'Up to 300 Time Warner live TV channels' coming to Xbox 360 in the US

4.7
Time Warner has entered into a partnership with Microsoft and is to launch an app on Xbox 360 later this year that provides "up to 300" Live TV channels to the system.

The Time Warner Cable TV app will give Xbox Live Gold subscribers access to channels including AMC, BBC World News, Bravo, Cartoon Network, CNN, Comedy Central, Food Network and HGTV. A subscription to the network (which currently starts at $65 per year) will be necessary.

Microsoft says that the service, which aligns the Xbox 360 with the features available on Xbox One, will be exclusive to the US.

"TWC TV is a significant addition to Xbox 360, bringing our customers their favourite entertainment in one place-enhanced TV experience, games, movies, music, sports and entertainment apps," said Blair Westlake, corporate vice president of media at Microsoft.

"Our partnership with TWC enhances all that is available on Xbox 360 today, which will we continue expand. We're thrilled to offer TWC TV to US Xbox Live members and Time Warner Cable subscribers."

Mike Angus, senior vice president and general manager of video for Time Warner Cable added: "We look forward to introducing TWC TV to Xbox 360 and providing customers with this new viewing experience within the home. We are very excited about Microsoft's vision for entertainment and the vast possibilities Xbox offers."

On-demand entertainment will be a central focus of Microsoft's Xbox One. The console is designed to be connected directly into a cable box allowing users to watch video content and play games at the same time.

Microsoft has officially announced an Xbox One release date window of November 2013 in 21 markets and a price of £429 / $499 / €499.

oh whatever, I'll stick to playing the games instead. BTW, xbox one should be called a "media console" or something like that instead now.

-Mark $65 a year on top of the gold subscription.

They gotta be crazy if they think anyone is going to do that.


Well you don't have to buy it. I'm not going to buy it that's for sure. I'll stick with my TV that I hardly watch.



$65 if was too steep in my opinion i don't really watch much TV anyway so i highly doubt that i'm going to do this


Price isn't the issue for me it's I just simply don't watch TV that much at all. I wouldn't use it on the Xbox One either. The only true time I watch TV is when I'm off the computer and relaxing.

Honestly that's actually pretty good. I pay about $40 a month for tv and then internet and phone is another story. But I barely watch TV so to pay $120 a year for gold and TV is saving me money. Because im only paying for 3 months of TV I normally watch now. So that's 9 months of free tv from where I am now. Also of course gold entitles me to everything else Xbox has to offer so I would have it regardless.

ThisIs50 Forget this! 65 dollars? Are you kidding me? My cable bill is the same as that and I get internet and phone with it!


You pay $65 a year for cable, phone, & internet? Which provider is offering this?
Because I'm definitely switching to them.

Gossip Why does Xbox need TV?


To make it more of a "family entertainment system", that's at least how I see it.
