The Feb update is live. I have sent out another invite for simon and the dingo I get the feeling that you need to call the helpline if you are not in yet.

http://majornelson.com/2015/01/13/xb...s-now-preview/

Starting today, members of the Xbox One preview program will get to check out these new features first:

Game hubs – New in preview this month, game hubs are the go-to centers for all sorts of interesting content around your favorite games. Every Xbox One game will have a game hub where you can see which of your friends are playing the game, compete with your friends in game leaderboards, dive into the coolest game clips and game broadcasts, and follow the game’s VIPs and top players.

To get to the game hub for your favorite game, find a game in your pins, recently played list, or My games and apps, then press the Menu button and select View game hub. You can also search for any game in the Xbox Store and click on the game hub tile from the game’s store page.

Custom backgrounds and tile transparency – We listened to your feedback and added additional tile transparency to the Home tiles to make your background images more visible. As a reminder, to set a custom background, go to Settings > My Xbox > My background. Note: some items can’t be made transparent due to usage rights/restrictions for certain images.

TV updates – We’re releasing a lot of updates to the live TV experience and features are being released to additional countries in preview this month: OneGuide for the Netherlands – Support for OneGuide will continue in preview for the Netherlands and the missing channels for the Netherlands OneGuide listings will become available over the next few weeks.

TV trending in OneGuide – As you scan the detailed OneGuide TV listings, you can see which shows are trending by a “Trending on Xbox” note and associated icon. Xbox – live TV trending is based on the number of Xbox One owners currently watching that show in each country, pulled from anonymous data collected at a national level. Currently, Xbox TV trending is available to all members in the U.S., UK and Canada.

Live TV trending (new countries) – France, Germany, Brazil and Mexico will begin seeing live TV trending data in Xbox OneGuide.

Improved control of TVs, set-top boxes and audio/video receivers – Xbox One will work even better with more devices. This month’s preview release contains updates to the IR blasting database for new models and addresses issues reported by our fan community.

“Trick play” with Xbox One Digital TV Tuner – Preview members with the Xbox One Digital TV Tuner in supported countries (UK, France, Germany, Italy and Spain) will now be able to see video frames when fast-forwarding or rewinding paused TV on your Xbox One consoles.

Live TV streaming on Windows Phone and Android – We are continuing the preview of live TV streaming on Windows Phone and Android devices for Xbox One Digital TV Tuner owners in the UK, France, Germany, Italy and Spain.


We’re excited to start the New Year off on the right foot by continuing our commitment to making Xbox One the best place to play. Let us know what you think of this month’s preview and stay tuned for more news on Xbox One system updates.
Thanks!

(Appreciate it!)

Does it do it automatically? The YouTube video Major Nelson put up didnt actually show a button to click or an option to choose to make the tiles transparent.

At least I couldn't see it.

It does it automatically after the update. Under settings, system see if you can update your console. It's something like that.

I got a friend request containing the preview app from a complete stranger!

(Must have been someone off Twitter or Major Nelsons blog)

I'm just glad I'm now onboard!

Transparent tiles, lovely jubbly. Got mine set to the nearest colour to white as possible, seems to make them even less noticeable.

I hadn't thought to do that. Will give that a go as I didn't think the transparency was that great
