Uses different protocols plus technically XBL (360) uses different servers to XBL (One) .. Doubt if MS will ever bother tbh ..

Xbox One owners are complaining that a new TV advert is switching their consoles on without their permission.
The ad - featuring Breaking Bad's Aaron Paul - has the actor say "Xbox On" near its start.
The instruction appears to trigger the machine's Kinect voice/motion sensor, activating the console.
A spokesman for the firm said it had no comment at this time, but noted that previous ads had also featured voice commands.
Many people have posted comments about the problem on social media sites.
"Aaron Paul just turned my Xbox One via the Xbox advert. (Which triggered the IR [infrared] blaster to switch my TV off..)" tweeted Qassim Farid, a UK-based tech blogger.
Chesterfield-based Tom Neal wrote: "@Xbox your new TV advert is annoying the hell outta me. Aaron Paul keeps turning my console on… #stooooop"
The effect has also been noted on news discussion site Reddit's Xbox section, with one commentator writing: "Damn commercial keeps turning on my xbox! Lol"


The post reflects the attitude of many console owners who have posted about the matter who appear more bemused than angered by the glitch.
This is not the first time such an effect has been reported.
In November Xbox One owner Tom Kimberl posted a video to YouTubeshowing that an internet ad that featured the command "Xbox go to Dead Rising 3" launched the game on his system.
Users affected by the issue do have the ability to turn off the Kinect sensor, which prevents the console responding to voice commands.
The issue has parallels with an effect played for laughs in the TV series 30 Rock where a voice-controlled television went haywire when on-screen characters mentioned its trigger words.

Ha, jinx, sorry Lebowski! I got collared to sort something half-way through my post, by the time I clicked "post" you'd already linked to it! Ha ha ha!

[Lebowski]

lol its a good story, not had it happen myself but then my kinect never listens to me so i doubt it would listen to the TV.

Would have been better if when he said snap TV it showed breaking bad Never had any problems with any adverts controlling my Xbox though, people must have the volumes right up!

[originalbadboy]

Wouldn't surprise me if they did it on purpose as surely someone would have realised this would happen?
