Customers of AT&T’s Homezone service will now be able to control their digital video recorders with their Web-enabled cell phones. The company, based in San Antonio, first promised the feature in January.

AT&T described the effort as “connecting the three screens that many consumers value the most — the PC, the TV and the wireless phone.”
