This has pause rewind etc features, thats not normally included in built in freeview boxes, it also allows you to watch tv snapped to your game if you wish, I sometimes use it to watch the football whilst playing a game, I know it does not have all the functions of a freeview recorder but for the price it is good value imho

I personally don't think its a novelty i use snap all the time and not just for tv, all hard drives have a finite life, even if you bought a stand alone freeview recorder that has hard drive just like the xbox (maybe a different speed and brand but they all do same thing)

genuine comment (not trolling :stuck_out_tongue: ) but apart from if you had a really old TV without a digital tuner why would you use an Xbox one to watch TV? don't all TV's have freeview and most I presume with freeview HD. Why would someone switch their Xbox on (with the extra power consumption) just to watch TV?

Well I've got one and think it's a great little thing.
Sure, you can get some stuff through normal TV but with this you can pause/rewind, etc., get HD if you couldn't already, snap TV in to games and get what's actually a really good TV guide/planner through the Xbox.
If you only use Freeview then it is a good purchase.

Not sure I'd want my Xbox's hard drive running all the time as they only have a finite life, can sort of understand the snap usefulness but my TV has picture in picture, after showing the family once the novelty of it wore off.

I agree and the point of this item is so you dont turn off the xbox to watch TV
