AT&T To Allow Xbox 360 As U-verse Set-Top Box

Posted by Soulskill on from the convergent-evolution dept.

suraj.sun sends this quote from Engadget about U-verse subscribers soon gaining the ability to use an Xbox 360 as a set-top box: "A so-called Wired Release will roll out to AT&T U-verse customers next Sunday, and it'll bring the long awaited feature with it (though you'll have to wait until November 7th for that particular aspect). This means an AT&T U-verse customer's Xbox 360 will have a Dashboard app, and when launched, it'll let it function exactly like any other U-verse set-top. The only major catch is that it can't be the only set-top — you'll need at least one DVR at another TV in the house to enjoy one of the four HD streams that could be funneled into your home."

    That's because some of those streams have been crossed, which they really shouldn't do.

    Wow, finally, a DVR worse than the Scientific Atlanta Explorer 8300HD.
