Windows Media Center, a DVR and Media Player suite with an interface that works well on both the desktop and in the living room, is being phased with Xbox Video as a suggested replacement. For now, it lacks the DVR functionality that were introduced with Windows MCE, but this may all change later this year.
Paul Thurrott of WinSuperSite and the Windows Weekly podcast has been in contact with unnamed sources, who are assuring the arrival of TV broadcast recording functionality. Through Xbox Video, this should allow the Xbox One to act as a DVR, complementing one of its core features, the OneGuide.
Continuously adding new features through firmware updates, the Xbox One feature set now includes digital TV tuner support in North America, which has been available in Europe for over a year. Perhaps Microsoft's renewed focus on Xbox One entertainment could actually regain its momentum with DVR capabilities.
