<p>Rumours have been flying around for months now of Microsoft releasing a device to turn your Xbox console into a TV box. A new report suggest that this could become reality by Christmas&#8230; next year.</p>
<p>The Verge reports that the set-top Xbox would be a <em>“low-cost alternative&#8230; designed to provide access to core entertainment services”</em>.</p>
<p>To me this sounds like an Xbox 360 console which can’t play games and instead just has access to its multimedia apps such as LoveFilm, Sky and BBC iPlayer etc.</p>
<p>Would you use the Xbox as a freeview box? Do you already use your Xbox as a media player? Let us know below!</p>
