Kinect plus the inbox tv tuner?


I'd forgotten about Kinect, but Major Nelson has recently openly stated that there is no tuner in the Xbox One and it is simply depending on it's HDMI in for TV duties from a set top box.

Not sure how that's going to work personally because HDMI is quite limited in terms of sending signals other than basic "on/off/change channel", really don't know how the Xbox One will even know what channel it's on let alone the super advanced stuff shown in the Xbox One reveal in terms of the EPG/TV Guide and so forth.

Also noted that there certainly weren't any coaxial inputs on the backplate of the Xbox One for a dish feed to be used as an input.

I don't even have an HDMI port on my cable box, Microsoft is discriminating against me

Well I suppose maybe MS are making up for not having HDMI on the Xbox 360 at launch so are putting in 2 just to make sure everyone's happy.

You can't please everyone all the time....or something :p
