OneGuide and TV Support for Australia

Any idea of when we'll get this functionality? I know our broadcast commission are difficult to say the least (if that's part of the reason for the delay? ), but surely we're a large enough market to warrant quicker support? We do seem to be left out quite
often, though in all fairness the fact we got Xbox One in the initial launch window at all wad a pretty nice surprise!

Just please let us have full TV functionality soon?

New Zealand - Live TV Support Request (And every other country that hasn't)

Hey guys

I have created a uservoice request as follows:

We have been waiting for the Live TV section in the OneGuide to be supported in New Zealand. Australia has it and is only just across the water.... Why cant New Zealand get it.

Yes we can change region to Aus to gain the Live TV access, however NZ Freeview will not work as the only freeview options are those in Aussie states. Its about time this gets looked into as NZ is missing out on this.

I would be very grateful if everyone can vote for this so that the Kiwi's get the support for TV!!. And hopefully every other country that hasnt got it yet!!!

OneGuide Australia Support.

Yes. OneGuide for Australia is supposedly in the Jan 2015 Preview as articles on CNET announce but they are only talking about FTA (Free To Air), at the moment, along with the Digital TV dongle soon to be released in Australia (March, but pre-orders are
available via microsoftstore.com, I've pre-ordered).

I've been trying to get onto the XBox One Preview so I can try out this in Australia but a few friends that have sent a request for me has not given me access. Not sure what the deal is. But I have my Xbox One connected to my Foxel IQ2 box and I've been
waiting for the OG to be released. And I believe Foxtel is releasing their IQ3 box this month (Feb), so I'm eager to test the Preview of OneGuide with IQ3.

Don't know why it is so hard to get involved in this Preview Program.

 

clearly our voice in australia means nothing, and those who do say something are ignored.

i would have never thought to have used the xbox forums to launch complaints, however, that's what customer support said to do....so here i am....telling a page that will never be read, by anyone thta could make the change.

xbox one australia is absolute rubbish .

it is not a 'all in one console for the home theater' as we were promoised.....and to make it a little less 'not a all in one console' i have to buy xbox gold? (which would only allow me to surf the net and use you tube- which i might add are both free on
EVERTHING else)

we dont get netflix in australia. but im sure they charge extra per watch as well....

it has gotten to the point where im thinking of swapping to a ps4. and i HATE sony

yeah tv functionality....come on....its not like they have the same tvs in america as in australia....i mean they have their own samsung factories pumping out their own modles of tv...oh wait ...they dont? then WHY THE F!@# IS THIS A ISSUE??????

as im sure this will be flagged as spam or abuse.... btu this has got nothinging on the spam and abuse that microsoft have pulled on the customer...

unbeleivable how disrespectful microsoft has been with its loyal customers in australia...

you would think they would have given us a year subscription free for remaining with a sub-par next gen console.

 

Unfortunately we bought an idea, not a complete product.

Kinect was at the centre of that lounge room experience and with it now being unbundled, and MS confirming devs will have access to more power without it, its now looking more likely that you'll want to remove it in favour of better performance.

If thats the case, then it impacts the vision this product originally had, and might impact any potential for TV/Foxtel guide control in Oz. You can still use one guide and its limited features but it will never be the same experience as in the US.
