Sterling Heights, MI | Eh Will the cable company come and replace the box if it gets an RROD?!?!!?!?
In all seriousness though; kudos. This is a step in the right direction for consumer owned STBs | |
|

|

| Re: Setting up a 360. said by Smith6612:Any news on if they are handing out the new Xbox 360 Slim or no? They aren't handing any 360s out at all, users still need to purchase their own 360.
The tech visit is to make sure it's networked properly (wired, not wireless) and to do the software configuration. It apparently requires a custom firmware. | |

"And is offering a free 360 for two-year contract broadband customers
"
it's in the bloody heading. | |

| | STB Fee? Does anyone know if they charge a monthly fee to use your Xbox as a STB?
If/When AT&T does this I would be all over it, but not if I have to pay a monthly fee to use something I already own. | |
|
| | | Re: STB Fee? For telus they charge $50 dollar setup and 5 dollar monthly | |

| | WANT! The perfect product would be IPTV + a la carte channel pricing.
Make it so! | |

| | | Re: WANT! said by axiomatic:The perfect product would be IPTV + a la carte channel pricing. Make it so! A la carte is up to the content providers, not the cable cos/telcos.
Until the content providers stop forcing bundles of channels onto the carriers, just so they can get the channels that everyone wants to watch, there will be no a la carte.
The best you can do for a la carte at this point is Netflix or Hulu+, and that's only for old shows or day old shows. | |

| | telus IPTV Would you need to have your main TV/cable/Satellite source to be the Telus TV as well. For example, I am a Shaw Direct User. Would the Telus PVR hook up to my Shaw Direct receiver and I get that TV.... or would I have to cancel Shaw Direct and sign up for Telus Optik TV??? | |

| | media center I already use my xbox 360 with windows media center.
Personally I don't think it's that good of an STB. The main problem is that it is LOUD. Yes, even Jasper. The newest ones I heard were quiet, however.
The other problem is that it looks like a game console, not a piece of AV equipment.
Two big negatives in my book.
Give me a small, silent, good looking 360 and you'll have a winner. | |

| | Microsoft's ultimate goal I think this is the ultimate goal that Microsoft had in mind when they originally created the XBox. | |
|
| | television on xbox live this is pointless.. if you have to use one of there cable boxes it ruins the whole thing. i want to watch tv directly from my xbox live account.. no added fees for hardware and installation.. then the added fee for the television service.
after modding the first xbox you could get free tv shows streamed to your box.. no commercials and no extra monthly fees.
i'm better off dling my favorite shows to my pc and streaming them directly to my xbox from there. | |
