Microsoft has already signed deals with Sky and Canal+ to bring European TV content to Xbox One.
As part of this week’s reveal event, Microsoft focused on its new console’s TV offering, announcing a major partnership with the NFL which will bring exclusive, interactive content to Xbox One. It also announce a partnership with Steven Spielberg, who will be involved in a new Halo TV series.
We asked Microsoft Studios boss Phil Spencer what the platform holder’s plans are for Europe.
“We have partnerships with Sky, with Canal+ in France, and we’ll continue to grow our international expansion,” he told us. “We’ll put a worldwide face on the platform because Europe, in particular, is especially important to us this generation.”
“We want the world to watch television through this box,” he added.

What happens if you're a Virgin Media customer then?
I only have Freeview and won't pay for Sky or Virgin Media, so this makes the XBox One even less relevant to me.
