Are there on demand songs in GHTV that never come up during rotation on either of the channels? For example I have never seen on my of favorite songs, More Than a Feeling by Boston, come up. That would be a huge bummer if true but maybe I just haven't been lucky. Meanwhile there are some indie songs I've see 3 or 4 times.
I had that song yesterday!
I just played more than a feeling, so no. just luck I guess
also, my wrist, my fingers, my shoulder is killing me

OK that's good to know, thanks.I just played more than a feeling, so no. just luck I guess

I feel you, Rhaknar. My left hand feels like a wizened up claw after long sessions. My fingers actually hurt.
I was half serious. Like Im 36, when I played GH for reals last time was back during GH3/RB1 days, when was that? 07? so 8-9 years ago, when I was under 30. It makes a difference man lol
edit: also the live scoreboard is genious, I just actually screamed FUCK when someone took over first place right at the end of a song just now lol. And im not even that competitive

Hmm that didn't happen to me. Sorry to say I think your best bet is restarting the game.
I tried restarting the game and the console. Both didn't help. Turning it off and on again is btw the official solution for this error code. So much for that.
My theory right now is that I'm stuck at this point because of reasons. Maybe resetting the online mode (or my profile for it) help. But I have no idea if that is even possible.
Initial impressions after playing about 4 sets so far. Loving it.
The new layout adds some much needed freshness to the playstyle, it's gonna take some getting used to the new chords and stuff. After the initial set I ramped straight up to Expert to have a pop, fuck me that was insanely hard. Knocked back down to advanced for now but I've generally flown through that so I do have slight concerns at the difficulty curve between the top 2...
Also the production quality is fucking amazing. My housemate was watching as I played the first set and he absolutely loved the crowd and band reactions and stuff. Great effort.

Delete the game data entirely and reinstall to the hard drive. See if that helps.
Yep, more channels and more songs. More videos for the Premium Channel too.

It is not the guitar. It is the receiver. The Xbox One has 3 USB ports. 2 in the back one on the side. When we received our 2 Pack, we first tested one guitar and used one of the back USB ports. Due to distance and that it is in the back of the unit, the range of the transmission was not strong enough. We experienced the exact issue you are stating, but we then moved the USB to the side port and never had an issue again.
So what I did is buy a 3 port USB 3.0 hub, hooked that into the back port, and have the hub upfront next to the console. We have been playing fine for the last 2 days without any issues.
To ensure, the guitar you are having issues with, move the USB to the side port and test it, I am sure you will find that is the issue.

Anyone else feel like playing on Channels in GHTV has more latency/input issues than when you just play an on-demand song? I feel like I drop way more notes that I feel like I'm hitting when I'm on GHTV Channels.
Nope not for me.
Also the calibration seems to work this way:
To the right = video comes slightly before the sound
To the left = sound comes slightly before the video.
Just let someone play or see what happens to the notes when you strum.
Do they tend to fly trough the strumming point? --> go to the right.

I decided to pick this up at costco (10 bucks cheaper, yay).
As an old GH/RB head, this has been super frustrating at first, haha.
I have so much built up muscle memory from how my hands used to move. I think its gonna take me a while to even get really good on regular. I tried some expert tracks and my mind exploded, and i played expert on the old games! Lol.
Getting my mind to go with the flow and my fat fingers to cooperate is gonna be a journey. I find myswlf hitting the some position double notes on accident alot. And the 1/2 black/white combos? Get outta here!
Its fun so far though. I do plan to pick up RB4 in the future, so i wonder how i will handle going back and forth.
Concerning the guitar. The strum bar resistance doesn't feel as good to me as the previous guitars. And the buttons are a tad mushy. Imo.

Sound is really low for me too on 5.1 setup. Restarted PS4 per instructions below and doesn't seem to help.
Also is anyone able to wakeup their ps4 with the guitar?? I can't.

Are the programming blocks on GHTV always the same? I haven't played it too much, but I played a full Rock Workout block a few night ago and then 18 hours later Rock Workout came up again and it was the exact same songs in the exact same order.

No you have to use a regular controller to wake it up.

Subete no aware
That's what I assumed it would be like.
I wonder if someone has put up a "TV Guide" type schedule so you know when the block you want is coming up.

I am using a USB 3.0 hub, heh. But I did figure it out. What I did this afternoon was pair the second USB dongle to the first guitar (the one I thought might be broken) and I've been playing off-and-on all day without issue. When I pair either guitar to the first USB dongle I have major issues. Seems I need to RMA the one dongle and not the guitar.
Been playing this the last few days, I love it. I usually get around mid 90s% on Advance, but way less on Expert. It's strange having to relearn Guitar Hero, after spending so long getting good at the previous games.
Unfortunately GHTV seems to be very unfriendly to those with an internet cap. No options to turn down video quality? It's not like I can focus on it anyway. I get 60gb a month of fast internet (with another 60gb 2-8am), I could use that all in a day playing this game online.
Also it seems the leaderboards aren't console cross compatible, I don't like this.

Central european time change just broke the GHTV servers I think. Was thrown out and can't reconnect 
I returned my first because the strum was stuck.. second one that seems fine but my #1 button sticks .. ugh

If I got 100% on a song in GHTV, and got beaten by two people, is there any way to figure out why or how? They didn't get 100%.
Edit: just happened again. I have one upgrade in each slot for the guitar and am using the bomb power up.

What do you lose points by using it? I thought when you use the bomb you got all the points for that section.

I just got another 100% and came in 5th.

I'm not positive on this, but does playing on a higher difficulty give you the potential for more points? If so, they could be outscoring you that way.
Neuromancer

I thought of that, but that'd be pretty dumb to match people playing different difficulties, wouldn't it?
Not really, it's an incentive to try to get better and move up. As if getting 100% wasn't already.

That sucks. I'm not saying I get 100% every time, just every once in a while. If I bump up I'll be at the bottom of the pack.
I'm fairly positive it just throws literally whoever into a game.
I've gotten a solid 96% on advanced and I've seen people blow me out of the water while
Only hitting ~85% of the notes.

Hmm ok. Well that's really strange then because tonight is the first time I've seen this happen, and also, you'd think it would show you at the end what difficulty people are playing on so you at least had some idea why you were getting beaten.
Picked this up after hearing the decent buzz going around. Wasn't really all hyped by the setlist but man I am having a good time. Needs more metal...(as I play and enjoy One Republic lol)
And yeah I get 100% all the time on normal and still get 4th place. Gotta be the difficulty.
Also GHTV is surprisingly awesome. A great way to hear new stuff I would never have an outlet to. Can't wait fir the updates and new songs.

Yep. Doesn't matter the % of notes you hit, but the final score. The higher the difficulty, the more notes, the higher the score.
I think it also shows the highway of the winner right next to the chart, so you can see the difficulty the player was...well, playing.
I always play on casual (well, for now) and usually end in the 5th..or 6th position even with 100%, simply because the score of the 1st is sometimes twice of mine.
Even in the Premium Events, hitting 100% on casual barely puts you in 3rd, and that's against the CPU (and nice touch naming them based on characters for the original GH...Lars, Midori, etc.).

Does it? I thought that only showed you how upgraded their guitar is.
