Microsoft have confirmed that IPTV will be making its way to the 360, but will not feature in the Fall update. IPTV will be part of the Microsoft Mediaroom service, which will be made available to service providers by the end of the year. Check after the jump for Microsoft’s statement on the subject.
Circulating rumors and screenshots point to the possibility of an IPTV service making its way to the Xbox 360 in the near future. A reader of Xbox 360 Fanboy noticed a new icon on his Xbox 360 Dashboard, after the console was returned from repair. When hovered over, the description of the icon reads:
Use television services.
• Live & recorded TV
• On-demand movies
• Chat while watching TV
When clicked an error message comes up referring the user to www.microsoft.com/tv - and while we’re still labeling this one as a rumor, it sure looks to us like the only question we need answered is “When?”
