AT&T Launches Set-Top Box Combining Internet, Satellite TV
An AP newswire article by Peter Svensson, via USA Today, reports that:
AT&T is launching a satellite TV set-top box Wednesday that also connects to the Internet for movie downloads, reinforcing the phone company's push into video services.More here.
The box, called AT&T Homezone, will be initially available in Ohio and San Antonio to new customers of the cobranded AT&T-Dish Network satellite TV service. It will cost $9.99 a month in addition to Internet and satellite service fees.
AT&T plans to expand the service area in coming months, positioning Homezone as an alternative for those who can't yet receive its premier service, U-Verse, which transmits video over phone lines.
The box is made by 2Wire Inc., a San Jose, Calif., company that also makes a gateway for AT&T.
