So, how's everyone feeling about theirs? Any issues anywhere? Anyone unplugged theirs(I believe SF did)?

I've noticed that it'll often times take two tries before tONE will recognize "Xbox ON" but I'm also generally outside of view of the Kinnect when this happens. Is that why or is it a patch issue that will be coming in the future?

Other than that, I'm absolutely in love. Just finally(not sure why it took so long) hooked my surround sound up to auto on/off with the console. I mean, even if I have to tell it twice to turn on, it's still so much quicker than fumbling for three separate remotes like I used to have to do, but it'd be nice to have happen on the first attempt.

It's a thing of beauty watching your ONE power up, followed by your TV, cable box and surround sound. And all without a single remote.

I was wondering how this worked with surround sound and receivers. I've got 4 different things plugged into my receiver. So I'm guessing I can still use the pass through and tell it to turn on...but will it turn on the TV and other things too through a receiver?

I don't have a cable box in my room so no tv anymore but man am I missing it.
the cool thing is you have to remember we aren't even a month in. The OG 360 dash looked nothing like the final so in a few years these features will only get better and maybe we will see something we never expected

I haven't even played a game on mine but use it to watch tv.

I need a way to push movies to the xbone like you could on the 360 (without using windows media player).

Only issue I have had is if I watch a Blu-Ray and turn on 24fps, the audio is off by a half Second.

If I turn off 24fps it is fine.

Is your console in low power mode?

Yeah that is weird. It has worked flawlessly for me. I know after an update you have to manually turn it back on,

I haven't tried any of the media features yet. I play my xbone via a monitor and separate from my cable box.

I was loving mine until this weekend. Randomly, I started having trouble getting my cable to work through the Xbox One. My Comcast box is showing a DVI error, which is weird because I am using HDMI cables. Upon starting up the XBox, it was taking at least 2 minutes to get a picture from the cable box, and sometimes it wouldn't work at all.

But it listens when I say Xbox on, so I have that going for me.

Mine actually did something similar. I just went through the cable setup again and it works fine now. If it happens again ill be contacting MS for a new console, but it hasn't since I did.

The voice controls are the best features of the Xbone IMO. I got a new TV for my son for xmas and the xbone will be going in his room once I hook the TV up so that I can have my TV in the living room back. I love being able to walk into the house and turn everything on, change channels, etc. with the voice commands. One of the best features is simply "xbox - mute". When the phone rings or a neighbor comes over, BAM - mute without having to find the remote. It's pretty sweet. I'll miss it once it goes into his room.
