    Is it just me or is the search in the dashboard marketplace completely broken?

    Because you need xbox live to play it I guess, the xbox one simply wont let it launch right now.

    That's the first thing I tried, the second was to check here: http://support.xbox.com/en-IE/xbox-live-status

    xBox live is down, nothing I can do about it on my end.

    Yes, but you shouldn't need live to play that game.

    maybe you do - games with gold on xbox one is only available as long as you have an active subscription to live. Unlike on 360 where they're yours forever.

    As said, it is a "games with gold" game, MS changed how "games with gold" works a few months ago, so you can only play the games (post changing of terms games) if you have an up to date live sub...which means, if I cannot sign into live, the xbox one can't validate my live a/c and I can't play that game.

    I think they changed it for the 360 too sadly

    Call of Duty Advanced Warfare won't launch for me neither with the Xbox Live being down. I bought it digitally.

    Interestingly tho Forza Horizon 2 will launch & work fine and that's technically my friends game with my xbox being set as his 'home' xbox.

    Unfortunately, that's down to the Game Sharing.

    You are technically a guest on the console in your house (It's your friend's Home Xbox), and would need to be able to sign in to Live to play any digital games you bought with your Gamertag to ensure that you have rights to play it.

    (When you buy digitally you essentially get a licence for your home console, where anyone can play it even if there's no internet. You get a second licence for your gamer tag, that means you can play it on any console once you are signed in to live

    This is similar to Xbox Live Arcade on 360)

    Forza 2 was bought by your mate, so his 'home Xbox' licence is on your console, which is why you can play it.

    If you were to talk to him, the situation would be reversed (No Forza for him).

    Yeah, when live is down or there's no internet connection you can only play a digital game on your home console, for example I have my brothers xbox set as my home console so I can't play any of my games when it is down. They need to confirm that your profile has the right to play the game on any other console except your home one and that can only be done through live.

    Lads I'm new to the XB1. Have it all set up and and popped the Forza H2 disc in. Two hours later it's at 4% installed :-0
    I rebooted and it's still not doing anything.
    Is this normal? Or am I doing something wrong

    Disconnect from the internet, it's probably trying to install updates as well as the disc content

    Best double check if those TV's have wifi built in or not , as the dongles are very pricey at around 50euro, best thing about samsung TV's is that they have their own plex client app for free on the app store !!!!

    The TV has been A1 for me, sound is great but i pretty much use headphones all the time when playing.Im down in Kerry so there's no freeview just the normal built in saorview for me.Its my first full HD tv so it was a big step up in terms of visuals when i first started using it.

    Go to Friends and at the top of the list of names there's a box that says 'change view'.
