Can someone with a receiver check to see if they enabled pass through mode?  I swore the other day I got home from work and my receiver was off but my TV was still getting the signal from the xbox (im at work and forgot to try it again before I left)

I'm a DISH customer, and I always use the TV app to watch TV and guide.  Would I get any benefit out of the Oneguide on Xbox One?  Does anyone use Dish or DirectTV, and use the oneguide instead?  What are your thoughts?

The only thing I found very useful was the ease of setting up favorite channels, I only watch a handful of channels to its nice to show favorites only and browse that way.  I had a similar feature with Fios and cablevision but this was very easy to do.

I have same number  as yours but not sure what your number in the brackets after that your mentioned number.

 

The warning is still up there.

 

Crap, forgot that :blushing: ...does it matter? Will post it later...it does say something about XB and FR, though i don't use French if that's what it stands for. Will post it later for your reference. I have the Xbox logo where the Kinect alert was, maybe it has to do with the fact that mine was already dead when the update arrived? So when the OS rebooted and the firmware updated it didn't even look for a Kinect. Yours i'm assuming you plug and unplug at will, it still works?

About the Fre part: Read the info here.

 

The number in the brackets is the date that they release the update/build.

 

The kinect is still plugged in my Xbox. If I unplug it, the warning notification shows on the screen where the Xbox Logo is at. That I don't like it, I want that off. And I want the kinect stay unplugged but I can't because the notification still shows up there.

 

I wish MS to hurry up and release the update for the 'Unplugged kinect' notification removal.

Thanks for the info, good to know it means free/bundled and not French :rofl:

Will post the bracketed numbers later, though i suspect ours are the same. My hunch tells me it's due to the state of our Kinects...maybe it's a glitch? It's annoying to have that alert on the screen, i know how you feel, but they did patch it. Possibly only for people that didn't have their Kinects active at the time of the update :s

Same.

 

Thanks.

 

Hopefully the next update will fix it.. Who knows.

 

Sure thing, and figured it would be the same. I'm telling you it's because my Kinect was already inactive at the time of the update, so somehow the firmware considers my console a bare version, with no bundled Kinect. Your sensor was active at the time of the update. This is the only explanation i can think of that makes sense to me, as the build is the same going on the numbers.

MS posted a little preview of what is coming for the July update:

http://news.xbox.com/2014/06/xbox-one-july-update-preview

Definitely more cool features coming next month. Its also the start of seeing features that had required voice commands now getting controller shortcuts (i.e. being able to snap the 'snap center' simply by double tapping the xbox logo)

    • Xbox Insiders get Xbox 360 achievements and Gamertag character upgrades

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Xbox Insiders get Xbox 360 achievements and Gamertag character upgrades by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft is continuing its fast-paced update schedule for Xbox Insiders. Today, the company announced a new slate of features it is rolling out to Xbox Insiders in the Alpha Skip-Ahead ring, which includes an expansion to the gamertag system, Xbox 360 achievements, and more. The unique Gamertag that Xbox users can choose for their profile is getting more characters. Instead of the 12-character limit, Insiders will now be able to get a Gamertag that's 15 characters long. The 12-character limit will still apply to Gamertags that are not unique or contain any non-Latin characters. Meanwhile, Microsoft is adding Xbox 360 game support to its Game Hubs. Selecting an installed Xbox 360 game on a modern Xbox console will now show achievement progress, captures, and other information. Achievement pop-ups are back for these classics too, which should be good news for achievement hunters. The next change is for Xbox players who can't wait to jump into their games when an update is required. "If a game requires an update and is available to stream through your Game Pass membership, you can start playing immediately with cloud gaming while the update downloads in the background," explains Microsoft. The final change of this Insider update is once again to the game cards. Insiders will find that all games, both released and upcoming, will now have a simple button to add to their profile's wishlist, making the process much easier from a single place. This Xbox update is rolling out today to Insiders in the Alpha Skip-Ahead ring. As usual, Microsoft aims to bring it to more Insiders over time before they reach all Xbox owners. Head here to find out how to join the Xbox Insider Program to get a chance to test these features and upcoming ones on both consoles and PC.
