St. Louis Embraces HD with AT&T’s U-Verse

The word “entertainment” has transformed from mere television box and CD players to wireless, “cooler than cable” television network. This could have never happened, though, with the ingenuity and technology know-how of one of the biggest and most sophisticated wireless provider in the United States, AT&T.

With the launch of their newest offer, the U-verse, local communities in Missouri—like Chesterfield, Creve Coueur, Kirkwood, Florissant, Bridgeton, Ballwin, St. Louis, and even Olivette, to name a few—can already enjoy hi-definition programming right at their own television screens.

The Technology behind U-Verse

The vice president as well as general manager of AT&T , Brad Brown, was more than happy to know that their subscribers from St. Louis will have better and wider options for their video and TV entertainment with the help of U-Verse. And, definitely, all St. Louis locales will find the addition a welcome respite from the conventional or standard channels even offered by their local cable network.

But what’s the technology behind U-Verse? U-Verse makes use of the fiber optic cables that mainly comprise the network of AT&T. This type of topology and make has also supported the high-speed Internet connection also offered by the company. Moreover, the company takes pride in being the only provider who can guarantee 100 percent television service that’s based in Internet Protocol (IP).

What U-Verse Can Offer to St. Louis, Missouri

AT&T’s U-Verse is both your ticket to the World Wide Web and superb entertainment value. It’s able to combine digital television as well as high-speed Internet connectivity. What’s more, it can deliver world-class features that still remain unmatched by AT&T’s competitors.

1. Variety of Channels to Choose From

With U-Verse, there’s more than enough for all of AT&T’s subscribers. For one, there are more than 300 channels that they can choose from, ranging from movies, music, local TV shows, and sports. There are also international and Latin packages available. This is perfect for U.S. immigrants who want to keep in touch with their roots or their old community back home. Besides HD programming, every subscriber can also get hold of a DVR, or a digital video recorder, which makes it totally easy for them to control the TV program. They can either pause, replay, or even record live concerts and sports events. Thus, there’s no way they can ever miss their all-time favorite soap operas and other TV program.

2. Clearer Pictures

Thanks to hi-definition technology, images appear brighter, clearer, and much detailed than those provided by your local cable network. Videos appear more realistic and rich, and sounds are almost comparable to those you can hear inside theaters. This is the ultimate TV entertainment experience.

3. Simultaneous Recording

Because of the DVR, you can now have the opportunity to record at most 4 television programs at one time. This is practical if 5 of your favorite shows are slated at the same time slot. You also have two choices: you can opt to record 3 programs in standard mode and 1 HD program, or you can select to record 4 standard programs.

4. Wireless Programming

With your AT&T account in Yahoo or through a mobile phone supported by AT&T , you can already schedule your recordings even if you’re not actually in front of your TV or DVR. Applicable AT&T rates apply, though.

5. Excellent Parental Controls

Are there certain shows that you don’t want your kids to see? U-Verse makes it convenient and possible for you to change the settings of your DVR with the use of passwords so there are particular channels or live events that they couldn’t access.

6. Other Internet Extra Features

There’s no stopping at what St. Louis AT&T subscribers can enjoy when it comes to U-Verse. They can have instant access to Yellowpages.com TV, which allow them to search for information like local businesses right on TV. They can also play all of their favorite Yahoo! Games such as Sudoku, Mah-jong Tiles, and Chess. With U-bar, you can monitor your stocks portfolio and even the weather.

7. Extensive Library with Search Features

U-Verse also contains list of movies that you can access immediately and one time, because of its library. You may also sort and search them according to title and even artists.
