Xbox One Digital TV Tuner uses optional 4GB hard drive space

The Xbox One Digital TV Tuner has been further detailed by Microsoft.

While DVR recording won't be supported, the device will reserve an optional 4GB of hard drive space for up to 30 minutes of live pausing, fast forward and rewinding of current broadcasts.

The specifics were revealed during a behind-closed-doors demo of Xbox One's October update at gamescom 2014, which is set to be available around the same time as the Xbox One Digital TV Tuner.

As part of the update, live television that is broadcast through the upcoming TV tuner device can be streamed to any device that supports SmartGlass.
