Just in case anyone is also experiencing this issue, it is apparently known.

It literally drove me crazy the past hour today (wish I Googled it first) and I have had to disconnect my cable box and run it straight to my receiver.

 

It is when you Watch TV through the One, you here a cracking (I believe it is called clipping) and mine was just incredibly annoying. Like every 2 seconds annoying. It was affecting basically all medium frequency sounds, so was primarily affecting my two front surround speakers.

 

Hope they fix it soon.

 

Link to thread with the issue for those who are in the preview program and can access those forums.

Yeah, I am also facing the same issue. As per their "issues" in the release notes they have fixed this and will release with the final version. This release is in the" known issues" section of preview dashboard

An 8.8 MB update has been released which removes the friend invite option from the registration app.

 

Closing this topic until it returns (if ever).

 

Edit: this is such a frickin' mess MS have created. If you have the Preview Dashboard app (not the Registration app), please confirm if you can still invite friends or not.

Can one leave this preview program if they want to? Is it as simple as just uninstalling the Preview App?

You have the option within the app to opt out of the program, and you can also set yourself back in the program, it appears.

Have not been able to confirm this for myself yet but a buddy of mine in an email said they actually removed the opt out and ability to invite people in the latest version of the Preview app. Will check it out when I get home unless someone can confirm it sooner than later (I just got to work, so a good 8-10 hours before I can check).

they haven't removed the ability to invite, or to opt out. I just checked in the preview dashboard app. they also released a fix yesterday that fixes the audio static issue for those who have it.

 

So you have the dashboard app with quests, submit feedback options etc, and you can invite?

 

Cause they've definitely removed the option from the registration app along with the opt out button. Happens regardless if you are on '08 or '09.

Not everyone has access to it. See my post on the last page about MS screwing up the process even more than it already was.

Yeah that's the dashboard app. Only a selection of testers have it (N)

Going to be even more upset if I am in that selection of testers that does not have it.

I want out of this program ASAP. Going to be the first thing I do when I get home.

Two updates in a row they messed up Watch TV for me.

If I lived on my own would not be a big deal.

If my mother did not come by my house everyday to let my dog out, it would not be a big deal.

But others rely on turning on the TV and it working in my household besides me, so I just want a stable easy experience.

If i can opt out I will.

If they fixed the audio cracking I may consider going back, but now I have to set up everything again as I had to reset it cause the One was still turning everything on and off even though I was not using it for TV, so probably just going to stick to it as I have it now.

weird, didn't know not everyone has it. I don't think ive ran into anyone on my friends list who I've invited who doesn't have it.

 

It's all over the forums, so definitely not a one off. Have a friend on '09 who only has the registration app too so not related to dash build.

 

Sooner we're all pushed to 09 now 08 is public, the better.
