Dashboard Beta

[Mendon]

Anyone here sign up for the Dashboard Beta and try it out yet?

 

I received it yesterday and am in the process of checking everything out. Not supposed to comment on it, according to the rules and regulations, so I won't go into specifics other than to say its interesting.

 

I will, though, make a comment on ESPN that I don't think violates any rules: Maybe the fault lies entirely with me because I didn't fully understand how its supposed to work, so I'm not PO'd at MS. But unless your high speed broadband ISP has signed a deal with ESPN to carry their products, you won't get live ESPN programming. Out here in the boonies, I have one provider available to me and they aren't a ESPN provider so I'm out of luck with this feature. To find out if your ISP has a deal, go to espn3.com and look over their list of authorized providers.

Here's the list of providers that have an agreement with ESPN.

I got accepted for the beta but I haven't had anything through yet. Gah!!

 

Also, it won't affect my place on the beta if I cancel my Xbox Live Gold subscription today, will it? I haven't used it at all.

Seems not. Just got the update.
