TV Platform On XBox One Version 2.0

After we shipped our first version Xbox Live TV experience. I continued to focus on the new version based on the improving console OS performance.

The data collected from the usage & interviews on the 1st version TV platform helped us redesign the system based on users insights.

In my last year in Xbox (2014-2015), I  splitted my time between this project and the Xbox app 2.0 project.
