Just in case anyone is also experiencing this issue, it is apparently known.

It literally drove me crazy the past hour today (wish I Googled it first) and I have had to disconnect my cable box and run it straight to my receiver.

 

It is when you Watch TV through the One, you here a cracking (I believe it is called clipping) and mine was just incredibly annoying. Like every 2 seconds annoying. It was affecting basically all medium frequency sounds, so was primarily affecting my two front surround speakers.

 

Hope they fix it soon.

 

Link to thread with the issue for those who are in the preview program and can access those forums.

Yeah, I am also facing the same issue. As per their "issues" in the release notes they have fixed this and will release with the final version. This release is in the" known issues" section of preview dashboard

An 8.8 MB update has been released which removes the friend invite option from the registration app.

 

Closing this topic until it returns (if ever).

 

Edit: this is such a frickin' mess MS have created. If you have the Preview Dashboard app (not the Registration app), please confirm if you can still invite friends or not.

Can one leave this preview program if they want to? Is it as simple as just uninstalling the Preview App?

You have the option within the app to opt out of the program, and you can also set yourself back in the program, it appears.

Have not been able to confirm this for myself yet but a buddy of mine in an email said they actually removed the opt out and ability to invite people in the latest version of the Preview app. Will check it out when I get home unless someone can confirm it sooner than later (I just got to work, so a good 8-10 hours before I can check).

they haven't removed the ability to invite, or to opt out. I just checked in the preview dashboard app. they also released a fix yesterday that fixes the audio static issue for those who have it.

 

So you have the dashboard app with quests, submit feedback options etc, and you can invite?

 

Cause they've definitely removed the option from the registration app along with the opt out button. Happens regardless if you are on '08 or '09.

Not everyone has access to it. See my post on the last page about MS screwing up the process even more than it already was.

Yeah that's the dashboard app. Only a selection of testers have it (N)

Going to be even more upset if I am in that selection of testers that does not have it.

I want out of this program ASAP. Going to be the first thing I do when I get home.

Two updates in a row they messed up Watch TV for me.

If I lived on my own would not be a big deal.

If my mother did not come by my house everyday to let my dog out, it would not be a big deal.

But others rely on turning on the TV and it working in my household besides me, so I just want a stable easy experience.

If i can opt out I will.

If they fixed the audio cracking I may consider going back, but now I have to set up everything again as I had to reset it cause the One was still turning everything on and off even though I was not using it for TV, so probably just going to stick to it as I have it now.

weird, didn't know not everyone has it. I don't think ive ran into anyone on my friends list who I've invited who doesn't have it.

 

It's all over the forums, so definitely not a one off. Have a friend on '09 who only has the registration app too so not related to dash build.

 

Sooner we're all pushed to 09 now 08 is public, the better.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • Apple unveils Siri AI, a "reimagined" version of SIri

      By excalpius · Posted

      Clearly that feature isn't for us. It's for the ad spam marketers so they can more directly target us about going to places we might want to go again...but without understanding context clues. Like for the flight someone took for a friend's funeral. We want to be reminded of that every time we open an app, a browser, or email, right? Right, Siri?
    • Is your Apple Watch supported? Check the watchOS 27 compatibility list

      By Aditya Tiwari · Posted

      Is your Apple Watch supported? Check the watchOS 27 compatibility list by Aditya Tiwari Apple kicked off WWDC 2026 with a ton of announcements, mostly centered around Apple Intelligence improvements, the Siri AI, and Liquid Glass updates. However, there is a lot of other stuff that couldn't catch the limelight. Let's talk about watchOS 27 and which models are supported by the newest operating system. According to the Cupertino giant, watchOS 27 will be supported on the following Apple Watch models when it arrives later this year: Apple Watch Ultra 3 Apple Watch Series 11 Apple Watch SE 3 Apple Watch Series 10 Apple Watch Ultra 2 It's a stark contrast with last year's watchOS 26 update, which had almost a dozen Apple Watch models in its list of supported devices. Apple supported models all the way back to Apple Watch Series 6. That said, if you own one of the five models, you'll need an iPhone 11 (or later) with iOS 27 to install the latest update. Yes, Apple has shown some extra love to the iPhone 11, and it old horse supports the iOS 27 update. watchOS 27 beta 1 is now available for developers and interested power users through the Apple Developer Program. So, if you're among those who like to play with fire, you can download it to your supported Apple Watch. Otherwise, the public beta for watchOS 27 will be available next month. The freshly baked Apple Watch update comes with Siri AI - an advanced, fully conversational version of Siri powered by Apple Intelligence due for later this year. A new dynamic app grid features icons for five Siri-suggested apps. You can use a new tap gesture to open a widget in the Smart Stack, and a new Find My app finally clears the mess of Find Devices, Find Items, and Find People on Apple Watch. Workout Buddy can run without an iPhone nearby and offers new insights based on data, including your progress for pace, distance, and workout duration. Apple improved its motion tracking algorithms to measure the distance of indoor treadmill runs and walks more precisely. Speaking of other changes, the music playback on watchOS 27 starts faster and you can create custom passes for any membership or card that uses a QR code or barcode, then easily access them in the Wallet app or pin in the Smart Stack.

    • Apple unveils Siri AI, a "reimagined" version of SIri

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      Apple unveils Siri AI, a "reimagined" version of SIri by David Uzondu Image via Apple Today, at the opening keynote of Apple's annual World Wide Developers Conference (WWDC), the company announced Siri AI, a "reimagined version" of its voice assistant that runs on Apple Intelligence. Siri AI helps you do things like draft messages, edit photos, and pull old flight details from your email during back-and-forth conversations. You can access Siri AI through several methods, depending on the device. While "Hey Siri" remains active, iPhone users can also press the side button, swipe down from the Dynamic Island, or use a system-wide context menu on Mac to analyze on-screen text. Image via Apple If you ever need to go back and check previous interactions, you can open the dedicated Siri app to view your entire conversation history. This application privately syncs your data using iCloud, leveraging local Foundational Models alongside Apple's secure Private Cloud Compute servers to keep user data inaccessible to outsiders. On the iPhone, Apple built the assistant into the Camera app, bringing Visual Intelligence to help you split bills or count calories. This feature also expands to the iPad and Mac, letting users use screenshots or shortcuts to analyze images, while Apple Vision Pro users can ask questions about objects in their physical room. Other things to know about Siri AI include systemwide dictation that automatically handles punctuation and formatting, customizable voice speeds, and a spatial 3D interface built for Apple Vision Pro. Apple also added Smart Stack suggestions on the Apple Watch to help you continue recent conversations directly from your wrist. The road to Siri AI was quite bumpy for Apple, which initially promised these capabilities at WWDC 2024 when the Cupertino tech giant debuted Apple Intelligence. Apple later turned to Google, signing a $1 billion annual deal to use Gemini models instead of relying solely on its own in-house systems. However, this deal came only after consumers sued Apple because features Apple promised "did not exist at the time, do not exist now, and will not exist for two or more years." Siri AI is available for developer testing on iOS 27, iPadOS 27, macOS 27, and visionOS 27.

      Real shame the 16 GB versions are crazy more expensive than this.
