I think you have to do it through the TV settings on the Xbox.

The snap window is not resizable. It is only that tiny TV Box or you have to go full screen.
+++++
Snap window is cool but they really forgot enabling an important application to be snapped: Messages. I don't know why they did not implement this. It would be much more convenient if you could read incoming messaged in the snap window while playing a game or watching tv / bluray.
did you sync your Xbox to control your TV, like volume and power? It's an option in settings.

So I guess Microsoft thinks download progress bars aren't next gen? Fuck you Microsoft.
Disk based game? It is downloading the update for it before installing. If you first put in Forza it will download a 6gb day one update. DR3 is something like 650mb etc.

Yah disc based. And that's a goddamn awful update mechanic.

Once you have set up your TV stuff. Go to settings > TV & OneGuide > Power Settings and then you will see a box for turn off TV which you need to check.
Found the volume problem - if you enter a party, in-game audio gets severely dampened, even if you don't have a mic hooked up.
Anyone know a fix for this? I can't find anything in the settings menu, and hitting either options button in party chat does nothing, nor are there any volume settings in-game or in the party menu that affect it.
edit: Oh for fucks sake
"The volume of the two snapped activities, however, is a 50/50 split, meaning you'll hear a little bit of your game, and a little bit of whatever else is playing. You can't opt to just listen to one thing. A Microsoft representative who demo-ed the system for me said this was “on the to-do list.”"

Shitty phone first impressions from a guy who buys too much stuff (aka owns a ps4)
Holy shit the box is heavy and huge. Kinect is enormous. Cables are thick and stupid. System is much larger than I anticipated. It's ridiculous and yet I love it. Controller is weird in a good way. Triggers are firm but soft? Amazing. Boot screen needs ripples because I keep thinking the system is locked - wtf boot times.
Day one edition happy to report drive seems healthy. System seems quiet thus far.
Digging it.

This is like the first time some people are seeing framerates above 30 fps, it's adorable :lol
Some guy in my chemistry lab was telling me
"Dude, my friend got an Xbox One last night. I was playing Battlefield and Call of Duty. OMG! Everything just like....looks so much smoother....moves so much more fluid than before....feels really smooth and the controller was just tighter and more sensitive. Everything looked sharper"
It made me realize how many of these poor trapped console gamers are used to sub-HD resolution and screen-tearing and sub-30fps framerates. How amazing it must be for them to experience games at PC quality now lol

well... Updates before never allowed you to use the system even though they were generally small (during the update process)
so I still consider it a win despite the inconvenience

I did. My Xbox can turn my TV on. I mean, I want to turn my TV off automatically when my Xbox powers itself off. I don't want to say "Xbox turn TV off" and then turn the Xbox off.
Yeah, disc based. That's stupid they don't tell you what they're downloading. Thought my stuff was broken.
I'm pretty impressed by the actual quality of the upload studio stuff. I have a test of it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t-prMnu18h4
Of course this has added youtube compression, but hey.

Here is a clip I just made using the Upload Studio from Forza Motorsport 5. Easy to do... the hardest part was remembering to say "Xbox... record that!"
Anyways, here it is.

System itself is great. but integrating it with Live TV into my HTPC setup has been painful thus far. my HTPC seems to have resolution and/or handshake issues where every time i come back from standby media center is showing the show in a smaller window. closing media center and re-launching it while watching liveTV through xbox solves it...and my Harmony is having a small fit over what device is in control, loses track of everything if i let the xbox itself turn on/off the TV and AVR. That said, the xbox controls those components FLAWLESSLY thus far, which was suprising. setup is very hodge podge.
Might end up having to abandon the LiveTV until it matures a bit with remotes. thus far not wife approved. she just scowled as i was working on it.
It is either that or go back to cableco DVR.

wow; I just got a chance to try Forza. I'm not the biggest Forza fan, the last one I bought was 2 or 3 but damn. That intro, those impulse triggers (wish they had real force feedback though), the visuals. Everything seems fantastic so far
I tried and failed to notice the 2d crowds

Little conveniences like that, and the unified search and voice controls is probably why MS feels justified in putting apps behind a paywall, lol

I suddenly want a Xbone just for DR3 and KI =[ Are the Just Dance games any fun solo ? I never had a kinect for 360... Can't find xbone for sale online anymore, too lazy to go to walmart 1 mile away.

HOLY SHIT at some of the gameclips from Ryse on the SMARTGLASS app. The game is just ahead of everything else visually.
Ps: Damn the w8 touch keyboard! I couldn't get it to non capitalize the word SMARTGLASS XD

It does tell you. When you put in the disc and click on it to start installing it will say that there is an update for the game.

Why does the video distort the cars like that? The ones on the side of the screen. Is that some effect or soemthing?

Anyone having issues with BF4 booting you back to the home screen (while quitting the game) without warning? Happened to me a couple times so I reinstalled the game but I'm still having the issue off and on.
*Nevermind, seems to be an issue with the game.

I'm really enjoying it. Little things like turning the TV on and off and quality voice control might not make for the most amazing gaming machine, but they just make for a nice experience. The games aren't bad either!
Ah, must have missed that. It just was stuck at 0% Installing for me. But whatever, it's making progress now.

Face recognition is the most futuristic feature ever. I just keep jumping into my couch seeing how fast Kinect can recognize me. It is completely dark here. Faster Kinect has scored is 3 seconds. LOL.
Damn, how do you guys get so good at KI? I suck at that game.
looks like one of the upload studio skins
I am loving this console a lot! But I can't seem to find anybody with a mic, even though there is an included headset. I'd love to play coop with people (who talk lol) in Dead Rising 3 and Ryse. Other than that it works great, some growing pains with kinect understanding me but that seems normal.
Anyway, if you want to play coop just at me GT: N7 Ranger35

Has anyone else had a problem with Xbox One and their AV receiver? Mine works fine through the TV directly but through my Pioneer receiver I can only get audio, no video.
Also does anyone know a way to remove a receiver in the device settings?

It doesn't show progress anywhere. I'm at a family member's house with shitty internet and would prefer to know if it's going to take 30 minutes or 300 to download the update.
don't worry, I managed to lose around on Noob where the AI basically stands still
Yeah, its an effect. Its called widescreen. I didn't notice it until you pointed it out.
geeze, you're having a rough time. thought it was video but no audio? what pioneer receiver are you using? my cheap-ass vsx-1020k is working fine

Make sure you are on quick resume or whatever it's called. Also, it really depends on how you say it. Some people have reported leaving a second or so gap between Xbox and On. I find it works if I say it nearly all as one word, or with a very short gap.
I don't know if Kinect listens differently, so to speak, to different people. But I couldn't get it to work at all at first. After I finally got it, it's worked every time since. Once you get it, you'll know what it expects and it will work well.
Ah ok. Makes sense.
I assume you switched cables already? Did you check if there is an update for the receiver?

I have a VSX-1022 which appears to be the one receiver not on the Xbox's list of device settings. I picked the 1023 in settings and the Xbox can control it fine, just won't pass video through it. It did for a while then after I restarted it was fucked again.
Aww yeah. Dem daisy dukes. https://skydrive.live.com/redir?res...72&authkey=!AMd6lB3cKG3Vj8M&ithint=video,.mp4
