Xbox 360 Elite: Interview with Microsoft’s Albert Penello – Gizmodo

Gizmodo: When will we be able to record live TV and have some of the same networks that are on cable using Xbox 360?

Penello: That’s the announcement we made at CES around the IPTV and Xbox 360.

Gizmodo: When is that going to be available? How’s that going?

Penello: What we’re saying is that we’ll be in trials later, late in the summer, and possibly consumer rollout in the fall, but we haven’t made any… what we were really showing at CES was the two technologies, the IPTV technology which has already been announced, and then we actually had it running on an Xbox 360. We haven’t really announced any specifics about when that’s rolling out. Of course, IPTV was already rolled out last year in many markets.

That would be much sooner than I expected, but as with most approximated project delivery dates I figure it won’t be until next year. Still interesting though. Definitely something to keep tabs on.
