Fall dashboard preview....

where is the other thread gone? Search didn't find it

Anyway did anyone get an update there? Seems to have added "play to" functionality but I dont have an iPhone. Basically lets you stream to the xbox from what I gather.

@mods was the other thread closed or did the crappy search just fail again

Yeah noticed that gone too, I assumed it was removed due to the legalities of the NDA that users agreed to?

It will. Microsoft did say that that will make it available to access on most of your existing devices. Android Xbox live app seems to be lagging behind .

If I'm right should normal DLNA streaming apps just not work?

Whats the idea behind the Android integration? Is it solely to use as a remote control?

It can be used as a remote. Though the main function is to use it as a media extender. Look up smart glass on youtube. That's what their aiming for. If you seen the Wii U its like that mostly. Only you don't need extra hardware, were gonna be using the devices we already own

Got another update today, not sure whats new, the avatars on the friends section seems a hell of a lot quicker to load now and they made the number showing how many are on line bigger on the social tab.

We seem to have got access to the sales and specials app now too.

Registration open again http://t.co/CHUqYHsp

I noticed the thread I made mysteriously disappeared too.

Mr E

The thread was removed because people were openly discussing the update (which went against the NDA and could have got Boards in trouble).

How long does it take to get your console registration codes, so you can redeem on the console & get the beta dash? I've registered there but no link to the codes yet

Did you have to redeem a code to get the app? Or did it just appear as available to you?

theyre not up yet

To optimize registration for users, product keys for console registration will be available shortly. Once product keys are available, you will see the link for them on the left-hand side of this site. If you already have a Product Key, you can proceed with registering your console. Thanks for signing up!

Schorpio

You have to redeem a product key. "Redeem Product Key" or something along those lines appears as an option on the left hand side of the Microsoft Connect site when the key is available.

Codes are available now, I installed the app & ran it so just a matter of waiting now. When is the retail version of this dash due for release?

Anyone know if this will affect online play and the Sky app as it did previously?

This was one I was in about 2 years ago, I haven't been in one since. All good then since?

Seems to be working ok for me, was on it a few days ago!

Downloaded the pre-app and have to wait a couple of days and see what happens! I only signed up so I could use Internet Explorer on it.

LaVail

i must say i really like it! a few new ways of moving around the page to get use and the onscreen keys are huge to but if your using a keybord you wont need it and its just like win 8 but much more slick.

Yeah I recently posed the same question on this forum. If you transfer the profile to a usb stick, you ca then 'roam' with the profile & sign ito it on any xbox (you obviously ned the xbl password that goes with the account)

Cool! Will try that out later.

Thanks :-)
