One Guide will be in testing for a few months so will not be in this months update. The new SmartGlass app is also in beta and is currently in the Play store. New SmartGlass app is to work with One Guide as well as all the stuff it did before.When they say months I assume this is for the smartglass app. I'm hoping the one guide comes in this months update. Been waiting for this since launch.
Yeah, I know. It never made sense on its own before though.One drive has been in the one guide since day one, along with other content apps, like lovefilm/amazon and machinima.
You have to say the channel nameCan you use voice commands like "Xbox watch channel 141" if you know the number or do you have to say "bbc 1" etc?
Would be good if could choose things from your sky planner at some point too
What's the idea behind that? Because you don't know the planner name?Can you use voice commands like "Xbox watch channel 141" if you know the number or do you have to say "bbc 1" etc?

That was a proper wow moment for me, like you say you can say it from anywhere, not just on the TV... it feels like a real game changer and was the first time I thought "Ahhh Microsoft... the whole TV through your console... I get "it" nowFirst off, being able to say "Xbox, watch BBC 1" is flat out a game changer.
They've said on the preview forum that they are well aware of this issue and they wanted to get it out to the preview testers knowing this is something that will be sorted outBut why do I have to say "Xbox, watch Sky Sports 1 HDTV United Kingdom" to watch Sky Sports 1? That needs fixing. The whole channel naming convention needs making intuitive, and in guess that's what the beta is all about, letting us hone it before it goes wild.
Agree completly!It's a great feature, and I'm starting to get the feeling MS's big plan is starting to come together now.
I can't remember seeing these channel options below the TV while in snap mode before, so I am guessing it's because of the OneGuide? Quite frankly, I love it.
Ya i posted about that the other day. I like it.I can't remember seeing these channel options below the TV while in snap mode before, so I am guessing it's because of the OneGuide? Quite frankly, I love it.
Ive not had to use Sky remote all day. Ive used One Guide to go to the channels i wanted to watch today and used the Sky+ app on my phone to play recordings from my Sky box planner and to delete them as well. Used the Media Remote to fw and play etc
Ya i know but its just quicker to fw via remote. I do use voice to pause and play sometimesNot sure if you know, but fast forward, rewind, pause etc. can all be done by voice as well.
Yeah its really good isnt it. It's now a part of my full time tv set up.Ive not had to use Sky remote all day.

I agree with sections. I have done the same with channels, its far to early to un favourite a channelYeah its really good isnt it. It's now a part of my full time tv set up.
The only thing it needs is a categories section.Entertainment,movies,sport,kids etc.
Its very long winded finding channels if you dont know the channel number.
Other than that its pretty damn good.
One more thing is how easy it is to "un-favourite" channels...The ammount of times the kids have gone into favourites and selected the channel to end up moving it out of favourites is a little annoying.
Really impressed so far.
