    What, they've finally added it to the Irish dash?

    Ah right ok. Mines set to U.S the whole time but when you said it thought they've finally added it to Irish one.

    Don't see why they can't add it to all the markets.

    Probably a bit behind, as I just got the pubic April update, but I love the extra detail in the Achievement toasts.

    The font is a little small, but it saves having to snap the achievement app when you get an achievement.

    yup, that was a much needed addition given how fuggin long it can take to open the achievements app.

    The Xbox 360 preview update is out (or will be soon), with support for 2TB external drives. See here.

    So, quick straw poll, should we have a separate thread for 360 updates, or just keep this one?

    I'd be the same. I'd guess a lot of us still have a 360 aswell as a One so no harm having both.

    Yeah, I feel the same way, so I'm just going to add 360 into the thread title.

    New update is on preview for Xbox One, but don't get too excited, it's a bugfix update. Larger update coming later this month.

    The TV tuner is up and running on the Irish region for preview members, I tried it last night works pretty well!

    How does the tuner work ? Do you need a dish or Ariel ?

    After you purchase the TV tuner, you need a regular TV aerial with RF coaxial connector like this:

    You plug the tv tuner into xb1 via usb port and plug your aerial connector into the TV tuner.

    Really, including pause and rewind? Unexpected but good news.

    Interestingly, there's a new toggle in the Preferences section of the settings. It's "Allow game streaming to other devices (beta)", which implies that the Windows 10 functionality might be coming this month.

    It would never happen but how great would it be to replace a UPC set top box with the Xbox

    I've can't quite understand how UPC so consistently get it wrong with their boxes, they're terrible in all senses.

    Cost saving measures, cheap boxes with poor software. I'd guess that if they spent a bit more on their hardware, they'd save so much in support & call centre costs too. Cant wait for the day I can get a standalone sports subscription

    if it wasn't too pricey I would recommend moving over to Now TV (Sky Sports pass)
    http://www.nowtv.com/sports

    the xbox one has an app (worked in Ireland for me) which allows you to view Sky sports if you buy a pass.

    I think it's limited to 30 minutes on the pause rewind side. I have a cheap indoor aerial thrown at the back of the TV and it works pretty well in the Dublin area. One problem is supply seems to be sold out in most of the Argos stores ( I took a round trip to the Argos store in Tullamore to buy one) although Amazon seem to have stock.

    Just so everyone knows, this has been confirmed to be coming this month. Looking forward to it, even if I won't have much utility for it for ages.

    The Xbox app on my Windows 10 laptop hasn't been launchable in a week or 2. Same for you or anyone else?

    It is not like the old days. You don't have to find the sweet spot. It is a digital signal. You either get it or you don't.
    So there is no need to buy expensive aerials. The oul rabbits ears will work perfectly. Assuming you are in range.:)

    No, it's fine for me, but the Store app screwed up on the last build.

    My go-to for fixing any Windows Apps problems is here.

    Works OK for me - App launches and can connect to Xbox One.
    Which Windows 10 build do you have installed? I'm on 10049.
