Xbox 360 New Dash Update (6th Dec 2011) - Anyone got it downloading yet?

What Sky channels do you get through Xbox?

I was only watching Sky sports when I tried it.

lol I only used the sky thing once last year sometime as the xbox is in the living room so if I wanna watch sky i'll be using the sky box rather than the 360. I can see how it would be beneficial in another room though.

Does anyone actually use the Zune stuff thats on there? I've never bothered with it tbh.

Loving the new voice activation options on this new update, much better than before and quite impressive. Will be even better when the other content launches (youtube, 4od etc)

I use the Zune movies a fair bit.

They do work out quite expensive though, so if Lovefilm put some decent films on there I'll go across to Lovefilm.
 
I rarely use Sky as it's in my living room (where we have a HD box), but I find it's great for the on demand content such as movies etc.

I think I'll keep my Sky Movies sub, even with the LoveFilm app available.

It's nice to have some of the smaller movie channels that show lesser-known stuff.
 
The streaming needs to be up-to date with what's out on DVD.

If it was recent films, then I'd subscribe. But it's all old.

Just tried to attach my Sky account and it's telling me I've already got 2 devices allocated and need to remove one.

I'm assuming this because I've got SkyGo on my iPhone and iPad?

Signed up for Lovefilm 30 day trial and £4.99 afterwards. Will see how it goes for a couple weeks.

Yes mate. They'll both count as two. So you'll have to forgo it one one of the above if you want it on your xbox.
 
I downloaded this last night, doesn't seem too bad.

Simple. But I don't spend any time on the dashboard anyway.

Don't like the update, didn't like the last one. Always thought blades were better.

Sky Player lets me watch all channels now though even though we dont have multiroom and I havent subscribed to it?

Youtube, msnbc, MUZU and Blinkbox are all now available for download. I'm not in the beta and I have all of them installed and working.

YouTube is good except the subscription area would be better with videos by upload time rather than by channel

Msnbc apparently streams free tv including bottom etc.

MUZU is pretty decent, free music videos etc.

Blinkbox seems s**t compared the their site which offers free content, the Xbox doesn't show this content, just paid for films and tv and it's no better priced than Zune etc.

Not sure if it has been mentioned before but has anyone else notices the Cloud Storage feature now, did this arrive with this update or has it been there for a while?

4OD is available now. Think its the full back catalogue too so much better than what the PS3 offers.

It stream beautifully too

I noticed that, I remember something a while back about Cloud being released to download new games. I thought it was going to be a stand alone system though

I've been using it since I got Saints Row the other day, haven't noticed it with any other games yet though and it doesn't sync with my save games already on my HDD which is a bit disappointing.

You have to move your game saves from your HDD to Cloud in the storage management section.

Bit of a PITA, and the amount of cloud storage is s**t considering the stuff you could put on there.
