so to reask my question...  does that mean if comcast says "fuck off" comcast won't work on xbone?

...cause without that is seems to me live tv could be viewed via xbone but you couldn't change the channel.  no?

Not exactly. Did you see the port on the back of Xbone that was IR Blaster? There will be a small device you can plug into Xbone and put it in front of your cable/sat box. Xbone will essentially work like a universal remote in that case.
