Cut the Cord With Xbox One TV Tuner

Microsoft is appealing to cord cutters with a digital TV tuner for Xbox One that will let console owners watch local broadcast channels from Microsoft's device.

Redmond made the option available to Xbox One preview program members last month, but it is now available to all console owners in the U.S. and Canada.

It's not as easy as a software update, though. You'll need to purchase a TV tuner and antenna to tap into broadcast channels.

Microsoft is offering an over-the-air TV bundle—a Hauppauge Digital TV Tuner for Xbox One plus Mohu Leaf 50 antenna— for $99.99 on its website. A standalone tuner is $59.99 on Microsoft's site or Amazon.
