It was rumoured last month that Microsoft is developing a low-cost alternative to Xbox 720 designed to provide streamed access to core entertainment services. It will reportedly arrive next year (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/379959/xbox-tv-device-to-take-on-apple-tv-in-2013-report/) in the form of a set-top box, and the technology behind it may even be incorporated into a licensed Xbox television set.
Whether that's true or not, Microsoft's job ad clearly suggests that the firm's intent on boosting the amount of in-house TV content it produces.
