no, not in preview program.

I've set it back to UK but you now no longer the TV listings in the one guide which is a pain

As I said I have mine set to UK so I can use the USB TV tuner and I can see listings in the one guide, if you have to set it to UK run the TV setup wizard (you might have to clear this in settings 1st) when it asks for a post code use Newry think its BT53 maybe, can't recall for sure.

The only thing is it doesn't list the programs for irish channels that way, but does list the channels themselves and I can voice switch to them.

Are you saying when you go to Settings > System > Location > Language & Location , you can't or don't have an option to set spoken language to English when location is set to ireland???? There are 2 language boxes there, the 1st box is text language on the console, 2nd is location and 3rd box is the one you need to set to English UK

thanks Mickeroo, wonder what is different.
friend of mine had to set his to UK also.

Mickeroo

Mine is set to Ireland and works fine.

I have mine set to UK for the TV tuner, but I used to have region set to ireland and voice to english UK , both settings are side by side there in the settings app.

Unless the preview program messing with it ? Are you in the preview dash program?

ciaran75

Hi,
Has anyone else noticed the Kinect voice no longer works if you have your region set to Ireland. If you switch back to UK everything is fine again.
Was on with xbox support and they had not heard there was an issue.
Cheers,
Ciaran

Can anyone recommend a good external HD? My internal one is already filled and I'm having to delete stuff already. Thinking that 2gb would be good but would depend on the price.

Good guide from Eurogamers digital foundry:

The Xbox One hard drive upgrade guide

And give the bandy one to your opponent

Or just keep it as a spare because the other one is liable to hit the wall if you play a lot of FIFA

I'm terrible when it comes to computer stuff. If I got one of these do I just connect it to the xbox and just continue like normal with the extra space being added to the xbox one hard drive space or would I have to do something to set it up?

Once you plug it into the Xbox a notification will pop on screen asking you to format it if you want to use o for games storage. Once you do that it will work as normal pretty much.

Got one of those a few months ago, does the job perfectly for me as I prefer to have it only use power when the xbox is in use.

MiskyBoyy, what do you do when you turn off your console? do you plug out the drive or does it go into sleep mode? I only ask because I need one myself and I like to leave the console in "quick start" mode if possible.

I just leave it plugged in the whole time. There's an option on Xbox> Settings>Power and Startup to "When Xbox if off, turn off storage" if you want the HDD to turn off when your xbox is off. That really only applies to 2.5" portable hard drives tho as they get their power from the xbox usb port. The ones listed above have their own separate plug to power them and go into sleep mode automatically when the disk hasn't been used in a few minutes.

There's only 1 kinect left in the whole country, in Cork.

They pop up fairly regularly. No point spending 100 yoyo if 30 will do it.

There cant be too many kinects left lying around at this stage i'd imagine?

You just have to check every few hours and one might pop up online

Got mine from them Tuesday from the site, only complaint was the delivery of the kinect

No box
No bubble wrap
Its was just wrapped in black cling film
Lucky enough the kinect was in perfect condition

MiskyBoyy

You get €45 hard cash in CeX for GTA V if you want to get i and sell it on.

maximoose

Could trade GTA in straight away so and save even more, proper bang for buck!

Although it does look like 2nd hand Kinects are short in supply now.

If I were you I'd get this deal from Argos

€399 for console and GTA V
Then get Assassin's Creed for €30 on gamedealdaily.com
Pick up second hand Kinect for ~€30.

Cheers, but I already cleared GTA V on the 360 last year. Not really interested in playing it again. Love the look of Halo and the Assassin Creed games.
