AT&T adds six HD channels from MTV Networks
MUMBAI: AT&T, the largest provider of local, long distance telephone services in the United States, has added six new high-definition (HD) channels from MTV Networks to the U-verse TV lineup. The channels that have been added include MTV HD, VH1 HD, CMT HD, Nickelodeon HD, Comedy Central HD and Spike HD, thus enhancing the telco‘s 100-plus HD channel count. Last month MTVN announced the launch of those six network feeds in MPEG-4 format on two SES Americom-New Skies satellites.
AT&T offers two HD options with U-verse TV: HD service is included with the U450 programming package (starting at $109 per month) or is available for an additional $10 a month with any other U-verse TV programming package.
The telco offers a separate HD Premium Tier for an additional $5 a month, comprising four channels: MGM HD, Palladia, Smithsonian Channel HD and Universal HD.
