AT&T Cable service in Connecticut?

K

While talking to a AT&T vendor at my job on Sunday relating to high-speed internet, he mentioned a cable service which is going to be test marketed in 8 Connecticut towns. If all goes well, New Britain could see the service come November. Is there any way to see what is being offered in those towns? Would this be like the new Verizon cable service being offered to people in Rhode Island as we speak? (NOTE: This has no connection to the old AT&T Broadband service which later became Comcast here in New Britain, CT.)
 
I believe that the vendor was talking about AT&T's new U-verse TV service...

From what I saw from the channel lineups, it's sort of a quasi-satellite service, pretty similar to Verizon's TV offering. They deliver the signal via an internet broadband connection, as opposed to traditional video cable. Also, like satellite, this service carries out of market regional sports channels.

Edit: Here's the channel lineups for Hartford-New Haven and Stamford...

Sweet! Yes, this is what the vendor was referring to, now that you mention the U-Verse name. As for HD, they will be carrying WFSB (CBS), WTNH (ABC), WVIT (NBC) and WTIC (FOX). Comcast here in New Britain/Hartford carries those and WTXX (CW). AT&T doesn't offer WGBY-TV (PBS) channel 57 from Springfield, MA. I notice that AT&T carries SportsNY. I still don't see MSG Network on their list either! Shoot! :(
