Xbox 360 IPTV Initiative Isn’t Dead
Posted by XanTium | January 10 23:52 EST | News Category: Xbox360
 
From zatznotfunny.com:
[QUOTE]
Like Chris Lanier, I've been disappointed in Microsoft's apparent inability to deliver an IPTV solution onto the Xbox 360 platform... As announced during Bill Gates' 2007 CES keynote. We've heard relatively little regarding the fate of Xbox IPTV since then, and I imagine the lack of deployment is related to both technological challenges and carrier deals. So I cornered a Mediaroom rep today on the show floor.

Before handing me off to the PR team, she confirmed this initiative is still alive and well with multiple carrier field trials in progress. When asked if anything was going on in the US, she suggested I questioned AT&T.

The PR woman was at once both more forthcoming and more secretive. She indicated BT will be deploying Xbox 360 IPTV in the UK. While that's isn't entirely recent news and she didn't give any details on timing, I'm left with the sense it's definitely happening this year. And she had no comment on other partners or regions.

Would be awesome to sign onto live and watch that futball game you missed or some other shows. There are so many free internet TV programs why cant a console factor one in.

AT&T's U Verse is trash compared to Verizon's FiOS. I wish they'd strike a deal with Verizon and get on the ball.

For some reason this guy is much more optimistic than I am.

I hope they push on with that IPTV thingy, my ISP and digital TV provider uses that stuff, the decoder is in a seperate vlan and uses a different DNS server from where it gets the tv signal streamed over different ip's.
if this is the same IPTV, I could hook up my 360 to the switch and enjoy full digital TV from my room smile.gif

It would be cool to have but really not needed. Between my DVR (Comcast) and Netflix on the Xbox now, all my TV watching needs are basically taken care of now.

Anyone heard of any updates on the IPTV feature? Is this supposed to be included in the next dashboard update?
