    http://majornelson.com/2014/07/18/next-xbox-one-update/

    "OneGuide in Brazil, Mexico, Austria and Ireland: Live TV listings can be configured for four new countries as part of this month’s Preview program. And now there is an OneGuide Issue Reporter available under the TV & OneGuide settings, Troubleshooting section."

    Robbed :/

    Pretty much everything did. But MS have said that things will only come from the preview program to the public release when they are ready.

    Maybe more work was needed for this feature in the new markets (and when it is released we will jump straight to having the mini OneGuide as well).

    wouldn't need to be listed again, as its already rolled out in the august preview :)

    was kinda expecting it to take a while before oneguide would be released fully.

    Has anyone tried the OneGuide in the beta with UPC? Just curious to hear how it works. We have UPC and never use the in-built guide to search for programmes (seriously slow). We always just click browse and then quickly scroll left or right to the desired channel - much faster than using the guide. I'm guessing the OneGuide would be quite a bit slower compared to using the basic browse feature that's built into UPC?

    with UPC horizon its quite the opposite.

    the built in guide is much quicker compared to the really slow process of click browsing and scrolling left and right. Its painstakingly slow....

    I thought it might be slow too but it's really fast.

    As in, how do you invite people once you're in?

    If so, you just go to the preview app and 1 of the tabs says Invite friends, you choose from your list of friends and then hit send invites. Takes days or weeks then (its random) for your friend to receive a message on their xbox from Microsoft saying they're in.

    done mate

    took me 24hrs till I received message via xbox, inviting me to the preview. just keep an eye out on your xbox for any new messages send. you will then be able to download the preview app from there... from there it may take another few days until you are enrolled.

    you can see that under the registration button in the preview app. all very straightforward



    btw i'm much happier now with Oneguide for UPC horizon. took a while to set up... I had to select "UPC Cablecom" as cablebox. for some reason there were three options. afterwards the Kinect is sending power commands. just had to repeat that step until it found the right frequency and turned the UPC box on.
    now I can quick browse much quicker and select TV. even pause, rewind, etc... works with it. it does send the signal to the UPC box perfectly.

    now just gotta hope the missus likes the new set up :D maybe if I turn the dashboard pink she will accept haha

    Cheers Mikil, I have the Xbox and UPC going through a receiver, ordered a HDMI splitter a while ago so that I can run the UPC to the receiver and the Xbox, idea being to keep both options open, I'd read you can't use the record functionality through the XBox, my misses uses 4OD on the Xbox any way, so shouldn't be a problem, she leaves me in charge of all the techy stuff anyway :)
