The problem is, they are trying to fix a problem that doesn't even exist in the first place. Switching sources with the TV remote? As if anyone has a problem with that. Watching youtube during a commercial? Everyone has a smartphone and many have a tablet these days. Having to change the source again? Well, the remote is right in front of you. DVR? Already integrated in the cable boxes...

The problem isnt switching sources or using a dvr. its content discovery...

The end goal here is not for you to switch or pvr anything but for you to say..."xbox watch tech" and for relevant tech content to start playing, regardless of if its live tv, dvr tv or which app or site is hosting it in the digital world.

Do you ever get to a point where you realize that people are either incapable of seeing or just too caught-up in their own mindset of how things are to see what both the author and you are envisioning?

Some people won't get it, and others will ceasingly try to never get it.

It's about a providing a multi-sourced, single-point content delievery service where the source and delivery are ubiquitous and transparent.

You as the viewer simply ask for content.  The Xbox One serves up that content.

I think I'm there.  Dis is more patient with people here than I am, so he's the right person to nurture a thread like this.  All I see is the usual suspects doing their thing.  MS having something disruptive just can't happen to them.

The reality, though, is that the X1 will game and game hard for us (we'll see in less than a week) but a feature like this will capture the mainstream media's attention and your average joe will be interested in it too.  My sister is not a gamer at all but her sons LUST for a new game console.  Show her this and she would be more inclined to buy one for them because she'd want to use this feature.  Granted that's extremely anectdotal, but I'd be extremely surprised if it was a minority reaction to when the mainstream catches on.

I personally wish the Wii U and PS4 had a similar feature, as it would ensure this next generation of consoles would find bigger success ...
