I don't have cable either. Last time I did was 17 years ago when the place my mom rented had the cable hooked up when we moved in and she didn't pay for it. She then realized a couple years later the cable company fucked up and she called to tell them it was connected...

I honestly don't know everywhere it's offered but I know it is in Illinois from the commercials as well. I assume its anywhere comcast offers their service

i mean this in the must non-disrespectful way i can possibly say this,.. how dumb was that?!?

i mean, i know that is still pretty disrespectful but i don't know how to sugar coat it any more.  why the heck would you call that in?

 

also, i know xbone works only with select cable services at launch.  with Xfinity having a very similar service is there any chance comcast just blocks the xbone?  i mean, is it limited because MS has to work out a deal with every cable provider or just limited because it takes MS time to incorporate whatever middleware is needed for every cable provider?

do we have a list of day-1 supported cable services?

 

edit: i also meant to put this in my first post.  lololol at X1 having such a similar name to xbox one.

It's access to the programming list.  Microsoft has to subscribe to the service that provides those listings for each and every cable/satellite provider.

The rest is HDMI pass through.  HDMI supports the remote operation of a device via a single connection, which is how the Xbox One will be able to control the cable/satellite box.  It's making sure that every possible box works across all cable, telco, and satellite providers.  The OneGuide is an app that insets the video from the input into a window, while you access it, then switches to full screen once the selection has been made.

For any non-HDMI devices, there is the IR Blaster.
