Microsoft still not sure on Xbox 360 IPTV launch date

Microsoft has denied the rumors in the market which stated that the upcoming Xbox 360 fall update would bring the much awaited IPTV functionality to the Xbox 360 gaming console.

Microsoft spoke about the rumors in the market: “This was an isolated incident where these features were inadvertently exposed while the customer’s console was being serviced and is unrelated to the fall update.”

They also avoided talking about what features they plan to roll out in this upcoming update.

The company had originally planned to bring 360 IPTV service by the start of the holiday season this year. Looks like it is now delayed and there is no date promised by the software giant.

A company representative added: “Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) features will only be available from the Xbox 360 through a service provider who has deployed Xbox 360 with Microsoft Mediaroom (IPTV) services. Xbox 360 with Microsoft Mediaroom (IPTV) will be available to service providers by the end of the year. Microsoft’s IPTV service providers will ultimately determine the timing of Xbox 360 with Microsoft Mediaroom deployments.”
