2 consoles - 1 Xbox live

Need your help. I am seeing mixed answers on the forum. I have 2 kids with 1 console. They are asking for a 2nd console so they can play online without split screen. I understand that Xbox has a home/family membership. my question is "do I have to buy each
game twice". What if I bought a physical copy? Can I download it on one and play with the disk on another? I read somewhere that u can buy digital copy - download it on primary...then change the primary console - then download it again? Would that work?
Does anyone have this situation currently? Lastly - if there is a way to avoid buying the game twice...can they play at the same time (with their own gamer tags)? Thanks in advance.

Xbox One Price drop

I thought they were getting rid of the family live membership because you could have so many members under your live account now at no added cost? So it should work out cheaper... at least I thought that's what they said at their E3 conference.

 

Xbox One Price drop

can you not fudge it to two?

I thought if I had a console and I had live then any player on that console gets live,

if I go and play on any console when I am logged in I still have live.

So if I had three folks with consoles, I could buy live for console 1 and 3 but have players 1 or 3 always use xbox 2, as they will get live benefits on the box without it, and the person without live can use one of the xbox's that have live baked in ?

its all a big faff, hopefully they will come up with a similar sort of live family arrangement

 

With the Xbox One there is a "Home" setting which allows all profiles on one console to share a gold subscription and games/content. So both kids can share everything on the Home console. In order to play at the same time, the child who's account is the
"Home" account would need to play on the non-Home console. That account can access everything on any console. This will allow them to share digital games, but if you have physical discs, they would need 2 copies.
