And with the OneGuide, your top channels, gaming and entertainment apps, and movies are right where you want them.

      This is a cheap way to turn a decent computer screen into a smart TV if you already have an Xbox One.

      Thanks OP!

          Hi bwatt72, sorry about the rude reply from idonotknowwhy.

          I use my Xbox One S with a computer screen. Connecting this Xbox One Digital TV Tuner to an antenna and my Xbox One S will allow me to watch live TV on my computer screen in addition to gaming, watching catch up TV and using the Xbox One S as a media centre.

      Or if you only have one arial near a tv, you can use the Xbox to stream DTV to a laptop whilst someone else watches FTA on the main screen. This was useful whilst watching the FIFA World Cup on two screens.

      • UFO on 21/07/2018 - 20:53

        What, so the Xbox casts it to the laptop? Didn't know it could do that?

        • Agarwal on 21/07/2018 - 21:49

          It sure does, you'll need to plug a controller in but you can stream and watch tv or play games on it

          It does work but last time I tried it, it was SUPER buggy. I've always found Microsoft's implementation of remote play in general unreliable compared to Sony's, but then I haven't used either for years so YMMV

        • Cap N on 22/07/2018 - 18:46

          It's pretty reliable nowadays, if you're using an ethernet connection for your PC and the Xbox…

    • lplau on 21/07/2018 - 22:19

      Yes and No.
      Almost no projectors have tv tuners in them. So quite a few people would either buy a set top box, or buy a Xbox One S which has tv capability + 4K Bluray all in one.

      Since the Xbox One S 1TB version went on sale for 179 or 199, that has become a very good buy.

      • Shaddolf on 22/07/2018 - 07:09

        Yep this was me. Bought this tuner to watch TV on the projector.

  • bwatt72 on 21/07/2018 - 20:33

    I aready have an app which i use on my xbox that gives digital tv so what does this do?

    • UFO on 21/07/2018 - 20:51
      +4

      If you are using an app, you are using your internet connection to stream the feed.

      This allows you to use an existing aerial socket, so you keep your bandwidth for more important things.

    • dealspider on 21/07/2018 - 21:43

      I have an Xbox One S. In my area TV reception is pretty bad. Never get channel 10. Though I am don't watch Free-to-air much. I would like to know if there is an app to watch all channels in Xbox

      • Agarwal on 21/07/2018 - 21:51

        There's apps for SBS, ABC & Ten, not sure about the other 2, though I don't think you can watch live TV on them, only catchup.

        • dealspider on 21/07/2018 - 21:58

          I don't think there is an SBS app for Xbox. I wanted it so badly during FIFA. Couldn't find it.

        • Agarwal on 21/07/2018 - 22:30

          @dealspider:

          It looks like it has been removed, I had it a few years ago but looks like it has gone now. But it was only for catch up, not live tv I think.

        Fair enough, I guess it's good if you are using it on a monitor without a TV, then again a PCIE TV tuner would give better results and would be able to record

        • p1 ama on 22/07/2018 - 16:24

          But also a lot more expensive. Also, not everyone has a PC connected up to said monitor either.

    • yummycoot on 22/07/2018 - 02:47

    • tor on 21/07/2018 - 23:42
      +5

      You can use it with a raspberry pi running linux with VDR and an external usb hard drive. Then you will have a fully functioning PVR. I'd rather recommend the playstation tuner though, as it's a dual-tuner. I have a setup with an old atom based motherboard with integrated nvidia graphics and use two PS dual-tuner TV cards with VDR.

    That's interesting… according to this review (https://www.trustedreviews.com/reviews/xbox-one-digital-tv-t…) you can stream tv to your iOS devices (iPad, iPhone), and conversely use those same devices to control the Xbox One.

    For instance, you could stream live tv to your iPad while you use the TV to play the Xbox, something that would come in very handy at our house!

    Also has PLex and DLNA support.

  • Yummy on 21/07/2018 - 21:36

    Don't have Xbox. Can I play this directly to PC instead, to receive a TV broadcast on PC?

    I lost my TV tuner. Need a replacement.

  • kirt on 21/07/2018 - 21:48

    Grabbed one at this price, which I reckon is priced about right seeing as it's a single tuner with no DVR function (but can stream FTA to other devices, which is cool).

        Tempted to buy another for twin tuner setup…..

    • [Deactivated] on 24/07/2018 - 21:05

      Hang on, this guy might be onto something.

      The link indicates that plex is compatible on Windows with the "Hauppauge Freeview HD TV for Xbox One" and that "The 'Xbox One' tuners must be plugged into the computer running Plex Media Server, not into an Xbox One".

      So this might work assuming what is posted is the same or sufficiently similar.

      Where have i gone wrong?

    • tor on 21/07/2018 - 23:44

      These tuners are often slightly more picky about the signal quality than TV tuners actually. if you have a small roof mounted antenna of this style: https://www.sciteq.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/p-1104-… ? They usually require an antenna amplifier, otherwise the signal is too weak.

    • static on 21/07/2018 - 23:55

      • AlexF on 22/07/2018 - 09:05

    • dheywood on 22/07/2018 - 09:51

      Any half decent quality roof mounted antenna and using quality fittings and cables will be fine. Ensure correct termination at all fittings etc.
      Obviously having the antenna pointing in the correct direction to transmission towers is important.

    • idonotknowwhy on 22/07/2018 - 15:30

      I haven't done so myself, but I saw people on IRC talking about how it works with some unofficial linux drivers.
      Might not be plug and play, but since you have a rPI, you probably don't mind getting it to work yourself.

    • idonotknowwhy on 22/07/2018 - 15:32

  • BooYa on 11/08/2018 - 10:35

    If you get this then the xbox media remote is a must-buy as the controller is a pain to use. The remote is also very basic and not cheap. One other thing, you may want to keep in mind that Windows has become essentially spyware and you need to ask yourself the question if you want M$ to know what you play AND what you watch.
