Don't care for the name, but whatever. Love that they immediately show the console. Looks kind of big.

Interface looks pretty nice :up:

Yeah, as in Xbox is #1!

I don't want to talk to my TV. I hope all this stuff will be easy to do with the controller/remote.

baked in fantasy stuff when watching sports. that's a pretty good untapped market.

xbox one has a guide for television. the voice channel changing is pretty seemless.

i wonder how this will work (if even at all) with non-cable providers (i.e. Dish and DirecTv).

Can Kinect and voice controls really be this amazing in home? Sweet lord I hope so.

Seems like its all about the movies and TV. Pretty ugly console though.

This tv stuff is mindblowing. Hopefully Kinect is wireless and works in the dark.

it looks like a home theater component (receiver, blu ray player) that you'd put in an entertainment center. hence the name xbox one. :shrug:

I think it would be a little weird not to have DVR capabilities... especially with all that.

I hope this has cablecard and doesn't rely on my cable companies crappy set top box.

It seems like the video must be simulated. Aside from the obvious of them showing old NBA games, I don't think they can actually change channels this fast, since our providers can't even do that.

sweet way to spend time at work: live-streaming some dude flipping TV channels in front of hundreds of people for an hour.

I don't think so, specifically as The Price Is Right is literally on right this moment.

I'd love a silent console given the jet engine inside my 360.

"Watch ESPN" took them to an NBA game from long ago, though.

I came in late, how is the live TV supposed to work given all the proprietary receivers and DVRs out there?
