xbox one & tv

I have bought an xbox and want to set it up for tv. this is what I understand .... I need an external hard drive to be able to record stuff, the xbox digital tv tuner and a subscription to xbox live ?

with these I can then watch live tv (limited to the 'oneguide' tv programme list) ?

if I then also subscribe to 'now tv' I will have those additional channels appearing in my 'oneguide' list ?

from my now extended 'oneguide' list I can schedule and line-up recordings in advance and / or line up recordings for whole series over a period of months ?

or do I need something extra for this ??? ie: additional set-top box or a sky box for example ??

thanks

:)

The OP has another thread here too. Fingers crossed they come back and check either of them.

 

Xbox one & TV

At the moment its not possible to record TV to an external hard drive, that was announced last year but as of yet, it hasn't been implemented into the Xbox One.

As for watching TV through your Xbox, you can plug virtually anything into the HDMI in and as long as the Xbox has it on its list of "TV providers" your good to go.

Basically all you do is plug the Now TV box into the back of the Xbox One, then go to the system settings on the Xbox and look for a setting called TV setup (or something like that, at work so cant remember)

It will then take you through the process of setting up the Xbox to work with your Now TV box, and that's pretty much it.

 

Firstly , you don't need an external hard drive to record game's gameplay clips.

 

Hello, FoundRumble!

I'm not familiar with the TV One guide as I do not use it, however I have found a couple of support links that should help you out. The third link is about how to record programs using the one guide and your xbox remote controller but by accessing a Skybox
etc..

Unfortunately I don't think you can record programs from the one guide straight to an external hard drive.

Setting up Live TV with your xbox one

Importing channels from 3rd party apps to the one guide

Using your xbox one guide to record programs on your tv/sky box

I hope these help a little bit!

 

You will be able to record programs to an external hard drive, just not yet, that feature was announced at last years E3, but as of yet its not a feature of the Xbox One.

I would imagine it will be shown off at this years E3, and then Phil Spencer will say "and you all will be able to use this feature right now"

 

thanks for all the advise. still waiting for the thing to be delivered actually but I'm sure I know enough to get me started now. thanks very much to everyone.
