It's quite nice... TV isn't live yet, and I don't think it's as nice as the previous dashboard... it looks like it renders in 720p, whereas I'm sure the previous rendered in 1080p. It certainly looks a tad blurrier >.<

It was certainly easier to explore a lot more without digging deeper into options in the last dashboard. I'm sure they could have gotten that one to work with Kinect too .__.

Played with it for about 15 minutes. Looks good. I haven't used the ESPN app in a while, but the new one is pretty nice, as well as the Zune app. I'm more curious about the TV apps though.

whoa...native MKV support!!! let me repeat that, native EM.KAY.VEEEE!!!!!!!!!!

MKV with H.264/AC3 plays just nicely!

Not true. Doesn't recognize mkv files on a flash drive still. If you are streaming from Windows Media Center, your PC is still doing the decoding.

Aww. Hopes got up for nothing :( WMC is so slow on my 360 playing content from my network drive (also have to remove/add the computer else WMC locks up when I return to it alter). I just use the HDMI from my PC because it's so much trouble.

    • AV2, successor to popular YouTube, Netflix, Amazon codec AV1, has a hard battle ahead

      By Nas · Posted

      Absolutely NOBODY has suggested such a conclusion. I am affirming the sober reality check that AV2's overall market adoption will take longer than AV1's adoption rate -- which, by the way, is the whole point of the article! While PCI-SIG is productive (on paper), other WGs have created all sorts of confusing progress plans that consumers have tuned-out of their improvements... HTML/W3C, USB, HDMI, BT, WIFI (ieee802.11) as a few other groups where spec naming conventions, split progress paths, overlapping ambitions... I'm not critiquing the AV specs group; I'm simply affirming that adoption for AV2 faces headwinds beyond the macroeconomics of it all.

      No thanks! WebView trash is unacceptable. I only use software that's native.
