North Americans jealous of the Xbox One Digital TV Tuner in regions like Australia and the UK now have an equivalent service in the form of the Hauppauge WinTV-955Q.
Microsoft and Hauppauge have partnered to bring over-the-air TV to Xbox One for $79.99 USD. According to Xbox Wire, those in North America who’d like to use the service must be members of the Xbox One Preview Program.
The WinTV-955Q is compatible with Xbox One and is available at retailers like Amazon, Best Buy, GameStop and Micro Center. The two companies will also develop a tuner designed exclusively for Xbox One, and at a lower price point.
“In the next few months,” Microsoft said, “Xbox will be partnering with Hauppauge to release a lower cost version of this tuner, the Hauppauge TV Tuner for Xbox One, retailing for MSRP $59.99 [USD], and available to everyone in the U.S. and Canada.”
Xbox’s Larry ‘Major Nelson’ Hryb showed off the Hauppauge tuner in a new video:
