WICHITA, Kan., Aug. 10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Wichita-area residents now have a new -- and better -- choice for their television and communications services. AT&T Inc. today announced the launch of the company's integrated suite of AT&T U-verse(SM) services, including AT&T U-verse TV, AT&T U-verse High Speed Internet and AT&T U-verse Voice.

AT&T U-verse brings together your TV, broadband, home phone and AT&T wireless services -- all on one bill -- with unique features that provide a new level of integration, convenience and control. AT&T U-verse TV, High Speed Internet and Voice services are all delivered over AT&T's advanced Internet Protocol (IP) network.

Customers can currently order AT&T U-verse services throughout areas of Wichita, and AT&T will make U-verse services available to more homes on an ongoing basis.

"With the launch of AT&T U-verse TV, Wichita customers are finally getting a better choice to break free from cable," said Kristopher Ryan, AT&T general manager for Kansas and Missouri. "And we're taking it even further by making your services work together and offering cool features you can't get anywhere else."

A Better Television Choice With AT&T U-verse TV

AT&T is the only national service provider to offer a 100 percent IP-based television (IPTV) service. IP technology helps make AT&T U-verse TV one of the most dynamic and feature-rich services available today, with advanced capabilities that customers don't get from other providers and access to more than 45 High Definition (HD) channels.

Where available, local AT&T U-verse customers can enjoy numerous TV benefits, including:

   -- An attractive selection of TV packages. You can choose from a variety      of subscription options that feature up to 320 channels, including      digital music, local, movie and sports programming, as well as premium      Spanish-language and international packages. All packages include      HD-capable equipment, and most packages include an HD-capable digital      video recorder (DVR). (More receivers can be added for $5 each a      month.)   -- More HD channels than the major local cable providers, with an      extensive lineup of more than 45 HD channels. U-verse TV supports both      720p and 1080i formats. Access to HD service is $10 a month with any      U-verse TV package.   -- The ability to set your DVR from any location. With AT&T Yahoo! Web and      Mobile Remote Access to DVR, you can schedule recordings from any      Web-connected PC or compatible AT&T mobile phone (wireless service      charges apply) by using your AT&T High Speed Internet account.   -- The ability to record up to four programs at once using a DVR (up to      four standard definition programs or two HD and two standard definition      programs) -- another feature that is exclusive to AT&T U-verse TV.   -- AT&T Online Photos from Flickr, which allows you to simply and      conveniently browse the photos you've uploaded to flickr.com and watch      slide shows on your U-verse TV screen from the comfort of your couch.   -- AT&T U-bar, which brings customizable weather, stock, sports and      traffic information to the U-verse TV screen, without interrupting the      current program.
