AT&T's U-verse for iPad app, designed to make it easy for users to connect their iPad to their TV, is now available in the Apple App Store.
Recent studies, the carrier said, show that the majority of tablet owners use their device simultaneously while watching TV. With this app, users can link their iPad to their choice of any U-verse TV receiver.
"Today, we are taking our best-in-class TV experience and taking it to a whole new level by joining two very powerful platforms: your TV and iPad," said David Christopher, chief marketing officer of AT&T Mobility. "With our new app, AT&T U-verse customers have access to incredible functionality to make the TV experience much richer, from superior search and control functionality, to fresh content that tells you more about what you're watching, to the ability to share what you're watching with your friends through social networks."
Using the U-verse IP platform and in-home U-verse Wi-Fi network, customers can link the app to any U-verse TV receiver in their home. Using a one-time set-up process for each U-verse receiver, customers just tune to channel 9301 and name their U-verse receivers using a default name like "living room" or "bedroom," or create a personalized name, to enable the functionality and features.
