DirectTv: Acces to TV on xbox one

Unfortunately I have DirectTV for TV and Xfinity/Comcast for internet. There is a line for each coming into the house into a panel where it splits the lines that then go off into each room. So I can only make a room have a DirectTV (TV) line or an Xfinity
(Internet) line. So if a room as a DirectTV line, that line doesn't have internet, and visa versa for the Xfinity line not having TV. So where my TV is, I would have to switch that room to be split from an Xfinity line and then at that point I wouldn't have
TV there anymore.

Definitely not an ideal situation (I've always had your situation previously, TV and Internet from the same provider) but unfortunately I'm stuck with this setup until my girlfriend's DirectTV contract is up.

DirectTV gave Sony the ability for the past couple of years to have Sunday Ticket capabilities without DirectTV subscriptions on the PS3. It was removed from their store within days of the XBox One and NFL announcement.

Hey there!

Sorry to hear about the issue you're experiencing. Let's get the first and obvious question out of the way first: Is your Xbox One functional and operational? Does it work with your TV as intended? Next, does your DirectTV hardware also work as intended?

What happens when you plug your DirectTV hardware into your Xbox One's input HDMI port? Do you get a specific error message or code? What kind of TV do you have and what is your DirectTV hardware?

Having more information will help us better figure out which route to take for troubleshooting so let us know!

Polls only show if you use the TV app and then snap the Brazil Now app.

So plug in your DirectTV to the Xbox One HDMI IN connection and load the TV app on your console. Then snap Brazil Now.

The Brazil Now app won't stream the matches for you.

The alerts of new matches starting do seem hit or miss right now as to whether you get them or not.

I came home today and turned on the NFL game and it was really bad. I have had the Xbox since day one and never had this issue. tried everything, and finally bipased the Xbox and plugged my DirectTv into the TV...It works fine now.

It's unfortunate that this happened on day one of the NFL, and Day one of being able to use the NFL App while watching the games....

Anything I can do to fix this???
