Record TV shows while playing a game?

"At the Consumer Elecronics Show in Las Vegas, Microsofts Bill Gates unveiled a new functionality for the Xbox 360. The company is planning to debut an IPTV (Internet Protocol TV) service before the end of the year. This would allow the platform to act as a digital video recorder similar to TiVo, letting you record and watch tv programs.
This new functionality would work in tandem with your 360 to seamlessly blend the two. For instance, you could play 360 games while your recording your favorite TV show."

This feature will be great! I will have more info and hopefully some pictures soon.

It better be free lol. So it's like TV shows streaming through the server into your console?

If they make this free then this would definitely help them win the console war.

Well you will be using the hard drive on the 360. This wont come out until Microsoft releases their 100gb hard drive. Or whatever sizes they are releasing.

What??

Broadband won't cut it? That's BS, there won't be THAT many people using this stuff if you have to have fiber optics.

And it better come free, for those who DO pay for that expensive stuff.
