Those features requiring a Gold membership is already a given for obvious reasons.


Not obvious enough for me apparently. If they are going through Comcast or Verizon or some other cable provider and I am already paying my cable bill why would I also need xbox live to watch tv?

Because I already do this with my Xbox 360.

This whole using your 360 as a cable box is nothing new. Here in the UK, MS has a contract with Sky (the biggest television service provider) which allows Sky customers who have broadband access to use their Xbox 360 as a cable box to play Sky channels. I have been doing this for years now, watching TV in my bedroom through 360 while the living room has the set top box provided by Sky.

And guess what? To be able to watch TV on 360 I have to have Xbox Live gold AND pay for my TV service.
