Xbox Live is the first big step to true video convergence

Microsoft updates the Xbox Live platform launched Tuesday to give a lot of new material to their users. Although many new materials by the suppliers of cable and IPTV television networks, the importance of the most current online and pay TV content mix, and the ability to see the other side of the surface.

EPIX, new applications, ESPN, Hulu Plus, Netflix and NBC Today, Tuesday the United States and abroad, Love Film (United Kingdom), Mediaset Premium is a game (Italy), Telefonica Movistar Imagenio on ( Spain), and Sky Go (Austria and Germany to begin with). Meanwhile, the software will be available in Japan, Hulu and Netflix began in Canada.

Later, in December, is played by the Americans apps Crackle, Dailymotion iheartradio, MSN, MSNBC, TMZ treat !!!!! Verizon FiOS, Vevo, Vudu and YouTube. CinemaNow wants, HBO and Comcast XFINITY Go MLB.tv in the early settlement of claims in 2012. International users, in December Xbox wide range of topics, including 4 on-demand application and five in the UK, Canal + and + the room in Spain GolTV and Rogers UFC on Demand and Canada. Access to YouTube is MLB.tv in various international markets. (A full list is available here.)

Yes, Microsoft only support streaming player and makes the content of the traditional world of television and move. But this is not the mixture is interesting is that the equipment available, but the same search interface.

Manufacturers of consumer electronics like Samsung and Sony also launched programs to keep Comcast, Time Warner Cable to develop, HBO and other content partners. But so far, it seems that most implementations based on experience silo. In other words, you are on the App Store is the APP Samsung to watch HBO on the lookout for a show, open to retirement, Comcast, the application to see another show, etc. He ' there is no good method for the surfaces of various materials suppliers.

Built-in version of Xbox Live, which is unified search engine powered by Bing. When a user searches for a movie like Iron Man, he or she has seen some of the services of the situation - be it the Epix app, Netflix application, or a pay-per-view programs such as Microsoft Zune Marketplace or Vudu. This will help users get a lot of content that they are not without worrying about what would be the actual performance observed.

We are great supporters of the need for better discovery mechanisms for video, such as the number of tracks and also to continue to increase the number of suppliers. There are some companies that try to take on this problem so far: TiVo agreed that the research followed by a hearing live TV and video on demand services from a single search mechanism. Google TV is also a similar feature, with a journey through the world TV VOD and online services such as Netflix and Hulu Plus.

But the new Xbox Dashboard from the discovery of service issue was first in the scale - available both for its large installed base of 35 million subscribers to Xbox Live, and more than 40 content partners from using the Service. Currently, only one drawback, and we hope the numbers Xbox: For now, the limit of the full search limit Bing, premium content - television shows and movies almost exclusively. So this is the content from Netflix and Verizon see side by side, it's always nice to be able to find a snail, and other new programs on TV episodes from Hulu More on YouTube.
