A new entry in Microsoft' s Careers page reveals that MGS is looking for a Software Engineer to develop a new feature for the Xbox successor called Xbox TV.

Want to help create a new feature for Xenon not available on any other platform? Microsoft Game Studios is looking for an SDET with server experience to help design and implement the new Xenon Title Server features, including: a spectator mode for many Xenon games, Xbox TV - with tickers at the bottom of the screen featuring recent high scores and game highlights, a tournament system, and tradable trophies.

This feature looks similar to UT2004' s Unreal TV server, which allows large numbers of people to log on and watch ongoing games without the game server having to serve spectators as well as the game itself.

If it happens to be true, Xbox TV will help Microsoft take the lead in countries like South Korea, where TV stations and cable channels broadcast live games and tournaments. We' ll have more on Xbox 2 as it develops. Stay tuned.
