Xbox One’s TV integration experiencing difficulty in UK & Europe

4.6
Xbox One launched in several territories last Friday, including the UK and Europe. However, one small hiccup appears to be causing issues for users connected via the console’s TV pass-through capability.

The ability to connect your cable or set-top box to the console via the HDMI-in pass-through is one of Xbox One’s touted key features. Doing this will allow you to use Kinect as a TV remote and, with supported boxes, allows the console to pull all the programme data and display it on your TV. It also offers voice search, among other features.

According to a report by HDTVset.co.uk, it appears however, that Microsoft didn’t think of one small thing before bringing the feature to the UK and Europe. The console is reportedly running at 60HZ at all times, which is non-issue for games and TV broadcasts in the United States, since the country’s TV broadcast is all in 60HZ. The issue is that in PAL territories, namely the UK and mainland Europe, all TV broadcasts are using a 50HZ system leading into a judder-filled picture, according to the site.

The site notes that the Xbox One uses a method of frame rate conversion – or ‘FRC’ – to be able to display and accept the signal at 50HZ, then display it at 60HZ all the time, which is especially jarring in panning shots or any broadcast with fast action, such as live football.

fex It will always been an issue in the UK because of the stupid "TV License"


Yeah I heard about this, and actually seen pictures of it, seems pretty stupid.


Yeah the TV license rubbish is stupid. Basically every house has to pay like 10 a year for a TV License and their worried about people using their console for an on demand TV Without a TVL


Well I knew of it, but I am not from the U.K that seems pretty stupid, I feel for you.


Haha, yeah it is a bit annoying but when it works I mean the BBC app is awesome :D


Well I have quite a bit UK friends and they said the app is!


Yeah British TV is good for what it is but US TV has sooooo much more to offer


Oh believe me I know, I have the best money could buy!


I guess it will always be a problem then? Because of the pathetic "TV License". I guess we can use the awesome apps?

Exactly. You're going to expect something to go wrong. Not everything is perfect on launch.

KAQ And who said that the xbox one wouldn't have problems when it first comes out ?


Nobody.
It's new technology. All new technology will have its bugs.


The bugs are not anywhere near as bad as the ones that where encountered with the Xbox 360. Hopefully everything will be fixed up in the near future when it comes to this aspect.
