U-verse adds multi-room DVR service

 More than 10 percent of customers would switch to a new TV provider to get a multiroom DVR, according to a July survey by research firm Parks Associates.

Consumers were more enthusiastic about switching providers to get a multiroom DVR than most other hypothetical features Parks asked about in the survey, including video games, said Kurt Scherf, a vice president at the Dallas-based firm. The two features that outranked the DVR: a wide selection of on-demand TV programs, and having caller identification information appear on the TV screen.
