MICROSOFT / 7 AUG 2014 $40 ADAPTOR TURNS XBOX ONE INTO A DIGITAL TV TUNER:
302 A possible alternative to getting a dedicated set-top box?
European Xbox One owners will soon be able to turn their console into a TV set-top box with a digital tuner adaptor, Microsoft announced today.
The €29.99 ($40 USD) adaptor will plug into a USB port to pick up free-to-air channels, and also allow for use of premium features such as being able to pause live TV when you need to get off the couch, or accessing shows and channels with voice commands.
This digital TV tuner could be a nifty alternative to accessing TV content through a dedicated set-top box through a HDMI port, and integration through the Xbox One means that you can receive game notifications and invitations while watching TV. It could even let you watch television while, say, waiting for a multiplayer match to begin.
The accessory will be available from late October in the UK, France, Italy, Germany, and Spain. There's no word yet on when this may come to other territories, but we'll be keeping an eye on this, so stay tuned to IGN.
