Digital TV tuner

The Xbox One Digital TV Tuner provides Xbox One users with a better over-the-air digital terrestrial TV experience through the USB single tuner, an alternative to accessing TV content from a cable or satellite set-top box connected through the HDMI-In port. Additionally, the new digital TV tuner will also support free-to-air DVB-T, DVB-T2 and DVB-C television standards.

Features

In addition to the features highlighted in the video above, here’s a list of the capabilities enabled by the Xbox One Digital TV Tuner in those select markets:

• Watch HD TV on Xbox One: With the Xbox One Digital TV Tuner, you can watch free-to-air DVB-T, DVB-T2 and DVB-C television channels without changing TV inputs. You can receive game invitations and notifications while watching TV and even watch TV while you wait for a multiplayer match to start.
