Yes, they added Live TV support. I don't know about DRM content.
I doubt they paid the license cost to implement PlayReady DRM, so I'd guess any and all channels flagged as anything but open won't be usable with MB3 LiveTV plugin. Last i checked, Microsoft is the only PC software developer I know of that has picked up the PlayReadyDRM license.
The only hope for us is SiliconDust releasing their CableCatd Transcoding tuner. The fact that they transcode to x264 should allow them to sidestep the DRM clusterfuck.

V1 was healthy outside of the X"box" as well, so it will be interesting to watch V2.
yea but that would require all new tuners which wont be cheap.
Really wish ms would wake up as Media center done right could be a killer app
you build an htpc with a tuner and you can watch live tv / record it . With extenders you can share your tuner around the house.
I have 3 centon 4 tuners that each tune 4 channels at once. So I can record / watch 12 things at once.
using extenders like the xbox 360 around the house they have acess to live tv / dvrs.
I pay $3 or $4 per cable card to cablevision vs $10 for a standard box and $15 - $25 for a dvr (depending on how many channels it will tune or if its a full house one)
So it lets me save a lot of money monthly. Plus then since I built a small htpc I can add as much storage as I would like.
Plex is great, but not live tv yet.

I think that looks good too but it's weird because according to Microsoft, they don't support vertical orientation! Maybe devkits are build differently.I like the picture of X1's in the vertical position.

Edit @ eastmen - DRM is the evil of Media Center right now.

Those are very high resolution infrared pictures. I wonder how accurate would be to track through this image instead of the depth data (that seems noiser/lower res).
Even the fingers look perfectly trackable at a glance.
Been away for a few days sorry for the delay.
There's nothing to stop them from changing things. They can make hard drive optional only on newer games, but older games would still require a hard drive. Not saying it's likely considering the following, but last gen there were games required a hard drive,
Ahhh, Thanks for the that. After reading it again, I agree it's probably meant for the 360. Sorry for the misunderstanding & the derailing. Carry on.

The XB1 is already receiving criticism for long load times.
You certainly could get rid of the install requirement, but the reason it exists is that optical drive speeds haven't exactly increased at the same speed as stuff like memory size.
Yeah, I've been criticizing that they missed an opportunity not trying to implement something like Numecent/Approxy's Cloudpaging technology. With something like they could get by with less hard drive space. I know Cloudgine is supposed to help more with the gameplay mechanics side of cloud gaming, but maybe they have something that help with streaming games?

Numecent's technology did sound interesting. Has it shown up in a product yet?
Haven't seen anything yet. Been quiet this past year. Hopefully we'll hear something soon.
