This is interesting. I have comcast and a 360.

If there is a native DVR function involved I may be in a boon here. I may be able to drop my dvr! I could buy another used xbox 360 for the price of a few months rental of a dvr box.

Hmm.... Possibilities.


Only downside is I only have one LIVE gold membership. Would I have to have two seperate live gold accounts to watch the tv on two consoles?

Here is the official list.

Its still not saying if its going to enable dvr functionality.

Also I didn't realize at*t uverse already goes through the xbox. But I have comcast so that doesn't matter to me anyway.

What I would want is to have this work like a dvr without extra fees - for the regular non premium channels that is. I don't have any of the premium stuff.

But I'd like to be able watch and record g4 and the food network and the history channel and record it on my xbox 360. THan I'd have two dvrs. Assuming that you don't have to have an ADDITIONAL fee through comcast to get the darn thing to work in the first place.
