Xbox One’s Official Over-the-Air Tuner Available Today

4.7
Cable cutters in the U.S. and Canada rejoice, the Xbox One has finally received its planned over-the-air tuner so owners can watch TV even if they don’t pay for cable.

The tuner is available for $59.99 by itself if you want to buy an antenna separately or already own one, but Microsoft is also offering a bundle for $99.99 that includes an antenna as well saving customers about $30.

Now if you don’t know what channels you’ll be able to get in your area, Mohu has a site set up specifically for Xbox One owners to input their addresses and see what stations they’ll be able to receive.

If you’re interested in the bundle, you’ll want to only check what channels you’ll get using their Leaf 50 antenna as that’s the one included in the bundle.

When watching TV using the tuner you’ll also be able to pause live TV for 30 minutes, snap it to the side while playing games, and stream it to compatible devices using the Smartglass app.

Meh, no interest to me tbh. I don't watch much TV anyway, or use my consoles at all so w/e.

This is actually pretty cool if you don't have cable.

Isn't this a little late? Last year at E3, Microsoft made a rather HUGE point stating about TV coming, I would imagined such a thing was released long before now.

DeluxeHazardPosted:

I see the point of Microsoft having a product like this but anybody who can afford an Xbox One usually will have cable.

PryzelPosted:

Useless for me personally, pretty good for some people without cable though.

This looks like a good alternative for people that don't have cable, go Microsoft!

Erza This seems pretty pointless to me tbh


If people don't have cable, this is perfect, so I assume you have cable.
