HDMI pass-through issues

JeffSeale · May 17, 2018

Ever since the last system update, whenever I'd get finished playing a game and switch back into OneGuide to watch TV, I'd be greeted with about 5 seconds of loud white noise or no audio at all (or the HDMI pass-through would act normally, random occurrence),
but the video comes through just fine. Also, the HDMI pass-through volume has been reduced somewhat and I have to turn my TV up a bit as a result, thus making notification beeps a little louder.

HDMI Pass-Through Issues

I haven't messed around with the smartglass app much so I'm not sure of all the features yet but the ability to control the guide with it would be nice.

HDMI Pass-Through Issues

I don't have much to complain about, but if MS really wants the XB1 to find a home in the average living room, they're going to have to improve on the passthrough controls in order to make the wives (sorry if that seems sexist) happy. Kinect commands could
definitely use some help, but even better would be the ability to pull the guide up through smartglass. Or better yet, what about allowing actual channel number entry through smartglass, Kinect, or the controller. It doesn't make the wife very comfortable
when she sees you struggle to bring up Bravo for her through voice commands (because it's not in your favorites) and then fumble through the guide for five minutes to find it.

Just saying

People have the misconception of HDMI pass through. All this means is that the HDMI signal from your cable box is "passed through" the Xbox one. If your Xbox isn't on, it won't be able to pass the signal through.

I'm running my SKyHD box through the HDMI pass-through and am struggling to see this issue. How bad is the judder? Is it really noticeable?

As an aside, do we have any info on whether the HDMI input is passed through the X1's scaler or whether it is bypassed? Just that it is clearly a big step up from the cheap ones in some of my kit.

It would be a real nice feature to be able to set a Sat box to its native Res and then let the X1 scaler work its magic but have an option to use or bypass in the menu?

I have Cox (giggle) and I have no video issues. I do have sound issues though, which I think is related to shaky support on X1.

I also never use OneGuide, because i still browse with my harmony remote (fave channels set), or with voice commands. Though OneGuide is faster than my slow cable box.

To conclude, MS would win the world if they enable some form of DVR support.
