[Q]Xbox Kinetic + Xbox Skyplayer???

evolutionqy7

Q1 - was wondering is there any exact date when the kinetic hits the market?

Q2 - xBox slim can play sky? does it play it from the internet or can you get hardware add-on to plug in your card and satellite cables?

It's called Kinect.

Think it comes out Nov 10.

Sky player streams from an Internet connection.

No, and there never will be. It isn't a satellite receiver, it's a games console.

My answer is still no. There is just no way for such a device to interface with the console - how would it input video to a console who's only purpose is to output video? What would be the point of it either, if you've got the dish, subscription and viewing card then surely you've got a box to hook up to the TV?

Oh it'd be handy, but I just can't see it happening I'm afraid - there's very little demand for it

The OP knows this, but I just assume they don't have the broadband capable of delivering a quality service.
