For me its nothing special, i wouldnt buy an elite for this option..

I dont really watch TV shows anyway, except a few from Discovery Channel, if I want to be up to date with gaming news i go to gametrailers.com..

Maybe this is the reason why the Fall update awaits?

Well as a former Xbox Beta tester. And since it has been 5 years I can talk about what I heard now... LOL.

I guarantee that this will happen. It was Microsofts goal from day 1 of the xbox to have a one for all media box in everyones house. The xbox was just to pull in the hardcore gamers and then that led to not so hardcore with live arcade arcade. And now they advertise kid friendly games on live to grab the attention of that group. Then you add this and I am willing to bet the 360 will explode with popularity. It has basicly been evolving before our eyes the entire time. Lets just hope it isn't a major extra fee to use it.

EDIT: Also take a look at the interactive demo on the www.microsoftmediaroom.com it clearly shows the 360 being used for iptv

Well I just got my xbox back from microsoft repair yesterday and it all looks normal no new stuff that indicates iptv to me.

its a nice feature an all.. but the only intresting function is the dvr option for decoders that dont have that option..
i would rather prefer my silent tv-decoder box compared to my 360 watching tv..

i dont think you need a elite to watch iptv but the bigger hd for pvr is a advantage im shure any 360 with a harddrive will work. go figure it was at@t for the usa what abought virsion fios they have iptv to. and i guess that makes this a pay service just not from M$. its just yet another extender option.

but im all for iptv its more companys in the tv market compeating hence prices get lower. and cable companys get another shot in the nuts.

AFAIK, FiOS isn't a 100% IPTV network, which is how they could get a cable TV license. Some of their channels are using standard RF from the ONT. Another thing with FiOS is that Verizon isn't using Microsoft for the software on the STB...At least I don't think they are...

Wouldnt be the fall update- we'd have known about it. I just turned my 360 on and didnt get asked to update. Im pretty sure if people did, they'd be coming here so we'd know about it. So i dont have any idea why just u would have an update...

anyone have any info on this years fall update? A month ago I saw something rumored about a parental timer, wondering what other features they may add.
