    I don't get it..


    So I recently got a cable subscription and thought to myself, "Hey, I can watch this on my xbox..maybe I'll try it out!"

    Upon trying to do so, I learned that it needs an hdmi port which my box doesn't even have....which leads me to ask the question, why does it need to be plugged into the console? Hell, why do I even need the Xbox for it when I can just plug the cable box
    right into the TV and cut out the middle man? It doesn't make sense that you need two devices to perform the same task that you could easily do with one and it seems extremely redundant. I mean, isn't the whole point that you don't need the cable box or am
    I missing something here?

    :)

    I did this too and talked with Customer Support. They said you can't play on PC with Game Pass. Even though a Sea of Thieves ad pops up at my Windows 10 start button for the Microsoft Store, and clearly says "Play Free with Game Pass" with $59.99 crossed
    out. Why would this pop up on my Windows 10 PC when you can't play on PC with Game Pass? It's very misleading. Plus, now that I've activated my two-week trial on Game Pass, it's going to be wasted. They can't pause it ... I asked.

    1. I signed an account on xbox.com.

    2. I activated code for "xbox pass" 30 days.

    3. When I open "xbox pass" games, I see there Sea of Theives - avalible for free with xbox pass.

    4. I click on "try for free with xbox pass".

    5. I've being automatically redirected to buy page.

    What? No matteh how many time I did that, two pages are linked together forever.

    Click "try with xbox pass" > redirected to buy page

    Click on buy page "get xbox pass" > redirected to previos page

    I don't get it I don't get it.. :(

    The cable box does need to be plugged in to the console in order to stream the channels through it. If you want one you could talk to your cable provider about providing you with an HDMI capable box.

    Some people do appreciate having the ability to watch TV and play games at the same time.

    Your cable provider should swap out the box for you at no charge.

    I would definitely complain to your cable company. Not having a HDMI cable box is like still owning a dumb phone. It's 2014 for goodness sakes.

    I don't get achievements

    Yes, I saw this article, but unfortunately it could not help me. I tried to log into the account, reinstall the game, restart the PC, tried to enter the game from another computer, check if there is a connection between the steam and xbox accounts, but none of this helped I am also attaching a screenshot that the conditions are met. You can follow the link to my account and see that there is no achievement.
