NEW HAVEN, Conn., Oct. 2 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- AT&T U-verse(SM) TV customers in Connecticut no longer have to plan how or where they watch and record their favorite recorded shows.

AT&T Inc. (NYSE: T) today announced the launch of AT&T U-verse Total Home DVR in Connecticut, giving U-verse TV customers the freedom to play back Standard Definition (SD) and High Definition (HD) recorded programs on any connected TV in the home, at no additional charge.

'If you're a family who fights over the DVR or just wants the flexibility to watch your recorded shows on any TV in the house, AT&T U-verse Total Home DVR is the perfect solution for you,' said Chad Townes, AT&T general manager. 'With our 100 percent Internet Protocol (IP) network, we are able to constantly evolve features and services to match the needs of viewers. Total Home DVR is the latest addition to our portfolio of unmatched features that give U-verse customers more control, on any TV, at a great price.'

AT&T U-verse Total Home DVR customers can:

-- Watch HD and SD DVR recordings on other connected TVs in the home. In addition to your DVR, you can access, play, pause, rewind and fast forward any recorded SD or HD program on up to seven additional U-verse-connected TVs. All U-verse DVRs and receivers are HD-capable.

-- Pause a recorded show and pick up where you left off in another room.
