Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Xbox Live TV streaming Coming Soon?

Eurogamer

TV streaming is in the works for Xbox Live and could launch later this year, according to new reports.

According to ZDNet sources, the forthcoming service, which is codenamed Orapa, will be a combination of Xbox Live and Microsoft's Mediaroom desktop TV set-up.

Xbox Live social features, avatars, Kinect controls and as yet unannounced music services will all be incorporated.

A Winter 2011 launch is mooted, with a test preview build due to be ready this month.

This isn't the first we've heard of an Xbox 360 TV service. In November, reports claimed that Microsoft had been holding talks with various media organisations to license TV networks for a new on-console project.

Then last month US chat-show giant Conan O'Brien was reportedly also approached by Microsoft but turned down the deal because there were too many unknowns.

I'll stick with my Direct TV. Heck, I even have Hulu plus on my PC and would much rather stick with that.

How can you say that without knowing what there will be and how much it will cost.

 

Hopefully it is a good service. I Just canceled my netflix and haven't tried hulu yet  so I have an opening for some more tv services. I will wait and see what they offer and the price though.



E3 reveal?

wheren't they talking about hulu plus on XBL???? I mean that netflix espn last.fm zune market place and I think I'm cutting cable all together and just keeping internet... I'd be missing BBC america and science channel that's it.... not enough to justify keeping premium cable.... *finger crossed*



I think this is a precursor to an eventual OnLive like gaming network. 



XBL is going to be its own entertainemnt hub at this rate
