Wow, that is amazing.
TV yes, you need to set it up under TV in the system settings first.
Controller I have no idea but I'm guessing no.
Go to Settings for your TV
Controller is manual as its wireless isn't on when off
Though if you are using wired?
Its disabled by default
Go to settings and enable it. Its obvious they are still testing it as it says BETA beside it lol
I think it's there but you need to turn it on. It has a BETA tag next to it.
word. Xbox Snap Activity Feed. bam.

Heh, once you configure the volume controls through the Xbox, you can also control volume through smart glass
I think if you have it set to be on standby mode for fast wake-up it continues installing, BUT maybe that's just for downloads. Not sure about disc installs.
I turned it on but it doesn't seem to work, but yeah...beta. Guess they're not kidding

I purchased madden because my brother really wanted a football game. What a piece of shit, graphics look just like 360.
Really? That's bizarre! So many "beta" features.
Well, think of it like the Xbox version of the steam library
Was it an install of a disc game? (don't have discs to check)
EA really dropped the ball. Nba live is a joke all around. Madden looks like 360 on ps4 and x1. Battlefield 4 has not been working for a solid week on ps4/pc. Hope they get their act together
LOL

This is gonna take some getting used to.
I keep lauching Forza, playing for a bit then going through the different apps, dash and menus and then going "it's gonna take a while" only to click Forza and it pick up exactly where I left off.
I keep trying to trip it up but no luck so far. It goes straight to where I left off without any hiccups.
Going to let BF4 and maybe Ryse download over night. I figured Ryse would be good enough for eye candy. Do wish there was a demo though.

Yeah it depends on the HDMI splitter/switch. I change inputs on my HDMI matrix switch via a Xantech IR blaster. Outside of the usual HDMI handshake delay, it works great.

Ugh, I think my Day One console is busted. I was noticing white flickering pixels all over dark screens and often it seems to have trouble sending a picture to the screen despite hearing audio. Normally I'd just swap at Amazon but how does this work with a Day One console?
Did you try an alternate HDMI cable?

I think a lot of them went into it with much cynicism and expecting voice commands not to work. It's almost like they wanted it to fail and it became a self-fulfilling prophecy. But if you go into it open-minded and follow the instructions, you find it works very well.
I saw several video reviews where they just were talking to it like a conversation and that's just not how it's designed to work. Natural language processing still requires the cloud and these commands need to work when you are offline so they can't use that cloud processing power (except "Xbox Bing" which does use natural language and uses cloud processing to make it work... and it works very well).
Its both great and awful at the same time... I wish there was add as friend and follow as separate options
Still want the friending process to work like 360... right now forces a lot of unnecessary communication

If you hold the controller while the Kinect sees it, it syncs automagically that way. If you aren't using a Kinect or it can't see the controller, you have to do it the old fashioned way with the sync button on the back of the controller.
Microsoft support said the power supply is supposed to be silent. Said id either have to pay to ship the PSU to them to replace it or return the xbone to the retailer I bought it from.
Motherfuck, ill return it but they wont have any to replace it with god fucking damnit.
First time Ive ever had an issue with a launch console.

I think you need to pause between "Xbox Select" and anything else. Think of "Xbox Select" as a separate command like "ok, now I want you to listen to everything I say from now on, until I tell you to stop or time runs out"

Ya, no dice.
As long as you didn't put it on the lowest power state you should be fine
The game DVR is pretty terrible in its current state.
Just look at this shit:

It works with most games, but some games (Forza seems to be one of them) don't handle it properly. I'm sure it will get sorted out eventually.
I'm holding out hope that the hip hop gamer rumor of 2K making a return to the NFL game is true. EA really fucked up with all these launch spirts games. 2K killed it with NBA.

Wireless interference? Maybe wireless headphones or a nearby router? Could also be bad batteries. Try fresh ones.
So there is currently no way to listen to some custom music while playing a game like you can on the 360 correct? I snapped Xbox Music and could listen to some music (with the game music still playing though unlike on the 360) but as soon as I unsnapped it the music stopped playing.
Nah, they don't have names for separate shows
So when you say Xbox select... wait and a bunch of popups show up
So if you wanted to watch ghost dad and its on screen, it may have Select 7 as the call out.
You can navigate through the app with just voice as you would on controller, unless you are looking for something specific.
Obviously best for browsing or playing from recently played stuff.

Not sure how you mean. "Friending" someone works exactly like 360. You send a request, they accept, you're friends. The only difference is there is a halfway state where once you've sent a friend request, you're following them and will continue to do so even if they never accept your request.
