Basically your Xbone would need another cable box if you want to watch some TV through it. :dahell: It just connects to your existing cable box and organize the content into its fancy looking guide.

:angry: Basically these dude make you pay a subscription to access your own internet( netflixs, hulu, youtube, etc) through your 360. Now they want you to pay a subscription ( Live paywall) to access your television channels.

:russ:

Yup. We all know it will be behind the Live Gold firewall. They aint foolin no one. If the shyt was REPLACING your existing cable box, that would be one thing...but you still need to connect your cable box to it. :snoop:

snitch box is some other shyt forreal

- listening for keywords in your conversation to know what to market to you
- analyzing facial features to see how you respond to ads
- identifying you when you enter the room
- netflix changing your licensing depending on how many people are in the room

i'm not anyone important but i don't how you could be cool with the 24/hr cam shyt. there's going to come a time when them fourchan dudes figure out how hack that shyt and it's going to be a nightmare for millions :wow:

You need a cable box from an actual cable provider?

I wonder, just for example. Can you game anonymously because what if you're someone famous and dont want to be spied on or to have other people know who you are. Im sure it'll have privacy settings but damn I wouldnt want kinect to be mandatory.

Wii u already has this. It's kinda silly really. Although we do the same here when shows are on, comment and such while it's goin on it uses Facebook or Twitter or your live acct.

It will have programmable codes for the set top box as well as the tv so you can change the input from the single device.

It is silly though especially with all the advances coming from the cable providers to their set tops.

Twitter connectivity sounds kinda dope, I remember some g4 shows had a little stream at the bottom of the screen with tweets & shyt

If its like that then :ehh:

:comeon: i aint buying the spybox 1.

But I bet you don't actually sit down and think about the technology you use everyday. We are all being spied/have been spied on in one way or another, so what's the difference? Please tell me you don't have Google Now on your phone, because then you'd be contradicting your argument
