Microsoft

Back when the Xbox One was launched, many purists were left disappointed at Microsoft's apparent emphasis on the machine as an entertainment system, and while the software giant has since made a number of changes to please the baying mob of hardcore gamers, the console still has set-to genes running through its veins. The announcement of the $40 Digital TV Tuner late last summer only underlined the Xbox One's status as general living room fodder, and today, the company has announced a deal to bring an over-the-air TV tuner solution to the fore.

Microsoft has stepped up its game with the Xbox One both in terms of hardware and software, the latter of which is subject to a decent update at regular intervals. As of right now, the April Xbox One update is available to all, featuring a number of improvements, fixes and new implementations. Full details, as ever, can be seen below.

Though there is an alternative, more energy-saving power mode in the Xbox One, which many chose to ignore, or are simply unaware of its existence. Head over the jump to find out more.
