As the Fall Xbox Live Dashboard Update is almost upon us, Microsoft has listed the wealth of TV content coming our way from tomorrow onwards, with an array of services being added from day one, and a whole lot more to come later in the month and in 2012.

 

Initially, you'll only have access to a handful of television services, with the likes of Hulu Plus in the US and LOVEFiLM in the UK, whereas the rest of the month sees a load more being added, while 2012 sees the introduction of BBC services in the UK, HBO in the US and a whole lot more besides.

F.Y.I. If you have epix you can go to there website and get a free 14day trial and you do not need a credit card. I'll be honest and say that you'll probably see all the movies you want to see in those 14 days, their library isn't all that spectacular but once again can't hurt to check out if it's free :D

i don't understand what the beacons are for.

Oh they're just basically pre-set invites. Most of my friends have big custom games for example, and they don't wanna waste time sending invites. So they set beacons, and when I, for example, play Halo: Reach, it'll say "So and So wants friends to play Halo: Reach". Hope i helped dude.

I do like the YouTube app but there are some things they should fix.

 

I have to always reactivate my account to my Xbox.

 

It only shows my favorites, I would like to see my History and Liked videos.

 

See some sort of modified channels, so you could view them.
