Hello, first it's a pleasure to be able to help you today.

My name is welcome to the community.

Hello Christopher, generalemte this is possible with newer TDs that also receive information through hdmi ARC or eARC from your TV.

The console can not control all aspects of the TV, but to see what it can control must activate in the console the HDMI-CEC option

Go to settings»TV & Display Settings»Device Control HDM-Cec and choose the other settings you want.

How do I control other devices using HDMI-CEC?

ARC is Audio Return Channel. It allows a TV's audio to be sent back to the attached receiver via the HDMI Out of the receiver instead of having to run a separate audio line from the TV to the receiver. It's intended for use when using a TV's internal tuner
via an attached antenna or cable source.



HDMI CEC is what allows your TV's remote to control other components without actually programming the remote with the code for the other devices.



HDMI CEC pre-dates ARC by several revisions. Unfortunately, few things take advantage of it.

I don't know what anynet is, nor do I know if "HDMI control" and HDMI-CEC are the same thing, but HDMI-CEC is supported according to MS.

You can control your Set Top Box (STB) if it supports HDMI-CEC. You maybe able to control your TV, but again it needs to support HDMI-CEC.

Some STBs do not feature HDMI-CEC protocol (e.g. Sky HD STB), which means it can't be controlled via Xbox One. You need a Sky remote.
