Live TV - No Signal, Viewing Card Issue and HDTC issue.

Hi all,

I've been having problems with viewing tv through xbox pretty much from day 1. Now to the point that I have disconnected it.

The issues have consisted of:

• No signal Message on xbox;
• Screen Freezes;
• HDTC Error;
• Viewing Card Needs Inserting.

I've gone through various things with xbox support...Hard resets, soft resets, a loose connection on sky box (when this was fixed the issue reduced slightly), changing resolution set-up (Not an ideal solution by any means), playing straight through tv (bypassing
AV Receiver)....But still I have these issues.

I know what some of you may be thinking errors like the viewing card must be related to sky box rather than xbox (well you may be right and I'd think the same), but what I can't explain is why when I spend weeks without passing through xbox I don't get the
error message, then as soon as I plug it back in I get the error message again. A similar thing occurs with the HDTC error. In summary in the two years before xbox one, and the times I have reverted back to normal tv I have had no issues...As soon as the xbox
one is connected it's a completely different story.

It's a shame, but fed up with it now so have disconnected until such a point it becomes worthwhile to live with the problems (not that you should ever have to).

Xbox One Live TV Setup causes BSkyB Viewing Card to be disabled

Got the same Sky box as you and are having no issue with the viewing card the only issue is blurring of the picture that is not there with a direct connect to the TV.

 

Xbox one TV Tuner question

Hey Pixel,

Sky freesat is different to freeview. You still need to use their boxes as the signal is still encrypted and you need the viewing card. The tv tuner is for un-encrypted signals - the tuner was never designed to take a viewing card etc as it would have pushed
the price up too far.

If this doesnt answer your question please create a new thread so support spot that you need help.
