Jut trying the MSN app. My wife is watching the Xfactor MSN UK exclusive.
I have to say, Microsoft have outdone themselves with this Dash update and metro apps.

My 360 is on more than any other device in my home now.
I know We have been saying it for some time now,but apps were the way for. So glad they didnt put time into a browser app.

unless of course they do it, then it will be the best thing eva!!! and you will talk about how great it is.

What the heck, am I missing something or does MSN actually have TV shows?

Thats insane, plus 4oD on demand pretty much seals the deal on whatever I watch on TV. With the Sky app along with youtube, 4oD and 5oD, the 360 is pretty much an all around everything entertainment system now.

Truely great job MS. But keep going.

If MS did decide to add a web browser I think most people would agree it would probably be the best of the three, just saying.

Ok, I was completely unaware that MSN showed full TV shows. Amazing. And its all free.

Also UPDATE:

UK:

4 On Demand is due December.
5 On Demand is due December.

Keep going M$ and ill cut off my cable provider.

All I need is Live F1. Now to contact Sky to see the cheapestt price for Sky F1 channell through 360 app.

It's a shame that the MSN app isn't in the US cause all of the other new apps that I've seen besides Youtube are worthless to me.



It's a shame that here in belgium you don't have any apps... Like what do we have, muzi and youtube.... Woohooo! I mean in the uk/us everybody already buys a 360. With or without the apps. And then you have the places where they could sell big but they don't do anything here (still no kinect voice support). I've been complaining at microsoft belgium but they don't do anything... Grumbl

No. phones have browsers. Iphone, android and WP7. They all suck. Individuaal apps are MUCH better.

Cant help yourself can you. I'll create the same thread in M$ forum again. But with Sony in brackets in the title. 



I've only tried the Verizon FiOS and YouTube apps and I'm not impressed with either.

The FiOS app is pretty pointless. You don't have access to all your channels, you get nothing else extra for watching on the 360, and you can't record from the 360. The only reason I would ever use it is if I'm recording two things on my DVR and there's nothing on my DVR I really want to watch on the moment, which doesn't happen often. I would have liked access to things like HBO and Cinemax or be able to record shows but as it stands, I'll likely never use the app.

For the YouTube app, I have I believe 11 other devices that can use YouTube in my home and the 360 app is one of the worst ones. The interface is nice but that's about as far as my compliments go. My big complaint about the app is that after you watch a video it doesn't show you related videos to what you just watched or more videos by that user.

I was browsing through the popular video and saw a video I wanted to watch. I watched it, liked it, but then I had to go back to popular videos. If I was on a good YouTube app, I would have been able to watch related videos or more videos by that user but on the 360 app I have to go into the search option and use the awful controller search (can't even use voice commands!). If I'm really yearning to watch YouTube on my TV, I'll just stick with AppleTV and Air Play.
