Windows 10 and TV DVR recording coming to Xbox One in November

"

Microsoft just made a couple of very exciting Xbox One-related announcements at the Gamescom conference (which our colleagues at Vidaextra are following in detail). The first has to do with the expected arrival of Windows 10 to this video game console. Recall that Microsoft had already promised that Windows 10 would work on everything, including tablets, PCs, phones, Xbox consoles, HoloLens, and even Internet of Things devices."

"

Well, today&39;s announcement finally reveals when we will have this new operating system on the Xbox One.The chosen date is November of this year, at which time a dashboard update will be released that will be mounted on top of Windows 10. "

Of course, this does not mean that the Xbox One will have the same appearance as the desktop of Windows 10 for PCs. As we mentioned earlier, the update for Xbox will include a new interface, specially designed for the console, and that it will be focused on the easy access to games and social functions of Xbox Live In Microsoft's words, it will be an experience typical of Xbox One, but powered by Windows 10 .

The advantage of this is that it will make it easier to create games that are compatible with both Windows 10 and Xbox One, and will also allow the use of universal appson the console ( although Microsoft has not confirmed that support for these apps will be available in November as well).

"

In addition, the new Windows 10 dashboard will include Cortana, allowing you to use commands like Hey Cortana, record the last minute of gameplay, and share it, or Hey Cortana, create a group chat and invite Bob ."

TV recording and streaming of recorded programs: available in 2016

Microsoft also announced the arrival of free TV recording to Xbox One, which will complement its role as a media center, and will also provide an alternative to users of the defunct Windows Media Center.

"

This feature will only be coming in 2016, but it seems to be very well done. Not only will it allow you to record TV on the go, but it will also allow you to schedule recordings, and even record remotely, through the Xbox mobile apps."

It will be compatible with DTT channels in Spain, and will offer integration with the OneGuide or TV programming guide that is already available on Xbox One. In addition, we will be allowed to stream the recorded programs to other devices, including tablets and phones with Android and iOS, through the SmartGlass application, and we can even download programs recorded with the Xbox to those devices, in order to reproduce them offline.
