Original Xbox ONE is not showing up on my TV's HDMI ports - HELP???

Hi there.

The first thing to do - albeit seemingly silly - is make sure the HDMI connector going into your Xbox is plugged into the port labeled HDMI Out. The older XBO model has two HDMI ports, one in and one out. Make sure you have the HDMI cable
plugged into the HDMI out port (closest to the power cable I believe).

If you have it in the HDMI Out port and still nothing, it sounds to me as if the Xbox is sending incorrect display signals to your TV. I've found most display issues can be fixed with a simple graphics reset. This won't affect your data or games.
Follow the steps below to reset your video settings back to default.

·
First, totally power down your Xbox One by holding the power button on the console for 5-10 seconds. Don’t just tap it; hold the button down.

·
Next, turn it back on by holding both the disc eject and power buttons for a good 10-20 seconds. This bit is key: don’t release the buttons when you see the Xbox One light come on; instead, continue holding
the buttons until you hear a second chime. Also, just keep an eye on your TV screen/monitor — hold those buttons down until you see the green Xbox One start screen.

Your Xbox will then start in a very low-resolution state - 640x480. You'll need to go back into your Xbox settings and re-apply 1080p. Don't worry, if you are having trouble doing this there are plenty
of videos on YouTube showing you how to do so.

Hope this works! If you need more help, don't hesitate to reply here.

Cheers!

All you do is plug the HDMI from your PC into the HDMI IN port on the back of the console and it will show up as TV on your Xbox One (ie, "Xbox, go to TV" will show you your laptop screen).

Thank you for your reply!

Switching the HDMI cable did not help neither did witching the HDMI port at the TV. In fact, switching the port changed a good picture to a dark one. Switching back, the picture at the original port was dark, too. Restart at the original port turned it into a good picture again.

If you want to use your xbox to control your tv, then you want to plug your cable box or satellite into the hdmi in port on the xbox one. then you connect the hdmi out port of the xbox one to the hdmi in port on your tv(however to watch tv your xbox one
has to be on for the signal to pass through). I personally do not use the tv function of my xbox one,because I don't want to have to have my xbox on to watch tv. I have my cable box plugged into the hdmi in port of my tv, and my xbox one plugged into another
hdmi in port. Then when I want to play I just switch the input on my tv.

I tried all if these steps it works on the other tvs in my house except the tv in my bedroom the tv shows no signal on all HDMI ports for my main HDMI and my brand new one
