AT&T Offers Multiview Apps

DALLAS: AT&T U-verse TV has unveiled a set of Multiview apps that allow customers to choose from multiple channels or camera angles and watch up to four at once.

a Multiview for the U.S. Open will be available shortly, allowing tennis fans to watch multiple courts at the same time. The app also makes it easy to follow multiple matches at the same time. As part of a deal for tennis fans, AT&T is offering a free preview of the Tennis Channel from August 29 to September 2. The US Open Multiview and the Tennis Channel free preview will both be available to all U-verse TV customers at no additional charge.

A Multiview app is also available for the Spanish-language programming package Paquete Espanol. This Multiview app allows customers to choose from up to 52 Spanish-language channels in the Paquete Espanol package and watch up to four at the same time. The app is available at no extra charge for U200 Latino and Paquete Espanol subscribers.

"The AT&T U-verse US Open Multiview lets viewers control what they watch at the world’s largest tennis event," said Patrick Wilson, the senior VP of distribution at the Tennis Channel. "We know tennis fans will embrace this great innovation."

"With so many programming options these days, it can be hard to choose which channel to watch, and with AT&T U-verse Multiviews, you don’t have to," added Dan York, the president of content at AT&T. "For example, our new Paquete Espanol Multiview gives our Spanish-language customers a better way to follow their favorite shows at once. By eliminating the need for channel surfing, customers can spend more time watching TV, instead of flipping back and forth between channels."
