Nashville, TN grabs AT&T's U-verse TV this week

by Darren Murph posted Dec 21st 2008 at 3:14PM


AT&T just announced that its U-verse services would be introduced in Birmingham, Alabama this week, and it's evidently making a similar rollout across Middle Tennessee. We've been hearing that AT&T was looking to infiltrate the Volunteer State for months on end, and at long last we're finding out that those whispers were legit. According to a recent article in The Tennessean, select parts of Nashville and Middle Tennessee will become the first areas in the state to receive U-verse TV and high-speed internet. The best part of all of this is that AT&T has successful acquired a statewide license to lay service, meaning that it could very well hit more areas in short order. In fact, the operator has already vowed to expand U-verse to "about 60 cities and numerous counties" over the next two years, with "Chattanooga, Memphis, Knoxville and some rural areas" named in particular.

AT&T to invest $400 million to bring U-verse to Tennessee

Welp, the fat lady has sung. After a long run-up to the inevitable, AT&T has finally admitted that it will be stringing its U-verse services into the Volunteer State. Reportedly, the provider will be coughing up $400 million over the next few years for "fiber network upgrades," which it will likely use to deliver high-speed internet, digital phone service and television programming to the fine citizens of Tennessee. Unfortunately, AT&T failed to reveal a timeline of events for us to focus on, but judging by how long we've been waiting with no results from that supposed investment in the Carolinas, we wouldn't call and cancel that Comcast service just yet.

Comcast flier all but confirms U-verse in Tennessee

by Darren Murph posted May 25th 2008 at 4:09PM


Not even a full week after Tennessee's governor signed a particular cable franchising bill into law, along comes this mysterious flier from Comcast. Now, we know things can get pretty heated between rivals, but this just seems downright bizarre -- if it's not some sort of elaborate prank, of course. From what we can gather, Comcast has been circulating this here flier around, which clearly points out that AT&T "has been installing 52B Cabinets in Nashville and Middle Tennessee for the last several months." It also notes that said boxes are used for distributing its U-verse television service, in case there was any doubt. Apparently Comcast is hoping to create an internal map of all possible distribution points in order to bring the hurt where it matters most, but we must say this seems like quite the stretch to get a leg-up. Ah, the sweet smell of competition.

Comcast quietly brings five HD newcomers in Nashville, TN

by Darren Murph posted Apr 9th 2008 at 1:28AM

Comcast has lit a fire under itself of late, breaking out new HD channels in a variety of locales around the country. The latest to find a few surprises in their EPG is Nashville, Tennessee. If we just rang your bell, you can excitedly fire up your set-top-box and find Disney HD, CNN HD, AMC HD, Science HD and TLC HD. Curiously enough, the Comcast additions seem to all be rolling out around the same time, though the actual channels received is varying widely by region. Nevertheless, take a glance at your own lineup just in case any lurkers have evaded you.

DISH Network launches Nashville HD locals

by Ben Drawbaugh posted Feb 20th 2006 at 9:29AM

DISHLast week it was Chicago and this week it's Nashville as DISH launches the Big 4 today in high-def throughout Nashville and the surrounding areas. For as little as $55 a month, Nashville customers can get 23 High Definition channels and HD locals.

The space race is heating up and in another week I am supposed to have my AT9 DIRECTV dish installed so I can check out their HD locals. Of course, I get the locals perfectly via OTA so I'm not in any rush.
