    Staying connected when changing TV channels


    Has anybody else noticed that you lose your connection to a game if you switch TV channels. WTF! If I've died or I'm sitting in a lobby, why can't I just check what's on TV, then come back to the game? Does the game really require that much of my attention
    when I don't have anything that needs doing?

    July update completely broke quality of live tv experience

    Wow what a complete disaster live tv is now after the July update.

    I have a direct tv receiver, hr20, and panasonic plasma vt60.

    My problems:

    1. Constant we lost your signal errors when changing channels that go away after several seconds

    2. Constant your hardware isn't licensed to watch protected content from my receiver when changing channels

    3. Experiencing static grainy screen, loss of signal, when changing channels

    4. Tv app launches in broken state sometimes where signal fades in and out.

    DNS settings not saving

    Yes, it's Prism TV. The TV worked when the modem was bridged, but would "lose signal" every 2 minutes, which was 'fixed' by changing the channel.

    Staying connected when changing TV channels

    I usually snap the TV to do this when I want to see what's happening in the Red Sox game.

    I disconnected the feed-through. I like to watch TV without needing to have my xbox switched on. I was also getting problems where the youview box (STB) was complaining about copy protection, or the screen would just go black because the HDMI connection
    on the feed-through was poor, so I'd have to fiddle with cables to get it working again. The TV signal is also downgraded from 1080i to 720p when going through the xbox one, so it really wasn't a good solution at all. In the UK we don't have any compatible
    boxes which have guide options too, so it's really a big waste of time.

    Sorry, I should not have assumed you had the Cable box hooked up to the Xbox.

    problems connecting my controller

    An option you may have already tried but i'll throw it out there... Actually connect your controller first with the tv off you will get a connection, at least solving half the problem. I'd also try "scanning" between your av/hdmi channels when the xbox is
    on... I have known some tv brands to just not show the channel until you've changed channel and then gone back again. Failing all this I would suspect hardware problems. Is it possible to find your tv manual? Online?

    Headset audio output

    The tv has audio output and the headset is connects. the audio comes through the headset just fine when it is on a regular television channel, as soon as I switch to HDMI the audio stops though, despite the fact that nothing has changed between the headset-tv
    connection. It's as if when I switch the television to HDMI, the output jacks just cease to function
