Balm its gone!
waikariboy: I just jump onto Amazon, but gift cards, then vpn into XBOX.com with a US connection and redeem the codes. Once they are loaded i then buy games on xbox.com though vpn and no issues. My account is NZ based and they only thing i have to worries about it when i can download a pre-order game. Most times its release day 6:01pm.
PhotogenixNZ: I haven't had any issues since turning on voice recognition. 'XBox On' works 99% of the time, as does 'Record that', 'Volume Up & Down' and 'Turn off'.
On another topic - Media Player - supposedly now supports MKV DLNA content - but only my MP4's are visible at the moment. And it has no nice content management front end - just horrendous folder navigation. Wondering whether Plex is worth a shot, but sticking with my WDTV players at the moment.

Plex is the best $79 I have spent on Media playing technology ever. I have spent a LOT over the years. It's seamless.

simple logic.
qyiet: Couple of questions:
Can you snap the TV
Can you use voice control (eg to change channels? pause etc)
Is there any appreciable change in game performance while using the TV tuner (either snapped or streaming to smartglass)
edit: also is there any kind of battery in the packaging anywhere (damn youshop UK and their rules)

keepitwarm: Oh and to answer the question about gaming performance I haven't noticed any performance dips or anything.while running the app, can't say I've streamed to smart glass for that long. Ill play with it more at the weekend and let you know.
