I've had zero connectivity issues with pads. I have about three I think, only one of which isn't a first gen version.

 

im not on the preview programme because why spend your time dealing with stupid bugs?

I've had an Xbox one for just over a week and the pad has cut out two or three times. Didn't have any impact on what I was doing at the time, but I can't imagine how frustrating it would be in the middle of an online game.

So does none else have intermittent connectivity issued with gen 1 pads?

 

I've given up on wireless and use a USB connection with my main controller, it got so bad.

 

Pretty pathetic of Microsoft to bring out these new custom design controllers with 'better connectivity' and Bluetooth, but not accept that they screwed up in the first place.

Yeah, all the time. Even the Elite pad does it on my elite console. I have 3 controllers and they all do it. I'm convinced this is why the new Xbox one S controllers will have better range and also be Bluetooth. 

 

Not on the preview program. 

Ive moved anything near to it, replaced speakers etc. Nothing makes a difference. 

Its even more frustrating if it disconnects while using a headset. The pad will eventually connect again, but the headset dosent without a restart. 

 

Whilst playing Inside the pad disconnected 6 times.

Is OneGuide good enough to use it to pass through my Wii U signal? I've ran out of HDMIs on my amp, and I don't play the Wii U often so don't mind turning on my Xbox One to play it. Does it compress the video signal in any way or does it just pass it through unmolested?

 

EDIT: Think I've answered my own question. It's laggy, constantly pauses for a few seconds at a time, and there's no sound. Outstanding work :lol:

Get the Amazon branded auto hdmi switcher, around a tenner and I have Xbone, ps4 & wii u plugged into it then into amp and works perfectly!

That function is meant for watching telly isn't it? No surprise that it adds way too much lag for a gaming signal. A decent HDMI switcher is the way to go

Yep, both fully updated.

 

I'm certain it's a hardware issue they haven't acknowledged. It's too frequent and widespread not to be.

 

Buy another pad from argos.  Put yours in it. Return it.  Life's too short.

Going to purchase an Xbox one in the next few days. Is it worth getting the Kinect for voice controlling when used for media as I don't reckon it will be used for gaming. Also planning on picking up the tv tuner assuming it provides a satisfactory picture. Needs to be wife friendly.

We switched to using the Xbox and TV tuner after binning Sky last year. Picture quality is great and Kinect is alright for commands but if it's going to be the main thing you watch TV on, I would get the little media remote too.

Out of interest - why not wait until the Xbox One S is out? Smaller, a bit more powerful, better controller, Bluetooth, also functions as a UHD blu-ray player as a free bonus (be sure to tell your wife and also tell her how expensive a standalone UHD player is!) and iirc it does voice commands without the need for Kinect.

We don't have a 4K tv and have no plans to get one anytime soon so the extra hardware on the S would be overkill. 

 

So the logic was purchase the Xbox one which would see us through at least until project Scorpio is released. 

 

Of course I may convince myself otherwise before making a purchase.

Just get one now. They're very cheap at the mo. Currys was doing them for £185 plus a game. S preorders are like £240+

 

And it doesn't do voice commands any differently than the normal Xbox. Either Kinect or headset mic.

 

Cheapest S seems to be £349.

That makes sense, I didn't realise you were planning to upgrade to a Scorpio later on. Then it doesn't really matter which flavour XB1 you get now. Great console either way, you won't regret it :)
