I think that won't be available for everyone until September update just some people in the preview have it now

twam2008

It was one of the things stated for August update? Media player etc were for September release.

-Toppy-

yeah Majornelson posted it back in July saying
http://majornelson.com/2014/07/18/next-xbox-one-update/

"OneGuide in Brazil, Mexico, Austria and Ireland: Live TV listings can be configured for four new countries as part of this month’s Preview program. And now there is an OneGuide Issue Reporter available under the TV & OneGuide settings, Troubleshooting section."

Ah, it does say Preview program, I missed that.

-Toppy-

I could be wrong but everything else made it from Julys preview into August release

-Toppy-

Xbox Support on Twitter confirmed its not in it

Pretty much everything did. But MS have said that things will only come from the preview program to the public release when they are ready.

Maybe more work was needed for this feature in the new markets (and when it is released we will jump straight to having the mini OneGuide as well).

What worries me about that is it not listed in the September preview

wouldn't need to be listed again, as its already rolled out in the august preview

was kinda expecting it to take a while before oneguide would be released fully.

Has anyone tried the OneGuide in the beta with UPC? Just curious to hear how it works. We have UPC and never use the in-built guide to search for programmes (seriously slow). We always just click browse and then quickly scroll left or right to the desired channel - much faster than using the guide. I'm guessing the OneGuide would be quite a bit slower compared to using the basic browse feature that's built into UPC?

hi guys, could i get an invite?

my xbox gamertag is, surprisingly, stevoslice...

with UPC horizon its quite the opposite.

the built in guide is much quicker compared to the really slow process of click browsing and scrolling left and right. Its painstakingly slow....

I thought it might be slow too but it's really fast.

Have you got the friends tab on the top now?

twam2008 wrote: »

As in, how do you invite people once you're in?

If so, you just go to the preview app and 1 of the tabs says Invite friends, you choose from your list of friends and then hit send invites. Takes days or weeks then (its random) for your friend to receive a message on their xbox from Microsoft saying they're in.

Nice one, is it straightforward from there? It's twam2008

done mate

took me 24hrs till I received message via xbox, inviting me to the preview. just keep an eye out on your xbox for any new messages send. you will then be able to download the preview app from there... from there it may take another few days until you are enrolled.

you can see that under the registration button in the preview app. all very straightforward



btw i'm much happier now with Oneguide for UPC horizon. took a while to set up... I had to select "UPC Cablecom" as cablebox. for some reason there were three options. afterwards the Kinect is sending power commands. just had to repeat that step until it found the right frequency and turned the UPC box on.
now I can quick browse much quicker and select TV. even pause, rewind, etc... works with it. it does send the signal to the UPC box perfectly.

now just gotta hope the missus likes the new set up maybe if I turn the dashboard pink she will accept haha

Cheers Mikil, I have the Xbox and UPC going through a receiver, ordered a HDMI splitter a while ago so that I can run the UPC to the receiver and the Xbox, idea being to keep both options open, I'd read you can't use the record functionality through the XBox, my misses uses 4OD on the Xbox any way, so shouldn't be a problem, she leaves me in charge of all the techy stuff anyway

Mikill87

yeah been looking at the splitter myself, let me know when you receive yours and how it works. read lot of different reviews, don't wanna end up buying the wrong one.

to record you still need to use the UPC remote. but the xbox one remote allows to pause, rewind, fast forward as well.

Hold on hold on....... Ha! Back up......

Horizon??? We got UPC last year-Digital, broadband, phone bundle for €50pm. Just Googled Horizon. It's all in one box now? Thought Horizon was the app.....

Will it all work with my current setup and do I need any extra cables/how do I set it up?

Jeez, I just read my above post.....I sound like an 80 year old pensioner.....or worse....my mother. I'm only 31!

Should do, just need to plug the HDMI from your Horizon box to your Xbox or TV and Bob's your uncle.

Does your UPC connect to your tv via hdmi or SCART? If hdmi and u just happen to have one of the older upc boxes I still think it should work. Like I said when u set up oneguide on the Xbox it allows you to select one of three different upc boxes

Well, with a name like Shuffles and not knowing about Horizon you may well be 80

I got Horizon a while after it came out and found the internet speeds dreadful compared to my modem so reverted back to a router and digital box. I'd imagine it's improved significantly since then.

Internet ain't super on the horizon now. Only 2.4ghz frequency, but not much worse than the router that were provided with the older broadband bundles. with the Xbox hooked up via cable it doesn't bother me anyway

Been spending a fair bit of time with OneGuide. From what I can tell it seems to get better at understanding commands once you go through each channel. It obviously takes a while but it now seems to work flawlessly once I enunciate. I get the wrong channel the odd time if I mutter(speak normally)

calex71

Got a message on xbox live over night about the media player, those in the preview who don't have it should check their messages.

Pretty cool that they can roll stuff out this way, like they did for EA access. No need to push out a system update etc. Just click on the message to download it.

Hi Misky,

The invite you sent me never came through, would you have another to send on?

I'm looking for it in my xbox inbox, is that where I should be looking?

Thanks,

So does the OneGuide work well with UPC Horizon TV? How's the voice control for switching channels?

Picking up an XB1 in October (Sunset Overdrive Bundle), and this would be a pretty big deal.

it works quite well, however I do notice juddering but that's because of the preview program. a lot of people in EU are experiencing issues with the 50Hz set up of the console since BUILD 1408 and 1409, hopefully that will be fixed soon. according to the preview program forum it has already been forwarded to the engineering team in MS

VOICE control works quite good too I have to say, but I think the Sunset Overdrive bundle doesn't come with Kinect or does it?

Same here. I've been on the xbox forums seeing if there's a fix. Will post
here if it's sorted.
