  1. Remove cable box from Tv App?


    Hi All,

    I hope someone can help.

    I recently bought the Xbox Digital TV Tuner that works great! however i previously had a virgin media cable box connected via the HDMI which I no longer use.

    My problem is when i use the new 'whats on' section on home or search for a show and select the channel it tries to change the channel of the virgin media box rather than the digital tuner so it gives me the Signal has been lost screen.

    I can simply bring up one guide and scroll up to the freeview channels however it's a bit annoying.

    I have removed the Cable box and TV info from the TV app settings but the Virgin channels are still showing and still seem to be the default.

    Anyone have any ideas?

    Thanks!

    :)

    problem streaming cable TV through xbox one

    Hi, should the above not resolve the issue, power the console off and remove the power cable from the console, also power off your cable tv box and remove the mains plug from the power outlet, Wait two minutes, power up the cable box first and once that's
    fully booted up reconnect the console power cable and power up the console.

    I think XB1's connection to my cable box messed it up somehow

    So, the past week or so I've had to reset my cable box because it's been showing on when it's off and won't turn on or off and I had to remove power from it.

    Now I lost all audio to my shows and would occasionally show the cable box not being connected. The cable TV functionality has worked quite well up until now mind you.

    So I now had to unplug the cable box from the XB1 and reconnect it to the TV for it to function properly, but beforehand, the cable box had to basically reset itself for 15 mins going through it's various reset things.

    Is this a known issue?

    connecting xbox one to a smart tv

    You want to use the TV app on your TV through the console, or the TV app on your Xbox onto your TV?

    A standard HDMI will get the Xbox on your TV but you will need another HDMI cable from your cable box to the XBox like a pass through.

    need help setting up surround sound !!

    I think it would work if you remove the SCART cable between the Virgin box and the TV, and move the other SCART cable going to the home theater system from the Virgin box directly over to one of the SCART inputs on the TV.

    Check the cables to see if they have any labels on the connectors. If one end is labelled "TV" and the other "DVD" or similar, it's wired to carry signals in one direction only. If you have a cable like that, use it between the Virgin box (DVD labelled end)
    and the home theater system (TV labelled end), and the other cable between the TV and the home theater system. If both cables are labelled this way, you need to pick up a fully wired SCART cable to go between the TV and home theater system.

    Connected that way, the DVD player will input picture straight to the TV instead of going through the Virgin box, and the sound from both the Virgin box and the Xbox 360 will be sent to the home theater system back through the SCART cable.

    If this works, then leave Dolby Pro Logic II enabled for both games and TV - both will benefit from it.

    Hope that this helps. :)

    Xbox Mute needs to be sent twice to Samsung HW E350

    I have a Samsung television and a rogers cable TV box. Both the television and the cable box turn on just fine.

    It is only the soundbar that does not power on. What's strange is that the mute voice command is required twice, however only one input from the smart glass app is required.

    Video Degraded - Direct TV

    Because I'm moving I unhooked the XB1 and connected the cable box directly to the TV. I was quite stunned at the video quality improvement of Live TV when the XB1 was removed. I don't know if this a new degradation or if it's always been there as I've used
    the XB1 and Live TV app pretty much from day one of the XB1 release.

    Essentially, the HD DPI looks less and the picture looks slightly fuzzy when compared to direct to TV from the cable box.

    My guess is MS is not working on this since no one has responded in over a month.

    This is not specific to DirecTV as I've always been a Comcast customer. Will be DirecTV after the move though.
