While I was watching a 3D Blu-ray movie on my PS3, I discovered that Active Shutter 3 D Glasses don’t work when the XBox One is turned on.
I am guessing that the new XBox One Kinect is the culprit. Even though none of this stuff works in Australia#, the Kinect has an inbuilt IR blaster which probably interferes with the infrared signals being sent to the 3D glasses by the TV.
In any case the problem goes away as soon as the XBox One is switched off.
This is going to be an issue if or when XBox One is upgraded to pay 3D Blu Ray.
# I have read that the the Australian free to air (FTA) channels will not provide their EPGs to Microsoft. (By that I assume it means they will not allow Foxtel to extend use of FTA EPGs already in in Foxtel / Austar STBs for use on X Box One.) Reports that FTA channels won’t co-operate come as no surprise. After all, these people can’t even tell the time. (I am talking about advertised program starting and finishing times.) And don’t get me started with the irrational chopping and changing of programming schedules. I remember when the Sopranos was being shown on FTA. It was almost impossible to keep track of broadcast times and I gave up trying to watch Fringe for the same reason.
Foxtel has also not yet allowed use of its EPG (with or without the FTA component). You can get Foxtel Play (for a fee) via the X Box 360 (as well as PCs and other devices). Foxtel Play is a way of getting Foxtel over the internet without a STB. So, unless I am missing something, it doesn’t appear that being able to plug the Foxtel/Austar STB into the XBox One would harm Foxtel Play.
In any case, it seems that Foxtel and MS are having “discussions”. See http://mmgn.com/xboxone/news–why-theres-no-foxtel-on-xbox-one
