Xbox One Over-The-Air TV Tuner Now Available


Xbox One Over-The-Air TV Tuner Now Available

Microsoft is now offering an Xbox One Digital TV Tuner designed for the console, thought a partnership with TV tuner manufacturer Haulage. The arrival of the dedicated hardware marks the wider launch of over-the-air TV support for Xbox One owners across the U.S. and Canada, following a preview launch of the software features via the Xbox beta program.
The OTA TV support for Xbox One means you can pair the new tuner hardware with an HDTV broadcast antenna (like the Mohu Leaf 50, which is available in a bundle with the new USB tuner for $100 direct from Microsoft) or whichever you might have to be using in your area currently. Live TV features include full HD signal support, as well as compatibility with Snap for side-by-side TV and gaming, Kinect for voice control, and streaming to other devices via the Xbox and Xbox One SmartGlass apps on Windows, Windows Phone, iOS and Android – even if the console’s being used for gaming by someone else in the house.

Other features include OneGuide integration, meaning you can navigate your OTA channels right alongside live TV, on demand content and cable/satellite feeds connected to your console. You can also pause live TV for up to 30 minutes, and then rewind and fast forward through that content (OTA DVR would be even nicer, but perhaps that will arrive as a future feature update).
I’ve already set up OTA TV on my Xbox One using the preview and an older version of the Hauppauge tuner, and found the results extremely satisfying. If you’re a cord cutter especially (or if you just prefer crisp OTA HD signals for things like sports), this is a great way to get up and running with the console you probably already have.

14 year old girl sentenced to 40 years for drowning baby A 14-year-old Dallas girl who drowned a 2 month old baby out of jealousy was sentenced by a juvenile court judge on Friday to 40 years in custody, the maximum punishment available, after admitting to drowning the infant in January, court officials said. The teenager will begin serving her sentence in state custody of the Texas Juvenile Justice Department. A judge will determine whether she is eligible for parole before her 19th birthday or should be transferred to an adult prison. In a juvenile lockup, the girl will have more options than if she had been tried as adult. She will go to school and get counseling. The baby belonged to a family friend who was in jail. Child Protective Services had placed the infant in the home of the teenage girl's mother at the request of the baby's mother, according to police. Investigators said the girl confessed to submerging 2-month-old Justice Hull in a bo...

LaunchKit Now Helps Developers Keep Track Of Their App Store Sales

LaunchKit Now Helps Developers Keep Track Of Their App Store Sales LaunchKit , which aims to give developers a tool set that makes  launching new apps easier , announced  its newest service this week. The free LaunchKit App Store Sales Reporter helps developers track the sales they generate from Apple’s App Store (just like its name implies). Instead of building a complex dashboard that developers can then obsess about every day, the team decided to use Slack and/or a daily email to keep users up to date on their sales. “The LaunchKit team built Sales Reporter because we wanted a simple way to get iTunes Connect sales data into the place our team communicated all the time: Slack,” LaunchKit founder Brenden Mulligan tells me “After a simple setup, the free tool starts posting sales data into Slack daily.” The service mostly focuses on the ba...
