    Hi all,

    I have this issue with a few titles but I am going to use Fallout 4 as the example. I have an Xbox in the lounge room and a second in the bedroom so we can both play (yes, that's two copies of the favourite games)

    I bought Fallout on disc (collectors pack!). I bought the season pass (for DLC eg Far Harbour) online.

    My Mrs got addicted to Fallout, which is an awesome problem, but we are forever jerked around by the DLC needing me to be signed in before putting the DVD in or it complains. It wiped her Far Harbour progress once...

    The problem comes if I'm playing the first console. If she logs me in on the second console it boots me from what I'm playing. If she doesn't, her save games don't work. Netflix is the other huge offender here because she has a profile in my Netflix account
    so the same situation happens. We are working around Netflix by using an Apple TV but I feel dirty using an apple to solve this!

    So, is there something I can do on both consoles so that all content is shared between our different live ids?

    :)

    Thanks for the above response. I did this with our Black Ops map packs and it worked perfectly.

    Hello JeffWhitty,

    I have been seeing some similar posts about multiple Xboxes in the same home. And, I may not have a fix for the problem. But. there maybe some kind of conflict between a game's DRM (Digital Rights Management) and "How
    to designate an Xbox One console as your home Xbox    ". It's my understanding that only one Xbox can be set to "My home Xbox" per Xbox Live account. So, the question is, is the Fallout DLC tide to one Xbox Live account. If it is, then it maybe tide to just one
    home Xbox. Also, it's beyond me why with all these paid 40GB plus DLCs, game publishers still require us to have the disc installed at the very same time we need to be on-line so they can validate the copy of the game we have already
    paid for.... In either case, it seems using multiple Xboxes in the same home is becoming more of an issue.

    Good luck and good gaimg,

    Hi Jeff,

    Could you clarify whether you and your wife are both using the Xbox One or Xbox 360.

    dlc content not available to other family members

    We are having the exact same problem. We have a family account with three members on it. All DLC was purchased by one member in the Family account, but we all three had access to it on our first Xbox. That Xbox broke and we replaced it, transferred the licenses
    to the new one and re-downloaded the content - and only the member that downloaded it originally can access it now. The other two in the Family Account only get the trial version, and have to pay to try and download it again. We tried calling Xbox Customer
    Service twice and got no help at all - they just keep saying to transfer the licenses, which we've done already. One rep put us on hold for 20 minutes, then disconnected. If you figure out how to fix it please respond to this thread with the answer...
