But you get a lot of benefits out of Xbox Live Gold account so you can basically add another benefit to the list. Also ATT and Microsoft both say you need an Xbox Live Gold account to view programming. This takes away from just turing on the Tv and basically watching it. You do have to go to your MY APPS tab on the 360 interface and choose my apps. Getting to Att Uverse on the Xbox can be complicated to the point that your significant other is not happy. Which means basically I got the first month free and I basically got my money back on the Xbox 360 installation. What is even more exciting is that Att basically sent me $200 dollars worth of thank you for signing up with att visa credit cards. This includes setup by a tech (which I did myself once it was activated), a XBOX remote and installation disc. The only downside is that Att charges you a $99 dollar fee to use the Xbox as your cable box. Score!!! That saves me at least 10 bucks a month if not 15 bucks a month. I can use my Xbox 360 as my second box for no additional charge and have the ability to watch tv through it. What was really exciting was the fact that you wouldn’t have to pay a monthly fee. I was surfing att’s website and stumbled upon a tiny section that said they were working with Microsoft to use the Xbox 360 as an alternative to a dvr box. But something even more exciting happened. I had previously been with Cox and Time Warner Cable and had a year stint with Comcast when I lived in the mid west and was really excited to try something new. I checked into it and it turns out it was offered in my area. When I was moving into my new place I asked PB who his cable provider was, and he sold me hard on Att. I will buy the MLB package but for the apple tv, so that I can enjoy it on all my apple devices, such as Apple Tv, LG Smart Tv, Iphone, IPad. I used to be a Netflix guy but thats an entire blog onto itself. NO HBO, Skin O Mac, showtime Stars and whatever else they have now. So my alternative is finding ways to save money on the actual cable bill.
Stuff that you just cant torrent, plus I like background noise. In my case I watch to much mindless tv like the travel channel and discovery channel. His only road block is, his wife is addicted to the OWN network and she basically watches too often for him to get rid of cable. For him this means getting rid of cable all together.
PB and I are looking into ways to cut the cord if you will. So using my XBOX 360 as a dvr is just the start of a lot of posts regarding what I consider to be am awesome home theater. I have been working on the ultimate home media theater experience.
