By the sounds of it the Apps themselves are free but you have to pay to actually use them :/

"* Xbox LIVE Gold membership and/or other subscriptions/fees required."

In other words this is pointless. I bet you still need to be an existing cable subscription too.

I'm so confused... the "*Xbox LIVE Gold membership and/or other subscriptions/fees required." part seems to only apply to Canal+? Or so I thought...

So we will still have to pay to watch content or be a current Comcast/Verizon/other subscriber?

when it says AT&T, comcast, verizion does that mean you get there tv service or what? I know you will probably have to have a subscription separately though.

Yep that's what it sounds like. 

Wow, did you even bother to read this thread before you jumped in and attacked MS/360 (yet again) try again.

On the MS website it says that my Gold subscription is going to get better because of the addition of the TV channels. I also read that only the iplayer would be free to silver subscribers and that 4od and demand5 would be gold only.

yeah I'd blame it more on the media network refusing to loosen their pooper..... cause if there is one thing for sure is that MS wants europe and wants to dominate everybodies livingroom around the world.... but hey on the long run I wouldn't be surprise to see MS simply buying out networks....

lol cause you thought UFC that bars pay a ton of money to put on their screen was gonna be free to watch for what 10 or 15 bucks a month to gold members... that will never happen.... stop being a bunch spoiled brats and spitting on everything because it's not free.... the idea is to have more control on your content consumption and spend money how you see fit.... I'm god damn happy it is that way..... cause there is no way I pay 100 bucks a month to pissnetwork or erectTV or CONcast to have 65% of advertising 95% of crap and 2% of good programs and still have to pay for those pay per view.... so yeah that is not crazy bad ass list.... but now with hulu+ zune netflix and that I can have a thousand time better suited programing for me at less than half the price with less commercial and when I want it..... what is to complain about.... you don't have to get it..... and you'll still have all the advantage you had 6 years ago.... so what is your god damn problem people.....

Are you holding back? Tell us how you really feel.
