there was no way the xbo it self could change tv channels it self. iy will need a box that gets hooked up to both console and cable box. this is something ms did not tell people i bet this is 100 dollars

How do you figure that? Do you realize that MS is one of the biggest software houses in the world?

Xbox One: live TV available in US only at launch, requires separate device

Xbox One’s live TV fucntionality will only be available in the US at launch, a press release from Microsoft has confirmed.

In a release sent to VG247 this evening confirms that Live TV with Kinect navigation, Live TV with One Guide, Trending, and NFL on Xbox will only be available in North America at launch. The release added that Microsoft anticipates a global roll-out over time.

As shown in the Microsoft reveal stream, and confirmed in the release, “Live TV will require a supported receiver device with HDMI output,” which is sold separately.

What do you make of the above then?
You need a cable box plus the receiver for t to work

-----------------

i though they said XboxOne is the only box you will need? i new it U will need extras for it i just new it

it also states "SUPPORTED CABLE BOX" why not just say "USE YOUR CURRENT BOX"

ID LIKE TO KNOW WHAT THEY MEAN BY SUPPORTED CABLE BOX?

if you already have a receiver you can replace him with the all in one xbox as long as you buy another receiver?
revolutionary!

Iz gets even better for all those people who bought a Samsung TV with built-in gesture and voice control...

So tell me: Who or what changed the tv channel when the guy yelled "ESPN" into the micro?

no prob.Do the same you do with your old receiver

you simply sell your samsung gesture tv and buy one without gesture control.Than use kinect2 with your new tv and the xbone receiver and you will have 3 reasons to me amazed.

1)another gesture controle

2)a new receiver,but this time you need a console to make your receiver work.

3)kinect2 finally works as good as they promised with kinect1 but half as good as samsung tv gesture

instead of using 2 devices(samsungTV,receiver)

you will need4

kinect2,a tv,a receiver and an xbox1.Maybe it'll be bundled with the new "pretending 4is1" kinect game.

The xbox, but I'm honestly not sure if or how the xbox is able to communicate backwards through the hdmi out port.

Thinking about it, it is in theory possible if the XBox One "HDMI In" is bidirectional HDMI 1.4 Ethernet and the cable box "HDMI out" also is  bidirectional HDMI 1.4 Ethernet compliant. Chances are probabloy zero on the average cable box side, though.

Oh, there is already a standard that enables communication across devices with hdmi: hdmi-cec. That is why you can control your dvd-player or bluray-player with your tv-remote. MS just needs a wrapper from voice to cec-commands.
