Anybody using the one guide for tv? I have a Manhattan Plaza Freesat box and I cannot for the life of me get it to work with the one guide.

Yes. With a sky box last year. Virgin TiVo box at the moment. What's not working for you?

Used it briefly with my sky box, then switched back to using them separately as the xbox wasn't able to control my soundbar and the fact i needed to use the sky remote anyway to access any recordings seemed to eliminate any convenience of the xbox as an overall media centre.

But in terms of set up to control the sky box itself it was a 2 minute job really.

If it's compatable with your box, and it should tell you if it is, you might need an infrared blaster.
Mine worked with a Sky HD box but it made the picture all grainy and the fact I had to switch on the Xbox every time I wanted to watch tv made me quickly disconnect it.
Now I have it connected to my horizon box(I get free tv from virgin because they have equipment on my house) which I only used for a modem before but I can't get it to change the channel so it's not much use either, I think I might need an Infrared blaster to get it to work with it.

Edit: sorry I misread I think. You can't get the Xbox to get the tv listing up in the one guide? If so I'm no help to you:-)

ibFoxer · 23-08-2016 12:57PM

I'm probably not explaining myself right- when i plug in the freesat box, i can see the channels, change the channel, etc, but the actual EPG doesn't have the correct listings, there's no option for 28.2 unless via sky etc.

If i switch my region to UK i can get the correct EPG no problems.

the witness has been announced for a September release on Xbox one. Jonathon blow just mentioned it on twitter

Gizmo55 · 24-08-2016 05:40PM

My Xbox keeps saying, 'For this game, you need to be online' even though I am.
Plus the volume output is about half what it was. I've done a hard reset and checked everything but don't see anything different. Am I missing something obvious? Cheers for any help.

Edit: Games are working grand now, still have the volume issue though.

Is the volume through a headset or the TV?

Through headphones.

Aren't headphones controlled through the guide? Bring up the guide, the volume should be in there somewhere.

Yeah, I've looked through it and reset everything and messed around with levels, and my tv settings too. I hung my tv on the wall today and since then the volume's been weird. I'll go through it again tomorrow. Cheers though.

It's a free play for this weekend, much like Rainbow 6 and Halo 5 were. Great game.

was wondering the same myself last night!

TheYardStick · 26-08-2016 03:53PM

Has anybody ever tried PowerA controllers? They have a new version with similar features to an Elite for €63 in Argos and I went about buying it the other day but was told they couldn't sell it to me for whatever reason. I got on to them by email, gave them a spiel about being disappointed and they offered me €20 off so I'll take a punt at that price.

Any experiences good or bad with PowerA controllers, or even other 3rd party stuff?
