A future Xbox One update will also stream TV to tablets, phones via SmartGlass

13 Aug 2014

The same Xbox One update that will allow for USB and DLNA media playback will also contain the ability to stream digital TV from the Xbox One to tablets and phones via SmartGlass.

Microsoft confirmed the functionality will only be possible in regions where the recently-announced Digital TV Tuner is supported, meaning the functionality is currently restricted to Europe.

Are you wanting an Australian release of the tuner so you can stream free-to-air content via the Xbox One to your SmartGlass-enabled device?

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
