Xbox one thread

[Doombrain]

Lol, can anyone just wonder in and tell it to switch?

[MKJ]

yup, as seen in the video that accompanies the article.
obviously you can turn voice commands off but I suppose that's akin to unplugging your mouse on your windows pc.

[Doombrain]

Lol. I wonder if it would pickup the command from a speakerphone.

[scared?]

Lol pathetic baby's toy...

[Doombrain]

Well it's all set. I've opted to run on normal power mode and not to run TiVo through it. Seems wasteful to have to turn on the xbox just to watch tv.

[GONNAFISTYA]

Yeah...but...if you don't watch tv through it, you won't get the achievements for watching tv through it.

[shaft]

ok. the cable box integration combined with kinect voice is awesome.

[plained]

yea they have almost everything covered ey

how will it report back when u piss and shit tho

seems like there still may be weakness in it

[scared?]

I bet the cable box integration is shit...

[shaft]

being able to say..."xbox on" and having everything power up (tv, cablebox) and then say "watch hbo" or "whats on tbs" along with play, pause, record etc..basically total voice control..is awesome.

[Tsakali]

that sounds pretty cool.
Too bad I haven't had interest at any games for over a year and don't watch television.

[scared?]

So how does that work when you have 15 HBO channels?...

[losCHUNK]

And what happens if you just wanna channel flick ?

[Tsakali]

your x-box reports back home and you get added to some fed list .

idk, try saying the name of the hbo channel?

[MKJ]

Yes. I think you can even say the name of a program.
Dont say xbox on when your tv is already turned on tho, itll turn the tv off.

[Doombrain]

I'm am being thick, or is there no way to stream from my NAS?

On the tv thing, we don't have support yet for dvr/stb so I'll revisit when there is.

[MKJ]

it still supports DLNA they said (after sony revealed the ps4 doesnt), so I guess it's somewhere.
they buried it in the latest 360 dash update so you might have to poke around for it?

edit: oh lol

The Xbox One will let you stream content to the console using DLNA, although on day one there's no native support to initiate those streams, so the console acts as a receiver only.

So instead of using your XB1 to select content from your NAS or laptop, you have to tell your laptop or NAS to start sending.
handy that.

[Doombrain]

Bugger

[bitWISE]

Doombrain, I hear this might be good for the Xbox one until they refine the dash

Trying tv through again.

But pissed its not pass through, I.e. You can't turn the xbox off, you must have it on.

Shaft, have you noticed any lag/staggering/juddering on HD channels?

[Doombrain]

Oh lol. 7/5.1 isn't passed through to the xbox one from your stb. Great.

I notice there's a beta option for surround.

Edit: that works. Slight delay sorted out by a/v settings on the receiver.
However the power on command doesn't send for long enough to turn the tv back on.

[MKJ]

it also doesnt pass in lowpower mode? or standby or whatever it's called.

[Doombrain]

Nope. When you say xbox off, pass thought stops. Rubbish.

I've also noticed the power brick runs in off mode. Mine has a slight ticking sound from the fan.

Unless the stb support turns it around, do not want.
