Carrier AT&T announced an iPhone application U-verse Mobile that allows customers of its IPTV service 'U-verse TV' the ability to download and watch popular TV content on their iPhone.

AT&T claims it is the first TV provider to offer an integrated mobile application that allows you to both manage DVR and download and watch select shows.

With U-verse Mobile, which replaces the popular Mobile Remote Access for iPhone app, users will be able to browse the U-verse TV program guide, view program descriptions, schedule and manage DVR recordings, while adding the ability to download available episodes over any Wi-Fi connection.

More than 100,000 U-verse TV customers use the Web and Mobile Remote Access apps every month, AT&T said in a statement Monday.

"We're making it possible for you to watch TV shows on your iPhone at no extra charge. It's just one more valuable and innovative feature available on U-verse TV," said David Christopher, chief marketing officer, AT&T Mobility and Consumer Markets.

All U-verse TV customers can download the app to manage their DVR, and the ability to download and watch content is available for customers that subscribe to the U300 package or higher.

AT&T also said its U-verse customers can upgrade their TV packages at any time.

 New U-verse TV customers and iPhone owners that order AT&T U-verse U300 or U450 will receive a $75 iTunes gift card, AT&T said..

The carrier added that U-verse Mobile App includes TV shows from several popular networks and AT&T will continue to add more content on an ongoing basis.

The U-verse Mobile App is available for free from the App Store on iPhone or at www.itunes.com/appstore/.
