In Paul Thurrott's latest Windows Weekly podcast, he talks about a pre-CES briefing he had with some Microsoft bigwigs. And apparently they told him that Microsoft will indeed be updating the Xbox 360 by the end of the year, adding a larger hard drive, and some new hardware to take enable IPTV.
At CES, it was starting to look like Microsoft was going to add IPTV to existing Xobox 360 units without the need to upgrade any hardware. But that would essentially leave current users with a PVR that only has a 20GB hard drive. And that's just silly.
The big question is whether the IPTV functions will only work on new-model Xbox 360s, or if Microsoft will offer upgrades for existing users. I'm gonna bet on the latter, as Microsoft has already shown they're willing to sell add-ons, such as the external HD-DVD drive.

1. All I want is the 65nm Xbox 360 to cool down not iptv. Just the 65nm that's all!!! I've waited since the 360 launched now I have to wait about another year!!!
