twofour screenshots you see in the gallery below were sent to us by tipster Aaron, who says that he turned on his Xbox 360 today and noticed a new TV icon with four text squares in his media blade and was wondering if we knew what it was all about. We investigated and noticed that this new TV icon option wasn’t normal and replaced the “Video Marketplace” option that we see on our dash.

- On-demand movies
- Chat while watching TV
