Xbox TV launching this holiday season
Xbox TV will use Bing and the Kinect voice commands to facilitate users' searches, a feature that Ballmer said separates Microsoft from previous, failed TV-peripheral attempts by other companies, such as Google and Apple. Van Baker, an analyst at Gartner, said that may not be as much of an advantage as Microsoft thinks. "Search is not discovery," he said. "Search as an answer to discovery implies you know what you're looking for. Most people have no idea what they're looking for."
A well-integrated streaming TV service is a wonderful idea, if it's implemented correctly -- we'll see if Microsoft has the magic formula (Wingardium televisiosa!) this holiday season.

This is defiantly going to cost a fortune to have. Microsoft is just going all out with the xBox trying to do everything they can with it just to make money.
xBox is a gaming console, I plan on using it for gaming and gaming only. Theres no point in having tv on it, Most people now a'days download everything so why bother.

RozyA-Fat-MudkipWaltee No doubt it'll be US Only just like 95% of the other remotely worthwhile things on Xbox LIVE.
Amen
The reason everything is US only is because US is a way bigger business country then the UK, Ireland, Scotland, etc. They also know more people will buy it in US and thier is no point wasting extra money when they could save money and make a bunch from one country
scotlands in the UK
