Xbox One Digital TV Tuner reaches Europe

Coaxial cables won't stop European Xbox One owners from using the console's various media center capabilities thanks to the debut of the Xbox One Digital TV Tuner.

Though the Xbox One is designed to augment and enhance a user's existing cable TV stream, in Europe many people still receive television through coaxial cables, which is a problem given that the console has no coaxial input. The Digital TV Tuner accepts a coaxial input, then outputs the cable TV stream into USB, which the console can more easily recognize. Once everything's connected, users will have full access to the Xbox One's voice commands and OneGuide program listing.

The Xbox One Digital TV Tuner is now available for £25 in the UK, while Xbox One owners in France, Germany, Italy and Spain can pick up a Tuner for €30. There's currently no word on a potential North American launch.
