Xbox One users will be able to DVR TV shows later this year

Xbox One users will be able to use a DVR feature later this year to record TV programs, according to a new tech report.

Sources speaking with tech blogger Paul Thurrott confirmed Microsoft would offer a replacement for the aging Windows Media Center on Windows 10 with a a new playback feature later in the year.

The information was subsequently confirmed by Microsoft’s Gabe Aul on Twitter.

“We can confirm that due to decreased usage, Windows Media Center will not be part of Windows 10,” he tweeted. “If you have WMC now, we’ll have a DVD option for you in an update later this year.”

Windows Media Center was used by many to record and watch TV shows on PC in the living room, and sources told Thurrott Microsoft would start offering DVR capabilities using Xbox One.

The console currently allows users to DVR gameplay and use the platform to watch TV but not record programming for later viewing. This will change at some point, but a launch date was not provided by his source.

That will be a great feature for the Xbox One. It is soon becoming an all-in-one device.

FriskyPanda Wasn't this one of the pointless features Microsoft tried to sell us on back in 2013? This is pointless, stick to gaming Microsoft. 2013 E3 should be a lesson learned.


What do you mean stick to gaming? Xbox isnt like PS4 where you can only play games its an all in one system which can do much more than just play games. Some games on PS4 may have better graphics than XB1 but in my opinion the games still feel much better on XB1.
