If I'm not at uni working then I'll either be at home playing computer games, working on uni stuff or going to Ju-Jitsu (I currently hold an orange belt in that)....Oh and drinking my alcohols of the month

Microsoft Teams Up With BT (Not Bit Torrent)

Whilst on the bus to uni earlier today, I picked up a newspaper (METRO) and proceeded to read it in order to pass away the monotony of the journey. I came across an article on the 360 concerning watching TV on it. I thought I'd post on it given the recent discussion on the 360 Ultimate and It's possible IPTV support.
Here's the article in full:

XBOX 360 fans will be able to watch TV through their console following a deal between BT and Microsoft. The BT vision service will be available to broadband customers who will have access to a range of TV shows, films and sporting events - including 'near live' FA Premier League football matches - later this year. Dan Marks, chief executive of BT Vision, said: "For the first time, consumers in the UK will be able to experience the advantages of an advanced TV service together with the benefits of next-generation gaming." BT Vision is already offered to customers with a broadband connection via a set-top box, know as the V-Box

Now I might not be a fan of the 360 but this is pretty sweet.
