How do you remove the cable box control settings?

BANDIT x42x · Jan 28, 2014

I have moved my XB1 console to a different TV and no longer run my DirecTV box through it.

In settings, there is no option to remove the satellite box. How do I remove it so it does not continue to turn the box on and off when I power up or power down the XB1 console?

Two remote issues: Samsung TV, Cox digital cable mini box Cisco DTA 250HD

I've had some success with this!!

I'm using the Cisco DTA-250HD box with Cox Communications. I was able to control the box by positioning the cable box at an angle towards the Kinect and then manually entering the code information.

Device control --> cable or sattleite box --> remove cable box --> cable box set up --> enter it manually --> cox cable communications --> select Cox --> enter it --> dta250hd --> select DTA250 --> set IR Delay to slow

Hopefully this helps!!

Need help plz!!

You cannot as far as I know. The Xbox One cannot control those features of the Cable Box. But I do not have cable so I haven't tested it. I have heard it won't control that or the DVR on your cable box.

I too would like to know how to do this. Seems like a pretty basic oversight to not simply have a removal. I imagine I will have to put in a box I do not have in the meantime in order to have it stop turning on my 360.

I don't think it was an oversight at all. Being a software QA tester I believe this was intentionally left out. I fully believe the software for the XB1 was no where near going to be ready when they wanted to launch so they selected components the deemed
unimportant for a launch to be left out and added through updates.

Typical over promise, under deliver.

Hi CydonianKnight1,

Have you contact your cable provider and asked them how your cable box connects to their servers?

Most companies are now transitioning to completely digital TV and those cable boxes remotely connect to the providers servers without needing to be plugged into your router. When you plug the cable box into the router if it doesn't need to be, interference
may occur or essentially blocking the connectivity of the Xbox One to your router.

If you have this new box connected the same way you had your old box set up, then I believe the new box has something to do with blocking the Xbox One connectivity and I don't think basic console troubleshooting will help with this situation since it works
fine once you remove the cable box from the picture.

I suggest calling your cable provider and ask them how you should set up that box, but if they don't have the information for you then it's more than likely that cable box is not compatible for Xbox One.
