AT&T announced on February 07, 2012 that its AT&T U-verse for iPad App, which makes it easy for users to connect their iPad to their TV for an even better viewing experience, is available on the App Store.

Recent studies indicate that the majority of tablet owners use their device simultaneously while watching TV, and with this app users can link their iPad to their choice of any U-verse TV receiver and access several great new features like:

• Extra content and information about the TV show you’re watching, including series overview, episode synopsis, photos, cast and crew information, related TV shows and more.
• A full-featured, intuitive U-verse remote control with channel, guide, DVR, interactive app and on-demand controls, eliminating the need for extra (or lost) remotes throughout the home.
• Advanced search functionality to help you find the content you want.
• Recommendations on what to watch with ratings and reviews.
• Ability to share information about what you are watching with friends on Facebook.

And while you’re on the go, you can:

• Watch hit TV shows and movies over any Wi-Fi connection. Choose from a library of popular content based on your U-verse TV package, including shows and movies from STARZ, ENCORE, TBS, TNT, truTV, Cartoon Network and Adult Swim, with more choices added on an ongoing basis.
• Access the U-verse programming guide and DVR scheduling, similar to the functionality available on the U-verse app for iPhone and iPod touch.

You can view a video demo of the app here.

“Today, we are taking our best in class TV experience and taking it to a whole new level by joining two very powerful platforms: your TV and iPad,” said David Christopher, chief marketing officer, AT&T Mobility.

“With our new app, AT&T U-verse customers have access to incredible functionality to make the TV experience much richer, from superior search and control functionality, to fresh content that tells you more about what you’re watching, to the ability to share what you’re watching with your friends through social networks. And, when they leave the home, our customers can take the U-verse experience with them.”

Using the U-verse IP platform and in-home U-verse Wi-Fi network, customers can link the app to any U-verse TV receiver in their home. Using a simple one-time set up process for each U-verse receiver, customers just tune to channel 9301 and go through intuitive steps to name their U-verse receivers using a default name like “living room” or “bedroom,” or create a personalized name, to enable the functionality and features.

AT&T U-verse TV was the fastest growing TV service in the country in 2011 and is the only 100 percent Internet Protocol-based television (IPTV) service offered by a national service provider. AT&T U-verse TV ranked “Highest in Residential Television Service Satisfaction in the North Central, South and West Regions,” according to the J.D. Power and Associates 2011 Residential Television Service Provider Satisfaction Studies(SM).

The AT&T U-verse for iPad App is available for free from the App Store on iPad or at www.itunes.com/appstore.

There is an alternative theory that suggests the United States government is building internment camps which will be used to detain U.S. citizens for reasons unknown.  The theory gained more traction last year when TruTV’s program “Conspiracy Theory”, hosted by former governor Jesse Ventura, devoted an episode to the proposed camps.

The episode, entitled “Police State” examined the plans and procedures in place by the government for declaring martial law. The show investigates new law enforcement “fusion centers” and FEMA sites that may be in control of rumored internment camps for rounding up U.S. citizens who are deemed a threat to national security.  The real conspiracy is the network’s response following the episode.   The episode which originally aired on November 12 has since been erased.  There is no mention of it on TruTV’s website any longer.  It has not been re-aired on the network, has been removed from the second season episode list, and the show itself and all bonus clips associated with the episode are gone from TruTV’s website.  Simply erased.

Radio host Alex Jones was on that episode with Ventura and the cast.  People associated with the program have acknowledged that unnamed powerful people did not want this revealing episode to air, according to Alex Jones.  Executive producer of the show, Michael Braverman admits “that he had information that there were powerful forces that wanted the show off the air”.   It was also reported that “men in suits” were seen going through Ventura’s trash.  Alex contacted Ventura who stated he was aware that “Police State” had been pulled due to pressure from within the government.

Some people believe that the network and allegedly, the government’s reaction to it may be an indicator that Ventura got a little too close to the truth.  It is like a real life X-Files story.  There is proposed legislation, H.R. 645 that would authorize FEMA centers.  The measure also lists a provision that the camps can be set up to “to meet other appropriate needs, as determined by the Secretary of Homeland Security” and is the main impetus behind the conspiracy theory.  However, the bill was never voted on and has not been re-introduced in the new Congressional session.  Despite that, the conspiracy theories around FEMA camps lives on.
