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.

This can be a handy tool for people that need it but other then that xb1 is coming out with so many new things and features it's just great.

I wonder if you could get drivers for it, and watch tv on your computer without installing a tv tuner card.

XGN_Jr Pretty pointless in my opinion




Erza This seems pretty pointless to me tbh


It's not entirely pointless as people without cable can use it.

Tricks This isn't a bad idea. although i feel like if you have an xbox one you should have cable in the first place


Yeah but they must of made it because maybe some people who don't have cable could get this. I doubt they just made it with out looking at the statistics of people who have cable and don't or something like that.

This is very good for some or most US users on the XB1, doesn't really help me though.

With todays technology, this will be pretty pointless but believe it or not, this might be a very useful device.

Not a bad little device, but I personally don't know anyone who has an Xbox One but doesn't have cable lol

A kind of pointless device, but some people will find it useful.
