Common error 'we've lost your TV signal'

Just to note that my #1 no longer seems to work. #2 still does but is mighty inconvenient when your DVR happens to be recording and you can turn it off. What a frustrating device this has been.

This has been happening to me too for quite some time. Being able to run my cable box through my xb1 was convenient due to having a sound bar with an optical output and my tv not supporting optical. Running it through the xb1 it sounds great...when it's
working...which lately has proven to be very rare. Did you guys ever get it fixed? I've seen others complain about the same issue with no fixes.

well, i'm unplugging my cable box from my xbox one, since it never works anymore. when i got my xbox one, live tv worked most of the time and, if it didn't, it was easily resolved. now, through the last few updates, live tv works 5% of the time if i'm
lucky, with no way to resolve the error when it occurs. so the update effectively took away functionality from my xbox one, and i'm now unplugging something that's supposed to be a core feature of the system over PS4. way to go xbox/microsoft. cheers all
around on this one. good job.

I've been encountering this error for almost 12 months. It's gotten to the point where my 2 year old now knows the phrase "tv broken" when we get the error. Nice. I even sent my x1 back into microsoft for "repairs" though I have no idea what they actually
tested and/or fixed. When I got it back, it still had the problem. I'm also a comcast subscriber.

There are two things I now do that seem to resolve it in the shortest amount of time: 1) quit the tv app and start it again (i.e. hit xbox button, press the little button with 3 lines with the tv app selected , and quit); 2) quit the tv app, power off my
cable box (motorola in this case), power the cable box back on, restart the tv app.

#1 can take 5-10 times to work. When #1 really doesn't seem to be happening, I revert to #2 which seems to work decently regularly. In fact, #2 seems to work so much better that I've now started with #2 as a matter of course when I hit this error.

I totally feel your frustration.
