[QUOTE="RoadBlock2000, post: 996316, member: 130339"] I see the Live TV as a premium service tied in with a compatible box from Sky or Virgin (that allows the XBOX to change channels control via HDMI). It removed the need to switch inputs (TV, Amp, etc) when you change the source but I get everything through MediaPortal anyhow. The only reason I change inputs at the moment is to switch to the XBox 360. All Video services will be from subscription services like Netflix or SkyNow. I don't expect it to integrate with anything I have stored in the house so MediaPortal wins again for me. As for Skype, I' d be interested to find out how many people actually video chat? I have it on my PC, Phone & tablet but never used it except for the odd voice call. For me, the XBox One will be a games machine. Yes I want one & yes it's already on my Christmas list but I won't be paying for all the premium services that were showed off at yesterdays launch. MediaPortal (& XBMC) has everything covered for that as far as I'm concerned. [/QUOTE]
