Xbox One/360 Dashboard & Update Discussion (Retail/Beta/Preview Versions)

Mikill87

yeah been looking at the splitter myself, let me know when you receive yours and how it works. read lot of different reviews, don't wanna end up buying the wrong one.

to record you still need to use the UPC remote. but the xbox one remote allows to pause, rewind, fast forward as well.

Hold on hold on....... Ha! Back up......

Horizon??? We got UPC last year-Digital, broadband, phone bundle for €50pm. Just Googled Horizon. It's all in one box now? Thought Horizon was the app.....

Will it all work with my current setup and do I need any extra cables/how do I set it up?

Jeez, I just read my above post.....I sound like an 80 year old pensioner.....or worse....my mother. I'm only 31!

Should do, just need to plug the HDMI from your Horizon box to your Xbox or TV and Bob's your uncle.

Does your UPC connect to your tv via hdmi or SCART? If hdmi and u just happen to have one of the older upc boxes I still think it should work. Like I said when u set up oneguide on the Xbox it allows you to select one of three different upc boxes

Well, with a name like Shuffles and not knowing about Horizon you may well be 80

I got Horizon a while after it came out and found the internet speeds dreadful compared to my modem so reverted back to a router and digital box. I'd imagine it's improved significantly since then.

Internet ain't super on the horizon now. Only 2.4ghz frequency, but not much worse than the router that were provided with the older broadband bundles. with the Xbox hooked up via cable it doesn't bother me anyway

Been spending a fair bit of time with OneGuide. From what I can tell it seems to get better at understanding commands once you go through each channel. It obviously takes a while but it now seems to work flawlessly once I enunciate. I get the wrong channel the odd time if I mutter(speak normally)

Got a message on xbox live over night about the media player, those in the preview who don't have it should check their messages.

Pretty cool that they can roll stuff out this way, like they did for EA access. No need to push out a system update etc. Just click on the message to download it.

It's alright, this is the right thread for asking for an invite

Hi Misky,

The invite you sent me never came through, would you have another to send on?

I'm looking for it in my xbox inbox, is that where I should be looking?

Thanks,

Ken

Done, good luck.

So does the OneGuide work well with UPC Horizon TV? How's the voice control for switching channels?

Picking up an XB1 in October (Sunset Overdrive Bundle), and this would be a pretty big deal.

it works quite well, however I do notice juddering but that's because of the preview program. a lot of people in EU are experiencing issues with the 50Hz set up of the console since BUILD 1408 and 1409, hopefully that will be fixed soon. according to the preview program forum it has already been forwarded to the engineering team in MS

VOICE control works quite good too I have to say, but I think the Sunset Overdrive bundle doesn't come with Kinect or does it?

here if it's sorted.

For anyone with a digital UPC box and unsure of the make mine is a Cisco 8685DVB. I'd imagine they're all the same.

It doesn't, but I can just grab one used for quite cheap.

Downloaded it earlier. Didn't see anything new, no friends tab or achievement leaderboard yet Didn't go into quests tho to see what it had to say for itself!

I think I find the dashboard a bit more responsive when scrolling through it.
Nothing under announcements under the preview app. Under quests new trial fast switching:- Quickly change between AAA game titles multiple times.
Not sure if that was up there before the latest update, obviously checking to see if any slowdown or freezing occurs.
