Xbox One’s TV integration experiencing difficulty in UK & Europe
The ability to connect your cable or set-top box to the console via the HDMI-in pass-through is one of Xbox One’s touted key features. Doing this will allow you to use Kinect as a TV remote and, with supported boxes, allows the console to pull all the programme data and display it on your TV. It also offers voice search, among other features.
According to a report by HDTVset.co.uk, it appears however, that Microsoft didn’t think of one small thing before bringing the feature to the UK and Europe. The console is reportedly running at 60HZ at all times, which is non-issue for games and TV broadcasts in the United States, since the country’s TV broadcast is all in 60HZ. The issue is that in PAL territories, namely the UK and mainland Europe, all TV broadcasts are using a 50HZ system leading into a judder-filled picture, according to the site.
The site notes that the Xbox One uses a method of frame rate conversion – or ‘FRC’ – to be able to display and accept the signal at 50HZ, then display it at 60HZ all the time, which is especially jarring in panning shots or any broadcast with fast action, such as live football.

I have not yet tried this feature out but once I get a TV box for my room I will.
It looks pretty neat and it would be awesome to be able to switch to tv right from my Xbox.
