xbox live rewards are doing the referral thing again,

so if anyone here is upgrading to xbox one by the 25th of november, let me know & shoot me a message or just add me (gt in sig) and i'll send you a referral and we both get 25,000 reward points (be sure to sign up for xbox rewards! http://rewards.xbox.com/) works out to £15 you'll get to spend on a digital game or whatever. think you have to be a member of xbox rewards and not have used your account on an xbox one previously (though not sure, think it was the case last time)

Salsa if you're up for it? have sent a cheeky friend request either way. :D and if there's more than one person interested in upgrading someone else can obviously refer the next person once the previous person has reffered someone etc

A successful referral is registered with Xbox Live Rewards when all of the following conditions are met:
  1. A referral to your friend is made through the Refer-a-Friend Spotlight Challenge offer page.
  2. A referral email is received by your friend.
  3. You are the first Xbox Live Rewards member to refer your friend.
  4. Your referred friend has an Xbox Live account prior to the start of the offer period.
  5. Your referred friend purchases a new Xbox One console from any authorised retailer.
  6. Your referred friend connects to the Xbox Live service on the new console for the first time.
  7. Your referred friend registers the Xbox One as his or her home console.
  8. Your referred friend joins Xbox Live Rewards, if he or she is not already a member.
  9. All of the above takes place either within fourteen (14) days of the receipt of the referral email or before 25 November 2015, whichever happens sooner.

Simply complete the following steps:
  1. Select eligible friends from the box on the right and hit 'Send' to fire referral e-mails their way. For a friend to be eligible, he or she must:
    • Be 13 years or older
    • Reside in an eligible location
    • Not currently own an Xbox One
  2. Make sure that each friend you refer purchases a new Xbox One, signs in to Xbox Live and activates it as his or her home console by 25 November 2015*.
  3. Your Rewards are on the way!

Oh nice one. Hopefully this will be good for two machines at once. Thanks.

Can you report back if you have any success please? Got the very same problem, 2 xbox ones and the shitty HH5 so one console has open nat, while the other is strict. The HH5 is a pile of wank.

I've had two xb1s on live at the same time (and a 360, we were transferring borderlands saves) on my hh5 with no issue, we both had voice coms and played online with two others (with me hosting) but I didn't check if it was open or moderate on both to be fair, I didn't do anything just let upnp do its stuff, no port forwarding or dmz tinkering needed.

How else would it work?

I have no idea, but if I tell it to open the ports for XboxA to connect to xbox live, I cannot tell it to open the ports of XboxB to connect to xbox live. Even if only one is connected at the time.

It's just a bit shit that it doesn't implement UPNP properly so it has all sorts of issues with two of the same device (Two xboxes/ps4s etc). Also the default setup of it makes it have issues with many Apple devices.

I've never got better than a moderate Nat with 1 XB1 connected and no tinkering. With tinkering I can get an Open NAT. With both machines the best I can get is one Open, the other Moderate.

Have you tried homeplugs? (sorry if this has already been talked about, late to the party here)

If you have a half-decent router you can forward whatever ports to as many different consoles/computers as you want. That's nothing new. I've never heard of the HH5, but reading this thread I'm sort of amazed how shit it seems to be. Mind you, the modem/router my Dutch provider installed isn't that great either (I replaced the router part of it asap) but it sounds like an amazing piece of advanced tech compared to the HH5.

I'm not a networking expert by any stretch of the imagination, but I always thought that that's how manual port forwarding is supposed to work. Specific ports to a specific device.

It also can fuck voice chat between certain people, and oh boy if you expect a semi reliable game of GTA online you're wrong. When we have both online trying to play GTAO, we can be spending more time trying to connect to each other than playing. Often when it finally does work, it boots us both out of the server and puts us in one with no one else in.

Ah I see, I thought you were asking that question the other way around. I'm no networking expert either, I just online a lot.

I bought a set of homeplugs after reading about them here. My Xbox connects to Live alright but I can't play any multiplayer, it just won't find any games on Gears or Halo, and won't even connect to Destiny servers. My NAT is open and I'm using a BT Home hub. Any ideas?

Which homehub? 4 or 5? Done the 4 triggers trick after a network test?

About having two equal consoles on one router, search in the router setup for Port Triggering instead of Port Mapping. If available, Port Triggering doesn't require pointing to a static IP, just setting the ports. I took my PS4 to my brother's house last Xmas, and both could play Destiny online simultaneously

When you hold down triggers and bumpers all together after you've run the Multiplayer Connection test, what your console is actually doing is that it sends out information to delete the existing PortMapping for the required ports for Xbox traffic and adds new PortMapping. If you simply were to run the Multiplayer Connection test, you wouldn't see the same results through a debug process, because these values are actually cached values.

If your console is getting diagnosed with NAT behaviour of a Cone NAT, that would mean it's diagnosed with the least restrictive form of NAT behaviour, which is where you want to go.

Does anyone know if Microsoft have improved their accounts and subscription method?

On the Xbox 360, the worst part was attempting to change any part of your subscription or attempting to remove your credit card details from the device. Has this improved with the Xbox One and can you cancel through the console easily or remove your debit card details?

Long story short, I own a PS4 but Sony have continuously took money from my wallet or attempted to for PS+ Subscription, despite me removing my card details or selecting do not auto renew. The last straw was yesterday, where i put in a code that was given to me as a gift, but my 3 month renewal rolled round and despite swearing blind I canceled it, £15 came out of my account today.

I phoned Sony and they said you can cancel within 14 days but if it was auto renewed, they can't give my money back...
