AT&T will begin its expansion into television, with the "Homezone" service expected to launch in July. The offering will combine EchoStar's DISH Network service with the capability to download movies and videos from the Internet, sources told the Wall Street Journal on Monday.

Initially, just content from partner Movielink would be made available through the download option. AT&T plans to eventually make thousands of TV shows and other video clips available through the service. Unlike other on-demand offerings, however, the movie must be fully downloaded before it can be viewed.
