How can you source this into the US - thats what I'm wondering. Also, would it be compatible with US consoles and TV airwaves?

I want to buy this so I can connect an antenna to the XBone and not pay Comcast a ransom for shitty cable.

You can't! US uses ATSC and DVBS standard, neither of which are compatible with this box. Unfortunately from what I've found, MSFT is hitting a snag dealing with the cable/satellite companies over "licensing" because, not only does this box allow you to get OTA signals (just fine and dandy), it allows you to stream to other devices (apparently super bad for business or so Comcrap feels)

Right now I have an OTA antenna hooked to my TV and optical out to my surround receiver. It works, but I'd love - just LURVE - to have OneGuide again

I hate Comcast. Also DirecTV and Qwest/CenturyLink. Never had Dish, so I can't say anything there, but fuck I'm tired of this bullshit

I pay sixty bucks a month for Comcast's flaky-ass internet and they can't even throw in basic channels so I can watch fucking football or the news or Carson. Come on, guys

I pay $80 bucks a month for basic cable and better than crappy internet. But then they have fees up the wazoo - Modem Rental ($8), HD Broadcast service charge (cos I have HD channels and apparently its their "policy", $5), $5 for something else, taxes and fees.

Before you know it, I'm paying $117 for a bullshit service.

Comcast is the only provider I can select in my area. Cant get Dish cos I rent an apartment and I cant have things bolted to / wired through the building.

Time Warner is much better. Their cable interface/guide is awesome and so is the cost.

Too bad they got poached by Comc-ass

Yup. That's why I dropped 'em - as much as I could

I also hit up craigslist and found a brand new DOCSIS 3 modem for thirty bucks. Good bye rental fee!

I have my OTA antenna running though my XBox One, you just need to buy a digital convertor box. I used the Mediasonic HW-150PVR , plugs right into the XBox's HDMI-IN and the Xbox can control it. You can even select your local OTA channels to display on the Xbox OneGuide.
