Has anyone else had problems connecting the XBox One via wireless? Mine's been fine since I got it in February but since moving to a new place (shared with two other lodgers) my XBox kept dropping connection throughout an evening for the first month and now it won't connect at all. I go to connection settings and it finds the wireless broadband signal just fine, I try to connect to it and I get asked for a password, it thinks for a moment and then tells me it cannot connect. The last thing I was going to try is take the XBox downstairs and connect it via ethernet. Maybe that will sort the problem

I've set up my old Xbox 360 and that seems to be connecting without problems as does my phone and tablet. (I should add that my destop computer also loses the wireless connection if it goes into sleep mode and needs a complete reboot before it connects again but is solid if I stay connected).

I've got a home hub 5 and have had three xb1s running on live fine I seem to remember you posting in ATF about it King A, I'm assuming you didn't resolve the issues you had?

But yeah, home plugs solve most issues.

Best I can do is one Xbox open NAT, the other Moderate. Pisses me off as it's stopping me and the other half playing GTA online together.

I'm honestly amazed at how basic it feels given how long they've been working on it. The guide is useful when in game but the actual dash is rubbish.

Yeah, almost everything feels like a step backwards to appease the complete and utter morons.

"Guys, they said settings is too hard to get to"

"We can fix that, let's make it so you have to press more buttons this time and get rid of the shortcut"

:hmm:

"Guys, they said that the snap is crap"

"Ok, we'll get rid of one of the most useless snaps (party), and then instead of having the most common snap items there when you double tap, let's just have an alphabetical list"

:hmm:

I tried mine the other day and it wouldn't work. I'm not even sure the XB1 has an IR sensor, just poking around it.

I doubt it has an IR sensor since it launched with an entirely separate IR detection camera.

It does have ir in as the xbone media remote is IR.

I have one, its quite nice.

Oops :-)

Does anyone know whether the App channels or whatever it's called is eventually going to access Netflix and Amazon, or is it going to stay all expensive Xbox Video? I can see it being really useful if it ties Netflix, Amazon, YouTube and live tv together, and being absolutely useless and appalling if it doesn't.

i feel the same and have suggested as such to them, all i can advise is that you suggest it to them,

also in the preview dashboard app you can click feature request and request it there. (if microsoft 'edge' would work..) the more people the merrier and the more likely they are to listen or you can do it here -

https://xbox.uservoice.com/forums/251646-apps/suggestions/8477182-netflix-needs-to-be-added-to-oneguide

it has been mentioned a few times in the Live TV section to include netflix and HBO and stuff, but has a low amount of votes.

edit:

as it turns out you can already do this, but barely.

you go to oneguide, press start and go down to app channels then click on amazon instant video and you can favourite each of their categories and then it'll show up when you go down to app channels in the future. amazon prime has 3 channels - most popular films, most popular TV and newly added films

cant see the same option for netflix or nowtv or anything, i can only see amazon prime, youtube and xbox video
