    Controller drift on one tv but not another tv


    I got the new Xbox series X but my controller drifts a little after I turn on one tv so I moved it to another tv an it worked just fine no problems but the other tv is more ideal.

    Controller drift on one tv but not another tv

    It's possible that one TV has a higher latency than the other or one is more aimed at gaming. Check the TV settings to make sure you have Game Mode (could be called different depending on TV) turned on as that makes a big difference

    good morning

    Controller drift, where the controller input registers movement even when the joystick is not being touched, can be caused by a variety of factors. It is possible that the issue is with the controller itself, but it could also be caused by interference from other electronic devices or problems with the console or TV.

    If you are experiencing controller drift on one TV but not another, it is possible that the issue is with the TV or the signal it is receiving. Some TVs are more susceptible to interference than others, and the signal from the controller may be disrupted by other electronic devices in the same room.

    To troubleshoot the issue, you can try the following steps:

    Make sure the controller is updated to the latest firmware. You can check for updates in the "Devices & connections" menu in the Xbox settings.

    Try moving the controller and console further away from other electronic devices that may be causing interference.

    Try using a different HDMI cable or port on the TV.

    Try using the controller on a different console or device to see if the issue persists.

    If none of these steps resolve the issue, it is possible that the controller or the TV may be defective and may need to be replaced.

    Virgin Media TiVo DVR controls

    So you have to control that stuff with Smartglass?

    Like holding a remote in your hand then?

    Lol... replacing one remote for another, one TV Guide/system for another and wasting power having to have the console on to watch TV.... Genius!

    Xbox One Passthrough work when off?

    Well, on my Samsung SmartTV its called Anynet so I'm assuming we're discussing the same thing lol. Its the ability to control one device through another's actions. Turn on the TV & the receiver turns on, TV can control receiver's volume, etc.
