Hey, Peter Rubin at Wired as part of

our exclusive look at the new Xbox console.

So we just got done putting the Kinect sensor

through it's paces and seeing all

of it's improved capabilities.

But it's time to relax with a little television.

One of my pet peeves about television as I watch it now

is I know a few channels, I know a few channels

but let's say it's Monday night football is about to start

and I have no idea what my ESPN channel is.

What can I do?

[Ashley] Well actually Peter, we have you covered.

You don't have to remember what channel it's on

anymore.

You can just say, Xbox, Channel 13.

ESPN?

Your Program Guide is available no matter

what you're doing on the console.

So whether you're playing Halo,

whether you're watching TV, whether you're

watching some other video content

you can always say, Xbox show Guide

and the Program Guide will come up right on top.

But the ability to snap in another application

is that something that we have going now?

Yeah, we can totally show that.

Xbox, go Home.

Xbox, Snap Live TV.

And the idea here is that in this sidebar that we have

we'll also give you access to the channels

that you've used recently.

So now I know that also Skype is a big part

of the Xbox environment and it's something

you guys are really excited about

as kind of a move to real video chat

with the new Kinect sensor.

Yeah exactly, with the Kinect sensor in the living room

we have an HD camera, we've got a microphones

so that everyone can talk and we're really excited

about putting Skype together with Live TV.

Have the video call going in Snap while

you're still watching TV and then telling your friend,

hey, Kobe's going wild in the fourth quarter,

time to turn it on as you can do that.

And then you can continue to watch the game

together with Skype call while you're watching the game.

So obviously this is an early build.

But my team is working around the clock every day

trying to make this better and better day over day.

We've come a super long way in seven months.

You're not even going to believe what you see when we ship.

Thank you so much Ben Smith and Ashley Speicher.

And Live TV on the new Xbox, there's a lot more

to check out so we're going to see what's next.
