DALLAS, Aug. 29, 2012 /PRNewswire/ — Whether it’s on your computer or mobile device, accessing your social media sites has always been at your fingertips. Now, you can connect with Facebook on your TV screen using Facebook on TV, the latest interactive app available from AT&T* U-verse® TV.

The Facebook on TV interactive app delivers an even better way to watch TV. Through the TV app, you can:

  • View your news feed, friends list and photos.
  • Post status updates and share information about the shows you’re watching.
  • Interact with friends and view their timelines, photos, and status updates.

“The TV experience is becoming more social, and we’ve always focused on delivering interactive TV apps that are more engaging and provide an overall better experience,” said Maria Dillard, Vice President of U-verse and Video Products, AT&T Home Solutions. “This app gives U-verse TV and High Speed Internet customers the ability to share information about what they’re watching on their TV with their remote, on any U-verse TV screen. It’s another example of how we continue to enhance and bring more value to the U-verse experience.”

The Facebook on TV app can be enjoyed by everyone in your household. U-verse TV customers can add up to ten different accounts on a single receiver.
