Microsoft might be killing off Media Center in Windows 10, but the company is reportedly bringing one of its key features over to the Xbox One. Paul Thurrott reports
that a TV recording solution for the Xbox One is coming soon, and most
likely this year. Microsoft currently supports TV tuners in Europe and
North America on its Xbox One console, but there's only live TV pausing
and not full DVR capabilities.
It's logical that Microsoft would want to add a TV DVR function. When
the software company originally unveiled the Xbox One it was designed as
an all-in-one entertainment and games console, with a big focus on TV
features. Xbox One owners can use cable boxes with the console thanks to
HDMI-in support, but it's not clear if any DVR support would capture
recordings from this source. The Xbox One also has relatively small
storage (500GB) for a combination of games, media, and TV recordings.
Microsoft could opt to ship new Xbox One consoles with greater storage
options, like the special edition 1TB version released last year, or simply support TV recordings on USB storage.
