Microsoft confirmed the recent rumors and announced a new streaming TV implementation for the Xbox 360 today at its
pre-E3 2011 keynote. The
Kinect and Bing-powered voice search that can pull in content from online sources like Hulu, Netflix and Xbox Live Marketplace, will also work with live TV from IPTV partners. So far that list only includes
Sky in the UK, Foxtel in Australia and
Canal+ in France, but users there will be able to search across all the services and view them directly through the console itself. There's no word on any US-based partners but if we had to guess AT&T's U-verse will probably be first in line
again. One thing you will be able to watch in the US -- PPV UFC fights, streamed directly to the Xbox 360.
Microsoft integrates live TV streaming from Sky TV, Foxtel and Canal on Xbox 360 originally appeared on Engadget on Mon, 06 Jun 2011 13:07:00 EDT. Please see our terms for use of feeds.
