Has anyone heard if Microsoft plans to implement this feature in the future? It seems pointless to stream a game to the PC if someone can't use the actual Xbox to watch TV at the same time.

Interesting... I have only played around with the streaming thing to see what it was like but have never went to see what it shows on the actual TV. Would be interesting to know this. (oh and I am 800 miles away from home, so someone else will have to look)

I can only get it to stream the exact thing on the TV and the PC. So whoever is on the Xbox has to watch me play the division. I could just take the HDMI directly from the DirecTV box into the TV but that defeats one of the main features of the Xbox .

Yeah, am I wrong in thinking that the Xbox had a seperate processor for TV built in? Thought that would open the door to multi-tasking, but I may be asking a lot out of a $400 box.

Using a different input for the TV and Xbone is really the only way around this...you know...like we did two years ago...

I get that, but the all in one media center was their main selling point of the console and it seems that the only real reason to need to stream a game to your PC would be so you could use the Xbox to stream video content to your TV simultaneously. I think they dropped the ball on that
