U-verse ups the HD ante, helps launch HBO2 HD

If you're an AT&T U-verse customer who's been longing for some more HD, your day is coming. Those among you who currently get HBO through U-verse will be treated to the premiere of HD flavors of HBO2, HBO Comedy and HBO Family. The HBO-less customers out there will see the HD offerings swell to 40 channels. Even though the IPTV platform has had its share of problems, even not-entirely-happy customers do admit that the pricing is pretty good, and AT&T's press release underscores the value proposition. Increasing the HD offerings certainly will go a long way toward the company meeting its goal of growing the subscriber list to one million by the end of the year, though.
