MS announced their Netflix partnership at E3 2008. This is very similar.

No, it's not.

This is talking about streaming live TV on the internet.  Something that I don't believe any company in the US currently does.

I could see them announcing a partnership to bring Hulu or another similar service to XBox Live.  But not live TV.

EDIT: "GameFocus has learned from a trusted source that Microsoft is ready to announce the arrival of a live television broadcasting service to the Xbox 360 platform by 2011."

What does that have to do with announcing this at E3?  Netflix is offering video content through XBox.  They announced that at E3.  Why would this new functionality not be something that would be announceable at E3?

 

Comcast offers live Sports:
