  1. console rarely finds my TV signal, or locks up, or does not show picture at all


    As a Day One purchaser, all the way back to the original xbox, I have to say I've been extremely frustrated with my console over the past year plus. I have my Direct TV running through the unit if I ever want to watch and play at the same time, which is
    a pain since there aren't controls to shift from tv to game etc. and Kinect RARELY understands anything (what a piece of junk that is, but that is another story).

    When I go to turn on my tv I usually have to power off the console completely and re-start just to get my tv signal. Other times, I can hear audio, but the screen is black, thus I have to re-start the console.

    Half the time when loading previously played games, it locks up and I have to again re-start my console, the same can be said for Netflix App.

    Anyone else experiencing this extremely annoying problem? Does anyone have a solution?

    Thank you

    :)

  2. UK tv issues through Xbox one

    My sky box is normally fine picture wise..

    On occasion it will seemingly lock up when switching back for a few seconds.

    On booting it will sometime not show a tv signal until switching to another app and then back again.

    Hi there M Diggity Dawg!

    Sorry to hear about your issues that you're facing with your Console and signal.

    So, just to clarify, you are having issues with your Signal connecting to your devices such as a TV.

    • When did this start to begin?
    • What have you done so far to troubleshoot it?
    There is a very helpful support page online regarding this subject.

  5. Hi The St Michel,

    thank you for replying. To be honest, this has been happening since I first set up the system on launch day…which of course disappointed me to no end. I will try the troubleshooting suggestions you sent me. I will say, recently I am experiencing a problem
    when the console does not read game discs correctly now. It says i have to purchase the game at the store when it is in the console, or it just can't read at all until I completely unplug the unit and do a fresh start up. Any suggestions or history of this
    problem for others?

    Thank you again

    Hi there Diggity!

    Thanks so much for the response, I am pleased that you're going to go through the troubleshooting steps to solve your issue to get you back into the game without issues!

    To the issue you're having about your console not being able to read discs effectively..

    • Is this happening to all discs or perhaps just an individual game?
    Hope to hear from you soon!

    Frustrated, and *** off, here as well. The latest (and there's been many) issue I'm having is that when turning on the xbox via voice the tv does not come on. So I turn it on, only to find the OS is sitting there, unresponsive, with little circles spinning
    around. The only solution is a hard reboot - as is the case with most things on the XB1. I wouldn't mind so much if these things were few and far between, but it's a constant. Day one purchaser here as well, plus I own two of them. It makes me very nervous
    to actually purchase games for the thing because I feel like I'm just waiting for the thing to crap out. And considering the SIX Xbox 360's I went through, and MS's attitude during that time, I'm not too confident that if it does fail I'll get much satisfaction.

    St. Michel,

    It first affected only my kids Disney Infinity 2.0 Marvel Superheroes but now it is also affecting my NBA2k15 so I fear it's the console and not an individual game.

    I do appreciate your help and willingness to troubleshoot with me.
