    Re: Xbox One

    Is Sling still available for a 30 day free trial? And if so, how long will the promotion last? And do I need Xbox Live Gold for it or no?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

      No clue, but I got an extra code from work. Want me to PM it to you?

        April update rolling out.
        • Party chat improvements – Additional icons and notifications within the party chat experience to help you understand your connection and microphone status. The party app will help you get your microphone enabled and show you when privacy settings or networking issues are blocking communication with particular party members.
        • Game hub links – You’ll see activity feed items when any of your friends follow a game, and you’ll also be able to get back to a game’s hub from activity feed posts related to the game – including feed items about the game’s achievements, game clips and screenshots.
        • Achievement notifications – With this update, you’ll also see the achievement’s description in the notification so you know what you did to earn this achievement without having to open the achievements app.
        • What’s On – The What’s On area is now available for Xbox One users in the U.S., Canada, and the UK. In it, you’ll find links to popular videos, games, movies, TV shows, game broadcasts and clips, along with Trending TV shows if you have configured OneGuide for your Xbox One console.

          I just switched my TV to go through the Xbox. Should I be concerned about leaving the console on for an extended period of time?

            I would say no, I haven't had any issues with it being on for days at a time, it doesn't run very hot, is quiet for the most part and I think that's what Microsoft more or less designed it to do as they want it to be a media hub. Just make sure it stays ventilated and should be good, IMO

              Nah. It was designed to be on 10 years straight or something like that. Mine has been on 7 hours a day or so since launch. Unless I'm on vacation or something.

                Should be fine to be left on. Only concern is how you feel about the power consumption.

                  Not worried about power consumption.

                    Thanks but no. I don't have Xbox One yet soit won't do me any good right now but will have it before the end of the month and was asking about Sling so I can watch the NFL Draft. Thanks anyway.

                      Was it really?

                      I always got concerned about leaving it on as well when I had my Tv stuff hooked up to it.

                          Yes it was. Even when its in standby its still technically on. Just a low powered state.
                          It’s easier to do the right thing, than to explain why you didn’t.

                            Yep, the box was designed by our HW guys to be "on" (fully on and connected standby/instant on mode) for 10 years. We said this around announcement time and I've heard it internally.

                            Can you give me some more details? Is it every channel? Just some channels? What's terrible? What's the model of your DirecTV box?

                            Maybe you could take a video and upload it to OneDrive?

                            We receive very few reports of bugs like this anymore, so I believe it's solvable, maybe even just via hot plug, new cable, or slight settings change.

                              I tried it through DirecTV and it was exactly the same quality as if it was just the DirecTV box.
