February System update details

• Game hubs – New in preview this month, game hubs are the go-to centers for all sorts of interesting content around your favorite games. Every Xbox One game will have a game hub where you can see which of your friends are playing the game,
  compete with your friends in game leaderboards, dive into the coolest game clips and game broadcasts, and follow the game’s VIPs and top players.
  
  To get to the game hub for your favorite game, find a game in your pins, recently played list, or
  My games and apps, then press the Menu button and select View game hub. You can also search for any game in the Xbox Store and click on the game hub tile from the game’s store page.
  
• Custom backgrounds and tile transparency – We listened to your feedback and added additional tile transparency to the Home tiles to make your background images more visible. As a reminder, to set a custom background, go to
  Settings > My Xbox > My background. Note: some items can’t be made transparent due to usage rights/restrictions for certain images.
  
• TV updates – We’re releasing a lot of updates to the live TV experience and features are being released to additional countries in preview this month:
  • OneGuide for the Netherlands – Support for OneGuide will continue in preview for the Netherlands and the missing channels for the Netherlands OneGuide listings will become available over the next few weeks.
    
  • TV trending in OneGuide – As you scan the detailed OneGuide TV listings, you can see which shows are trending by a “Trending on Xbox” note and associated icon. Xbox – live TV trending is based on the number of Xbox One owners currently watching that
    show in each country, pulled from anonymous data collected at a national level. Currently, Xbox TV trending is available to all members in the U.S., UK and Canada.
    
  • Live TV trending (new countries) – France, Germany, Brazil and Mexico will begin seeing live TV trending data in Xbox OneGuide.
    
  • Improved control of TVs, set-top boxes and audio/video receivers – Xbox One will work even better with more devices. This month’s preview release contains updates to the IR blasting database for new models and addresses issues reported by our fan
    community.
  • “Trick play” with Xbox One Digital TV Tuner – Preview members with the Xbox One Digital TV Tuner in supported countries (UK, France, Germany, Italy and Spain) will now be able to see video frames when fast-forwarding or rewinding paused TV on your
    Xbox One consoles.

Live TV streaming on Windows Phone and Android – We are continuing the preview of live TV streaming on Windows Phone and Android devices for Xbox One Digital TV Tuner owners in the UK, France, Germany, Italy and Spain.

February update out

February update

news.xbox.com/.../xbox-one-xbox-one-february-system-update started rolling out last night

 

Good to see the updates are starting again.

 

Tile transparency will be good, the rest I'm personally not bothered about.

 

Just remember, it's the little things that help the whole package shine through in the end.

 

Thanks to the video link I posted above, I found out that the new game hub feature will have a complete list of your friends that own a particular game in its own game hub - this means that you will never have to ask who owns which game again since you can
just look it up!

Pre-update, you could go to your friends page where it would show games commonly played recently by your friends, but you would only get 1-3 listed names followed with an abrupt "..." that you could click on. However, if you click on it, rather than showing
you a complete list of your friends that have played the game, it instead takes you to that game's store page. :|

 

Bit sooner than I thought. Look forward to transparent tiles but until Australia gets the Digital TV device the rest is for the birds.

 

Tile transparency is awesome, that was needed. Also, gamer Hub looks better than i first thought after watching the video. Good start.

 

Game Hub is a good idea, excited for that. Hopefully future updates can extend the max time for game dvr.

Stoked to see how everything changes as time moves on.

 

tile transperacy is a idea i had when background first come out

 

^ you and about 4 million others ;-)

 

I've downloaded update but don't see any of these options

 

I've got the transparent tiles and they look good. Best to set the tile colour to something like the grey-ish one, they become more transparent then.
