Telecom Lead America: AT&T U-verse TV has introduced
an interactive app that allows users to connect with Facebook on TV screen.
Maria Dillard, vice president of U-verse and Video
Products at AT&T Home Solutions, said that the app gives U-verse TV and
High Speed Internet customers the ability to share information about what they’re
watching on their TV with their remote, on any U-verse TV screen. It’s another
example of how we continue to enhance and bring more value to the U-verse
experience.
With the help of this app, users will be able to connect
to Facebook account while watching shows. Through the TV app, users can view
news feed, friends list and photos. Also they can post status updates and share
information along with interacting with friends and view their timelines,
photos, and status updates.
U-verse TV customers can add up to ten different accounts
on a single receiver. In order to access Facebook on TV, customers will need an
existing Facebook account and a U-verse High Speed Internet account.
U-verse TV customers already have access to several
additional social TV apps at no extra charge.
AT&T U-verse claims that it added more TV subscribers
in total over the last 3 years than any of the major cable TV providers
reported.
AT&T U-verse is the only 100 percent Internet
Protocol-based television (IPTV) service offered by a national service
provider.
