially available in Ohio and San Antonio but ATandT intend to expand availability to other regions. The Homezone DVR will cost $9.99 a month plus internet and satellite service fees.
