Miso app for U-verse.

Watching TV has always had a social component. In the early days people in a community might gather around one of the few sets available for group viewing and discussion. Later when sets appeared in every home, people would gather around water coolers and break rooms to discuss shows from the night before. In the 21st century, we are back to real-time communal viewing without the need to be in the same room. AT&T U-verse TV customers can now choose from a variety of iOS apps to search for information and share opinions while watching programs.
