The future of Houston TV

This is not about the TV stations, but the way you receive television.


Today AT&T launches the Homezone set top box that connects to your television and brings you Dish Network satellite TV service, downloadable video (movies & more), music (your files on the box plus Internet music streams and your digital photos. Homezone also comes with a DVR that let's you set the record times through the Internet.

Later this year, AT&T says they will also launch U-verse which is IPTV. That's a fancy way of saying you get television through the Internet.

Then there is Fision. A Houston-based company that delivers TV and other features through a fiber line. Fision promises transmit more channels than any other company in Houston.
