I can't wait for true globalization in the media market.... I don't care if it becomes a freaking oligopoly I want access to everything everywhere at any time as soon as it releases..... well my question was if that app travels or is tied to your ISP subscription... do you log in the app on the 360 and it works no matter where I am as long as it is in USA or I can only use it at home... let say I'm in vacation in California and I live in new York can I log in the app and check out TV with a tethered wifi or something!!! |
Yes, usually.
Like, If I have HBO Go and go to my friends who does not, but bring my Xbox. I can get HBO over there, cause the service travels with me.
The exception to this could possibly be ESPN which does all sorts of crazy blackout stuff. But I don't play for ESPN I just remember how hard it was to get certain games on it for my folks when I was out there. That could be unique to my situation.
But if you went overseas, you might have to do some funky stuff to get it work. Legally it's not supposed to with the license - and that is the entertainment companies not Microsoft. But sometimes things like that work.

Really not sure I see any point of Consol over PC's since Kinect, Wii and other alternative ways to play have been abandoned. Top 50 'most fun' game list coming soon! |
