AT&T Entertainment: AT&T's answer to TV Everywhere

AT&T, not wanting to be left behind in the race to provide online video content to subscribers, has soft-launched its own video portal site, AT&T Entertainment.  The site, primarily for AT&T’s U-verse customers, is also available to anyone else who drops by to visit, although the content currently available to view is already available online elsewhere.

Current AT&T customers already have an account on the site based on their att.net Member ID.  Logging in adds several additional features, including:

  • Viewing age restricted content (if you meet minimum age requirements)
  • Rating shows and movies
  • Creating and managing a personalized library and queue
  • Sharing videos with friends via email
  • Viewing your U-verse guide and managing recordings on your DVR (if you have an AT&T U-verse account associated with your ATT.net Member ID)

At present, none of the content is exclusive to AT&T — it’s mostly a mix of videos from Hulu, CBS, and a few cable networks that allow videos to be embedded on other websites.  AT&T has promised it will expand the service when it officially launches at a yet to be determined date.

Ironically, while watching one Hulu-based TV show, the first thing shown to me was an advertisement from Sprint bashing AT&T for overcharging customers.
