    Yeh I'd like to know too. I have the UPC grey Thompson box. No hdmi with it. So what's the Irish TV like? Does it even work?

    I plugged in the horizon box, the passthrough works fine but it is just that. I still need to use the remote, etc. I'd imagine neither sky or upc would be too happy handing over much control to MS, it's a pity, for the mean time I plugged it back out, after all I care more about the games.

    When you say passthrough? Could you see channels and a guide?

    Basically you're watching the box via the console. Instead of plugging the box into the TV, you're plugging it into the console which is then plugged into the TV so it's exactly the same just going to the TV via one extra source.

    I'd sooner use the HDMI input for the 360 tbh, allows me instant switching between consoles

    Yes seen this done with Mario. There is lag though so it does not work well.


    I'd love to see a video of UPC on the xbox and the tv channel list.

    It won't work until UPC or Sky upgrade their boxes to the US standard of HDMI+ CEC.... which may never even happen tbh....

    And of course IF MS allow it!

    Its not supported over here anyway the whole switching to TV thing....

    So pretty much it's just PIP? (Picture in Picture) That would be ok for me as my TV only allowed that with xbox 360 connected to it with vga and analogue TV so with TV through saorview I lost that functionality.

    Yup, it is only PIC in PIC over here, some mixed reports on how it functions, was talking to a lad earlier in the UK who tried his free view box in it, had a green hue on the screen when he watched it, got him to swap HDMI cables and it still didn't work right...

    On the other hand I spoke to some lad with a virgin tv box and it seemed to work with no issues, no guide other than the standard EPG obviously as it's not supported....
