Xbox 360 will have 12 Imagenio channels

With the Movistar Imagenio application, the user will be able to access film, music and sports content without having to use controls.

The president of Microsoft Ibérica, María Garaña, and the president of Telefónica Spain, Luis Miguel Gilpérez, showed this Wednesday at the Telefónica FlagshipStore in Madrid a new and revolutionary way to enjoy entertainment.

Xbox 360 users will have 12 television channels to access the best film, music and sports content from their console. Customers will be able to enter the service thanks to precise voice and gesture control with Kinect.

Thus, Movistar Imagenio contributes to Xbox 360 expanding its concept of video game console to a comprehensive home entertainment solution. After revolutionizing video games through its innovative body and voice recognition, Kinect is ready to change the way you enjoy the best entertainment.

With the Movistar Imagenio application, the user will be able to access their favorite content without having to use controls.

To access Imagenio, the customer must have an Xbox 360 game console, an active account on the Microsoft Xbox LIVE online platform and an application downloadable from the Xbox 360 network platform.

Thanks to Imagenio, more than a million Spanish homes now enjoy the best channels and the full range of national and international cinema. Xbox LIVE users will be able to see the most impressive images of extreme skiing, Champions League matches, the best tennis, among others, and enjoy the most advanced gaming console of the moment on the same device.

“Movistar Imagenio is a great ally for us when it comes to revolutionizing home entertainment, and redefining the way in which people will consume multimedia content in the future,” said María Garaña, president of Microsoft Ibérica. “Thanks to Kinect, the day has come when we can control entertainment simply and intuitively through voice and gestures and enjoy it from a single device: Xbox 360.”

For his part, Luis Miguel Gilpérez stated that "with this innovative initiative, we are moving our Television service to the most innovative environment, in a pioneering experience that combines the best pay television with one of the world's market references in digital entertainment.
